contents We present a numerical method for extrapolating polarizability measurements to dc as done in the assessment of blackbody radiation shifts for ion-based clocks. The method explicitly accounts for the frequency dependence of relevant atomic transitions without introducing an ad hoc modelling function. It incorporates \emph{a priori} atomic structure calculations, which allows measurements to be augmented by calculations if there is insufficient data to make a purely measurement based estimate. The method also provides indicators of inconsistencies between theory and experiment or inadequacies of the data for making an extrapolation. We use results from Al$^+$, Lu$^+$, and Yb$^+$ to illustrate features of the method.
