Football-field valuation range synthesis

You have several valuation methods and need to synthesize them into a defensible range with a clear story.

The prompt — copy and run it

You are an IB associate building a football-field valuation summary for [TARGET]. I will paste the ranges from each method (DCF, trading comps, precedent transactions, LBO, 52-week range, analyst targets — whichever I provide). Produce:
1. A TABLE listing each methodology with its low/high, the key driver of that range, and how much weight it deserves and why.
2. A synthesized VALUATION RANGE with the reasoning for where the defensible midpoint sits.
3. The methods that disagree most and the economic reason for the gap.
4. The 3 assumptions a client is most likely to challenge, and your answer to each.
Use only ranges I provide; do not invent a method's output.

Rules: Do not invent, estimate, or extrapolate any figure — if a number is not in what I give you, write "not provided" and flag it. Mark every claim I should verify externally before relying on it. Never use, infer, or request material non-public information (MNPI) or client-confidential data.

Why this prompt works

A football field is a persuasion tool only if the weighting logic and the reconciliation of disagreements are explicit — this builds both, and pre-empts the client's hardest questions.
