method
Each row is a discrete observation, not an interpolated annual estimate. The compact chart selects one point per year by a fixed evidence order: financing or tender with signed, confirmed, or completed terms; internal 409A mark; completed investor secondary; then reported or unfinalized financing and market indications. Within the same tier, transaction status, confidence, source authority, and stated rather than inferred values rank before observation date. Missing years stay missing, and the chart never carries a prior value forward.
Pre-money, post-money, transaction-implied, common-stock 409A, and market-indication values remain labeled separately. Approximate and inferred figures preserve their qualifiers. The bars use a linear scale from zero to the largest selected value; labels show the sourced nominal values.
