Intro
Notice Price reflects the current market consensus for a company's common stock price. To determine the current market consensus, Notice is based on the most accurate pricing algorithm in the best private market data inputs available.
What makes Notice's pricing algorithm the most accurate?
The accuracy of any pricing algorithm is measured by the ability to predict the next trade price. Using this measure, Notice Price is the most accurate pricing available in the private market.
Predictive range for the next trade
Our 80% confidence predictive range of the next trade for companies with high private market consensus (indicated by dark blue/grey Notice Price Drivers icon) is +/- 9% of the current price.
Our 80% confidence predictive range of the next trade for companies with low private market consensus (indicated by light blue/grey Notice Price Drivers icon) is +/- 20% of the the current price.

What makes Notice Price data inputs the best available?
We use five data inputs to determine Notice Price:
Financing rounds: Financing round valuations
Internal marks: 409A appraisals
External marks: Quarterly '40 Act mutual fund marks
Private market data: Verified executed trades and open bids and offers
Public comparables: Proprietary basket of public peer companies
We source trades, bids and offers from a global data collective of market participants, which include 90+ independent brokers and 2,500+ individual investors.
We verify all trade data before incorporating it into our pricing algorithm, and we incorporate trades and open bids and offers contextually, based on the size of the trades/orders and the data source (eg. market expertise of the trading parties).
