The logic: if the company licensed this software from someone else instead of owning it, they'd save money on royalties.
That savings = the value.
Except this software wasn't finished. Finishing it would cost more than the royalty savings, this year.
Savings minus cost = $0. 3/5
There are three standard ways to value software: look at future cash flow, look at comparable sales, or look at what it'd cost to rebuild from scratch.
The first one — the "future cash flow" method — is what returned the $0. (2/5)
A company built AI software that watches factory floors and catches safety violations no human inspector would see.
