Royalty analysis: benchmark royalty-rate ranges by IP type and industry, adjust a base rate for deal factors, and apply the 25% rule of thumb. Method selects the formula. Use to select and support a royalty rate before a relief-from-royalty or royalty-capitalization valuation. To apply the chosen rate in a valuation use valuation_income_methods (relief_from_royalty) or valuation_market_approach (royalty_capitalization); for transfer-pricing pricing use valuation_compliance. Per method: benchmark needs ip_type + industry (optional: comparable_database); adjust needs base_royalty_rate + adjustment_factors; twenty_five_percent_rule needs licensee_expected_profit (optional: profit_attribution_to_ip). adjustment_factors multiply the base rate, so values above 1.0 raise the rate. Only method is required; all other parameters are method-dependent — supply those the selected method names and omit the rest (defaults apply where defined). Rates and premiums are decimals (0.10 = 10%). Pure arithmetic: no I/O and no external calls, rounded to 2 decimals; parameters belonging to other methods are accepted and ignored. An unknown method, or a missing method-required parameter, returns an error instead of a value.
