## What each model is worth — in total

Units × average value = model market cap. The two lenses disagree on purpose: the most valuable model on earth is not the most expensive car.

The record

## Every price stands on a ledger

The reference file in public: thirty-seven years of documented F40 results and an indicative survival view pending a chassis census. This is the standard each model file is being brought to.

The method

## Prices that can be defended

Observations

Documented results only

Public auction results, recorded private sales and verified asking prices, each dated, sourced and currency-normalised before it may touch a price.

The spectrum

A range, not a point

Where the record is sufficient, a model file may show a range over comparable sales — with its basis stated.

Confidence

Signalled, never implied

Thin ledgers make wide spectra. Where the record is sparse the figure says so, and the file shows exactly which sales carry it.

Every figure indicative, pending full research — the ledger says which.

The model index

Every documented model as one ledger — A–Z, by era, by country.

The season

The auctions and concours whose results feed this ledger, dated from the organisers.

[The auction calendar](https://hiconium.dev/events?kind=auction)

The standards

The verification rules that decide what may touch a number, in the open.
