How Art Is Valued Online: Methodology and Controls
Online valuation methodology should combine standardized intake, transparent evidence logic, and consistent QA controls in every report.
- Normalize intake and validate intended use first.
- Document comparable logic, assumptions, and limitations clearly.
- Run cross-checks for values, labels, and exhibit references before release.
- Why document assumptions? It improves review speed and defensibility.
- How many comparables are needed? Enough relevant ones to justify conclusions clearly.
- Should methodology vary by purpose? Core process is similar; framing differs by use case.
