Research before the room
Auction Intelligence supports the work that happens between a catalogue release and a bidding decision. It helps researchers screen large sales, identify relevant lots, organize comparable results, and document the reasoning behind an estimate.
The system is being shaped around categories where condition, provenance, maker attribution, rarity, and market timing interact: fine art, antiques, collectible design, and watches.
Assistance without false certainty
Automated extraction and ranking can accelerate review, but valuation still depends on expert judgment. The workflow keeps source material visible, marks uncertain fields, and distinguishes an observed sale result from an inferred comparison.
Instead of producing a single opaque score, it assembles an auditable research record: catalogue evidence, comparable lots, adjustments, open questions, and a working valuation range.
Current direction
The first prototype concentrates on lot normalization, relevance screening, comparable-sale retrieval, and concise research briefs for human review.
