# Evolution 16 — IP register delta

**Internal analytical scenario. Not an appraisal, not a financing valuation, not a market price, not a legal
conclusion, not a guarantee.** No patent is filed. No legal review, external review, independent reproduction or
customer validation exists for any family below. Method: `valuation_methodology.md`.

Register: `artifacts/valuation/CAIN_IP_VALUE_RECALC_V47.json` (new). Previous register v46: unchanged, byte for byte.

## Standalone IP base (USD)

| Scenario | Before (v46) | Gross added | Discount | Net added | **After (v47)** |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| LOW | 6,366,640 | 24,000 | 22% | +18,720 | **6,385,360** |
| BASE | 16,404,530 | 60,000 | 12% | +52,800 | **16,457,330** |
| HIGH | 29,022,000 | 105,000 | 5% | +99,750 | **29,121,750** |

Arithmetic, BASE: 3 ENGINEERING x 12,000 + 3 INTEGRATION x 8,000 = 60,000 gross; x (1 - 0.12) = 52,800 net;
16,404,530 + 52,800 = 16,457,330. Families: 186 + 6 = 192.

## The base after each implementation step

| Step | Family | Tier | LOW | BASE | HIGH | Running BASE total |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | DRR-GOV | ENGINEERING | +3,900 | +10,560 | +19,000 | **16,415,090** |
| 2 | WAD-AUTH | ENGINEERING | +3,900 | +10,560 | +19,000 | **16,425,650** |
| 3 | CSC-WB | ENGINEERING | +3,900 | +10,560 | +19,000 | **16,436,210** |
| 4 | CMC-OBS | INTEGRATION | +2,340 | +7,040 | +14,250 | **16,443,250** |
| 5 | CRV-MJ | INTEGRATION | +2,340 | +7,040 | +14,250 | **16,450,290** |
| 6 | BXE-RT | INTEGRATION | +2,340 | +7,040 | +14,250 | **16,457,330** |

## Company and founder (existing formula, unchanged: IP base - 268,000 + business premium + customer validation)

Updated at the owner's instruction of 2026-10-12. Files: `CAIN_FIRME_AI_AND_FOUNDER_VALUATION_V42.json` / `.md` (new).
The v41 files are unchanged. The canonical `FOUNDER_VALUATION_OCTOBER_2026.json` and
`CAIN_FIRME_AI_VALUE_WITH_CUSTOMERS.json` were rolled forward to v42 at 13:19 UTC and then, two minutes later, to
**v43 by another session** (Sovereign Evolution 7, register v48, which takes this v47 total of 16,457,330 as its
starting point and adds its own families: BASE 16,534,770, founder 19,016,770 / 20,016,770). The canonical files
therefore show v43 today, and it includes Evolution 16's increment. The v42 script now refuses to write the canonical
files if they already hold a higher base, so re-running it cannot lower them.

| Scenario | Company, investor | Company, strategic | Before (v41) investor / strategic |
|---|---|---|---|
| LOW | 8,867,360 | 9,867,360 | 8,848,640 / 9,848,640 |
| BASE | **18,939,330** | **19,939,330** | 18,886,530 / 19,886,530 |
| HIGH | 31,603,750 | 32,603,750 | 31,504,000 / 32,504,000 |

Founder (Vincent Noriega, 100% owner, paper equity) equals the company scenario: BASE 18,939,330 /
19,939,330; maximum HIGH 32,603,750. The premiums are the register's existing
assumptions; Evolution 16 produced no revenue, customer or financing evidence that bears on them.

For each: the technical problem, mechanism and limits are in `architecture.md`, `mission_contract_spec.md` and
`recovery_execution_spec.md`; the baseline comparison is in `test_results.md`; the closest prior art and the questions
for counsel are in `research_prior_art.md`; failure modes are in `failure_mode_analysis.md`.

| ID | Category | Suggested treatment (for counsel to decide) | Confidence that it is distinct from prior art |
|---|---|---|---|
| DRR-GOV | Evolution 16 incremental improvement | trade secret (implementation) | low to medium: Temporal-style non-determinism detection is close |
| WAD-AUTH | new technical invention **candidate** | patent question for counsel, else defensive publication | low to medium: Atomix and Cordon were read at abstract level only |
| CSC-WB | new technical invention **candidate** | patent question for counsel, else defensive publication | low to medium: AP2 mandates are close |
| CMC-OBS | integration of an existing implementation | trade secret | low: largely present in Evolution 8 |
| CRV-MJ | integration; product packaging | publish the verifier (it is meant to be handed out); copyright | low |
| BXE-RT | integration (method) | none; could be published as a benchmark | low |

Evidence level E4 for all six: deterministic, adversarial and regression tests executed by the author. None is E5
(independent reproduction) or higher.

## Not counted, merged or rejected

- Not counted: F16-01 coordinator re-execution after an unknown outcome (remediation)
- Not counted: F16-02 retracted environment fact still trusted (remediation)
- Not counted: evidence validity window at admission (a parameter, not a mechanism)
- Not counted: use of Ed25519, SHA-256 hash chains, fsync, flock (standard)
- Rejected as a new family: self-improvement admission lifecycle: already in the register (governed_evolution); nothing new built
- Rejected as a new family: delegation attenuation: already in the register (CMDG, DBA-LIVE)
- Rejected as a new family: mission drift detection: existing RXA-AMEND and ARGUS drift; nothing new built

## Scenarios B-E
B (portfolio commercialization) and C (revenue-supported) were not recomputed: no product was added and no revenue
evidence was produced. D is the company row above, by the existing formula. E: no independent professional appraisal
has been commissioned or completed.
