5. Text → Numeric Key Factors

Each LLM call returns one number. Rows are ordered by absolute weighted valuation impact.

Rank	Parameter	Numeric shock	Valuation contribution	Rationale
1	regulatory	+3.00%	+0.00%	Potential lifting of prediction markets ban in the UK signals a more favorable regulatory environmen

6. Pricing Models and Weighted Valuation Change

7. Priced-In and Expectation-Gap Adjustment

implied_delta = Σ(model weight × Σ(parameter shock × elasticity))
priced_in = max(aligned price drift, historical information diffusion)
expected_residual = implied_delta × (1 - priced_in) × reaction_efficiency

Quantity	Value	Interpretation
Implied fair-value change	+0.00% (+0 bps)	Before market-pricing adjustment
Already priced in	0.0%	Price and diffusion channels
Historical reaction efficiency	0.0%	Robust asset/category median
Expected residual move	+0.0 bps	Remaining quantified expectation gap

10. Audit Notes

• Every reusable numeric field from the narrative report is included above.
• Parameter names are restricted to the asset-specific registry.
• Model weights sum to 100%; all model contributions are retained.
• Historical efficiency uses a bounded median to reduce outlier influence.
• Direction codes are +1 for up, 0 for flat/unavailable, and -1 for down.
