estimation; valuation; appraisal
Refers to the act of estimating a price or value, often in a business or appraisal context.
I asked an expert for a valuation of the real estate.
It's difficult to estimate the value of this painting.
Compound of 値 (ne, 'price, value') and 積もり (tsumori, 'estimation, intention'), from the verb 積もる (tsumoru, 'to estimate, to calculate'). The reading ねづもり reflects rendaku voicing of つもり to づもり.
