Factor breakdown
Open any factor to see what it means and which evidence supports it.
Collector quality and evidence are separate. Structural collector factors carry 75%; observable market factors carry 25%.
Methodology & score historyPublication gates
• No coherent sold-price benchmark is available.
• Needs at least 2 comparable sold observations inside the 120-month market window.
• Needs at least two independent source providers in the benchmark window.
• Needs at least two comparable sales in the last 24 months.
• Data Confidence must reach at least 68/100.
Rationale
• Scarcity uses a conservative production base of approximately 64 vehicles.
• Listing-supply coverage is not yet sufficient, so Supply Dynamics remains unscored and Data Confidence is capped.
• Collector Evidence G contributes source-backed structural evidence from 7 independent sources; it does not substitute for transaction evidence.
• SCI 1.5 separates structural collectibility from evidence confidence: scarcity, collector significance and future relevance carry 75% of SCI; observable market factors carry 25%. Thin public-market evidence primarily reduces Confidence rather than intrinsic collector quality.
• Uncovered factors retain conservative neutral priors in the score model while their missing support remains visible in factor coverage and Evidence Confidence; they are never presented as equally evidenced facts.
• SCI 1.5 migration guard limits unsupported downward changes to 3 points and weak-intrinsic-coverage upward changes to 5 points during the September 2026 transition window. Evidence-backed halo sanity floors require all three structural factors to be covered.
