A neutral bench that weighs the opportunity and the decision before you commit — it surfaces the assumption a decision rests on, where it breaks, and when no number should be given. Every verdict is board-defensible and fully auditable. The decision stays yours.
Intrinsic value is derived from the company's own data — never its share price. Assumptions are shown before the result; the warning sits above the number.
It orders your assumptions from most fragile to most solid, and shows the smallest change that flips the decision — before the market does.
The output is not buy or sell. It is a documented, underwritten decision: range, assumptions, evidence, risks — ready to defend before a board.
Most tools return a number for every company. Ibn Auf checks first — currency, share basis, company type, model stability — and refuses, routes, or guards the answer when the inputs don't earn one. Pick a case:
Each room opens a stage of the decision — go straight in, or sign in to the portal for the full set.
Your readout room — price, averages, dividends, splits, all in one place. A split can make a price look cheap when nothing changed; the readout shows that. We fetch it; we never invent it.
On upgrade, the actual figures are fetched from public filings and shown here, inside the platform — never an external link.
We fetch this for you — you never leave. When the market is closed it shows the last price and reopening time; on a fault it says so plainly.
Not a prediction — history. The best and worst your window has done over 3 years. Judge if your target is realistic.
Move the price you\u2019re weighing — the engine says how much growth you must believe to justify it.
Scenarios and the reverse check need the live engine and a market feed — they open on upgrade, inside the platform.
Come back tomorrow — or open the markets the free bench can't reach yet.
These are six stages of one engine, not six tools.
Open a case for a company, project or stake. Build on company data, not market noise.
Understand more →Growth, margin, debt, discount rate, multiples — every assumption explicit and editable.
Understand more →The engine asks back: where is the growth from? What breaks the decision first?
Understand more →Every figure tied to a source and a confidence level. Known, assumed, or missing.
Understand more →Not buy or sell — Ready, Needs Review, Insufficient Data, or High Risk.
Understand more →Export a board-ready memo: range, assumptions, risks, evidence, and open questions.
Understand more →What each stage is, what it means, and why it matters.
The functions change with the inputs; the process stays constant — inputs, model, the fragile assumption it rests on, and where it breaks first.
The verdict is a state — Ready, Needs Review, Insufficient Data, or High Risk — that a committee can act on and document. Never buy or sell.
Each input is tied to a source and a confidence level — known, assumed, or missing — so the decision is auditable, not a black box.
Company data, not market noise — verified against an independent second source.
Transparent method — every assumption visible and editable before any result.
The engine reveals which assumption the number rests on, and ranks where it breaks first.
A documented memo — range, assumptions, evidence, risks — ready for the room where it's decided.
From a student learning to read a number, to a sovereign fund governing a decision.
Learn to read a number the Ibn Auf way.
Two ways to enter — your intent sets the scope.
Corporate investing, deals, valuation — opening human services.
Funds and mandates at institutional scale.
For a company: invest, value, weigh deals and assets.
Read a company from its own data, with discipline.
Intrinsic value built from the statements.
Govern portfolio decisions, asset by asset.
Acquisition, merger, liquidation — human review.
Stakes, real estate, non-traded — a field study.
Live data is being connected market by market.
At institutional scale, the question is the governance around the number.
Portfolio and allocation decisions at scale.
Institutional mandates — a managed engagement.
An auditable, tamper-evident decision record.
Sovereign engagements run on isolated data and a dedicated governance chain.
Prices are context, not verdicts. Ibn Auf places the market beside the model — never above it.
Proximity to the decision-maker is the real asset. Ibn Auf is a pass into the room — not just a tool on the desk.
A business community where capability, capital and judgment are organised under one directed interface.
No luck — relationships, skill, position and influence. Professional work that builds standing.
A price is not a verdict. We ask: at this level, what real return is the market assuming — and where does that assumption break?
We place the barrel beside the model, never above it — the question is which assumption the price rests on, not the number itself.
Metals are context for a decision, not the decision. Live values connect through a data provider — the lens stays the same: question, don't anchor.
Move the assumptions and watch the range, the readiness verdict, and what breaks first. A working prototype on a sample company.
Short notes on how decisions are interrogated before they are made.
If most of a number sits in its terminal value, it is a forecast dressed as a fact.
On a highly-levered company, a small change in the cost of debt can flip the whole decision.
A board does not need a buy signal. It needs to know whether the decision is ready to defend.
Ibn Auf is the public identity of I.B.N.A.U.F — an independent framework for making opportunities and governing decisions. It does not trade, sell, or take a side. It is the neutral bench where an opportunity, and the decision built on it, are weighed before commitment — across decision types and markets.
Every decision rests on an assumption. Ibn Auf is built to slow the decision down — to surface the assumption, test the evidence, rank the risk, and say plainly when no number should be given. It does not push toward a transaction, and it does not present value as a single final figure. The decision, and its responsibility, stay with you.
An independent, neutral framework for assessing business decisions and reviewing their readiness to be relied upon.
