Salvage vehicle values,
measured against reality.
Residual estimates what salvage vehicles actually sell for — trained on hundreds of thousands of realized auction outcomes, delivered with the comparable sales behind every number, and checked weekly against real sales the model has never seen.

Why it's different
Trained on realized prices
Not asking prices, not book values, not adjuster opinions — the model learns from what comparable vehicles actually hammered for at auction, with new sales flowing in continuously.
Comparables built in
Every estimate is produced from real comparable sold lots — the same comps an appraiser's report is built on — retrieved as part of the valuation itself, not bolted on afterward.
Every estimate is a range, and 9 out of 10 sales land inside it.
Measured on 74,824 sales the model never trained on, Aug 31–Sep 5, 2026. That's a rate across many estimates, not a guarantee for any one vehicle. How we measure
Who it's for
Independent appraisers
Realized-comp data and valuations by API — the evidence backbone for total-loss and diminished-value work, at a fraction of the time it takes to assemble comps by hand.
Insurers & TPAs
Salvage recovery estimates with a calibrated range — the number a reserve-setting actuary can actually evaluate.
Attorneys
Data-backed market value evidence for total-loss underpayment, diminished value, and bad-faith matters. Flat-fee, methodology in the open.
Free tools
The 17c diminished value calculator computes the insurance-industry formula exactly as published — and explains what it systematically leaves out. No signup, no backend, nothing stored.
