How this market settles
What could still go wrong
- The term 'valuation' as measured by NPM Price may differ from commonly reported funding round valuations, creating potential confusion about which valuation metric applies.
- The deadline for data publication is 1:00 PM ET on January 1, 2027 for December 31 trading data, with a grace period until 11:59 PM ET on January 4, 2027, introducing timezone and calendar edge-case ambiguity.
- Total outstanding common shares used for public market cap calculation is not defined with a specific source, which could cause disputes if share counts are contested or restated.
- Revisions to NPM data are excluded unless 'clearly erroneous' — the threshold for 'clearly erroneous' is subjective and undefined.
- The market creation date is not explicitly stated, creating ambiguity about the start of the measurement period.
