Exactly one source prices each metric family. Misano picks custom override, then niche, then NACE — never a weighted blend of the three.
Why one source
- Weighted blending of custom, niche, and NACE levels was mathematically fine and impossible to explain to a human. Misano killed that blend in June 2026.
- Each metric family (EV/EBITDA, EV/Revenue, P/E) gets exactly one source. The provenance stays a sentence you can read, not a cocktail of weights.
The order
- Custom override — manually entered levels for a specific company. Final: no heuristic adjustments are added on top.
- Niche — finer than a NACE division ("wholesale" is not a C2C marketplace). Where the niche has that metric family, it wins. A family the niche lacks falls back to NACE — the method does not silently switch off.
- NACE baseline — the floor that exists for every company. Fallback chain: NACE division → legacy sector table → generic default.
What this is not
- Not the method cascade EV/EBITDA → P/E → EV/Revenue (that chooses which metric to multiply once a source is chosen).
- Not staleness gates or football-field triangulation — see misano.ai/guides/stale-filings-cannot-make-todays-headline and misano.ai/guides/value-band-is-triangulated.
- Not a claim that NACE alone is enough. NACE is the floor; niche and custom exist because a division is often too coarse.
