OTC methodology

1. Read each company’s current stored market capitalization.
2. Compute segment returns from listed-stock movements and apply the sector-comparative model.
3. Analyze recent company-specific news and apply a bounded AI adjustment.
4. Store the resulting valuation, daily change, applied AI impact and reason together.

The AI impact is capped at ±15%. It is a modeled market-cap adjustment, not the total daily return. Sector movement and AI impact are distinct inputs; their percentages should not be treated as interchangeable.

When news analysis fails or finds no material news, the model can retain the sector-based valuation with no AI adjustment. A 0% AI impact does not prove that no relevant news exists. Same-day completed updates are skipped to avoid compounding the same adjustment repeatedly.

The update timestamp indicates when the model was stored. Even if a field is presented as a trade timestamp, it is not independent evidence of a transaction.