The ascending bars are value as it is tested and built — in the market, step by step, never in noise. The Arabic wordmark “Ibn Auf” carries the identity; the letters I.B.N.A.U.F carry the framework. Drawn together, the mark states what the platform does.
The name was not chosen first and explained later. The letters came first — a framework for neutral, disciplined decisions — and from them a name appeared: Ibn Auf. We treated it not as ornament but as discovery: a name found in what was already there. That is the platform’s own thesis, lived once before it was built — an opportunity is not handed to you; it is seen, then taken.
An independent framework for making opportunities and governing decisions — educational tiers for all, and a separate licensed layer for institutions.
A human advisory house that enters at board level. Shared core, separate garment — and neutrality is the asset that opens the door.
No position on the client's number, no channel to an interested arm. Neutrality is structural, not a slogan.
Arabic and English from the ground up — built for the Gulf boardroom and the global desk alike.
The platform stands on its own — free of any product it might otherwise be tempted to sell.
Six short lessons in the Ibn Auf way of judging a number.
Educational content only — not investment advice.
Every decision rests on assumptions. Set them here — the bench shows the verdict, and says plainly when the inputs don't earn a number.
The inputs support a defensible range. Submit to open a decision case.
Filter a market by region, size and mode — then let the bench flag where a number can be trusted, and where it cannot.
Opportunities are made and decisions governed across decision types and markets. Available now, or opening as data and method are validated.
Value a company on its own data — not its share price.
Underwrite a target and the price you can defend.
Weigh two sides and the combined case.
Floor value when the decision is to exit.
Test the case for committing new capital.
US-listed first; other exchanges to follow.
What a rate assumes — and where it breaks.
Price as a question, not a verdict.
Real return embedded in the level.
Terms underwritten before commitment.
Where a number can rarely be trusted — said plainly.
Each decision event is hashed and linked to the one before it. Change any record and the chain breaks — so the trail is tamper-evident, and the decision stays defensible.
Nothing is adopted without passing its gate. Each crossing is recorded, producing a visible decision chain from the first question to the final seal.
Builds the analysis and interrogates the assumptions.
Reviews and challenges before raising it.
Decides on a visible chain — never a black box.
Seals it — and the full trace is preserved for review.
From an individual learning to read a number, to a sovereign institution governing a decision.
Ibn Auf opens for individuals, analysts, committees and boards. Tell us where you sit, and we'll match the right depth.

A short-lived shelf — items auto-clear when their timer ends.
A multidisciplinary team across leadership, engineering, governance and research.
Data providers, custodians, advisors and institutions that strengthen the framework.
Open roles will be posted here across engineering, research, governance and design.
The pillars that compute, test and judge — each disclosed, none a black box.

The Mizan: weighs your assumptions against a company’s real history before any number.
Knows when not to give a number — and says so, loudly, rather than guessing.
Public filings and live feeds, fetched server-side and shown in-platform.
A role-and-room permission model so the right person sees the right view.
One layer above the standards.
Standard: the global IVS reference with three approaches (market, income, cost) and new chapters on Data (104) and Documentation (106); for 409A, M&A or litigation an audit-defensible report signed by a credentialed appraiser is required.
Ibn Auf: we build value from the company statements, document every assumption openly and challengeably, and end in a defensible readiness verdict — refusing a number when the data does not earn it. For a signed opinion, a human appraiser steps in.
Standard: institutions codify policy in an Investment Policy Statement (IPS) and screen every holding individually — as the largest sovereign fund now does across its whole portfolio with language models.
Ibn Auf: we read a company from its own data at corporate scope with no speculation, and test each holding data integrity before any verdict.
Standard: disciplined asset allocation, rebalancing, manager selection and operational due diligence, under a board-approved policy.
Ibn Auf: we govern portfolio decisions asset by asset, each judged on its own terms, leaving a defensible record.
Standard: the deal lifecycle (pipeline, diligence, integration) over a secure data room with a full audit trail, structured Q&A and a defensible record (Datasite, Intralinks, iDeals, DealRoom).
Ibn Auf: an integrity-and-record layer over the deal — judging whether its numbers and assumptions deserve trust, and opening independent human review and a records audit.
Standard: real estate and non-traded assets need a field study and records (RICS Red Book with IVS), not a live price.
Ibn Auf: we produce no automated number for a non-traded asset; we open a field study and a records audit and leave a defensible record. Refusing a false number is our integrity.
Standard: governance separating owner (state), board and management, with an investment policy, risk limits, independence and transparency (Santiago Principles, IFSWF).
Ibn Auf: a tamper-evident governance structure with data isolation per mandate; an independent, managed sovereign engagement, not an automated answer.
Every assessment can export a structured memo: the range, the assumptions behind it, the risks, the evidence, and what is still open.
What the assumptions imply — stated as a defensible range, never a single false-precise number.
Every input laid bare, with where it sits against the company’s history.
Where the decision is fragile, and which assumption breaks it first.
The public sources behind the numbers, shown in-platform.
