Coverage of providers representing 75-80% of global market share in 2024
Extrapolation using bottom-up (merchant transaction volume × average revenue per transaction × platform penetration rate by country) and top-down (vendor revenue validation, venture capital funding analysis, and public financial disclosures) approaches to derive segment-specific valuations
Cross-validation against total payment processing fees, interchange revenue pools, and merchant acquiring market sizing from industry consortia
