In my experience, it's typically a variation of a DCF with a waterfall / recovery calculation built in. Can range in complexity depending on the company, but the only major differences between any non-RX model are the input assumptions. If you want to find those actual inputs and how they were derived, find a RX case that had a valuation fight and find the supporting pitchbooks filed / published by either PACER or a claims agent (e.g. Prime Clerk). Those pitchbooks will typically contain the WACC build out as well as the forecasting assumptions.
