How the Crestimate works

The Crestimate is an automated, data-driven estimate of an animal's market value. It is not an appraisal and should be treated as a directional benchmark, not a quote.

What goes in

• Species, breed, sex, age, and location from the animal profile.
• Comparable sales from Creatures and public auction data, with closer matches ranked first.
• Optional details such as color, registration, and the profile description add context.

How it's generated

Four independent valuation models analyze the input in parallel. A senior reviewer model then reconciles their outputs into a single pinpoint estimate, an expected range, and a confidence rating.

Confidence ratings

High

Strong agreement across models with ample comparable sales.

Moderate

Reasonable agreement; some inputs are missing or comps are sparse.

Low

Limited data, wide range, or model disagreement.

Insufficient

Not enough data for a reliable valuation. The estimate is directional only.

Privacy

The full Crestimate, including its reasoning and comparable sales, stays private to the animal's team and Creatures admins. Public visitors see a compact summary only after an owner or co-owner turns on the Visibility switch.

Crestimate is provided as-is, without warranty. It does not constitute an offer, recommendation, or appraisal.
