Data product valuation: Pricing, risk, and ROI of enterprise datasets

Abstract

The study lays emphasis on the implementation of predictive, market factor modelling and sensitivity-based simulations in the latest market conditions to increase accuracy and reliability of product valuation. Exploiting the historical transaction datasets, the author will use vendor-specific negotiations and portfolio optimization architecture to submit an overlay strategy where it intends to combine intrinsic elements (e.g. cost of production, quality rating) with the forecasted benefits of machine learning models. The technique involves ROI, volatility quadrant mapping, and slope, as well as Pareto analysis in procurement decision, along with integrated portfolio charts to determine trade-offs made on return and stability.
The quantitative findings showed that predictive signals were valuable when added into the valuation models by increasing its average ROI by 18-22 percent at product classes with wildly varying returns and minimizing volatility of pricing by up to 15 percent based on stable market segments. The negotiation patterns on vendors demonstrated that procurement could make an improvement on prices reduction opportunities, which are about 6 to 9 percent which is related to direct effect on the use of procurement. Also, the variance decomposition displayed that intrinsic product quality explained nearly 4045 percent of price changes with remaining volatility driven by market mood and external shock.
The results validate the performance of data-driven valuation systems over classic cost-plus and comparison-based pricing and particularly when used in conjunction with portfolio tracking tools in real time. The strength of predictive and multi-factor valuation models is mentioned in this paper with reference to the achievement of stable pricing strategies, facilitation of beneficial procurement negotiation and successful investment decision making in manufacturing, retail and a commodity-based business.
