A Sourcing Intelligence Briefing
An AI system that helps you source smarter and resell faster — spotting the profit hiding in lots nobody had time to research, and putting a sold-comp valuation in front of you the instant you look at a piece.

The 60-Second Pitch
The hook, the glasses, the agents, the payoff — the whole idea in one minute.
The Opportunity
On the auction floor and online, the window to judge a piece — and decide your maximum bid — closes fast. The best margins hide in the lots nobody had time to research.
The Idea
You look at a piece; the valuation looks back at you — hands-free, in the moment.
Tireless sourcing across marketplaces and estate sales while you sleep.
On the Floor
In-Lens HUD
Glanceable, never in the way — item & confidence, value, resale, profit, and a max bid.
Sourcing Agents
Morning Briefing
1,240 listings checked overnight · 7 deals found
Auto-buy cap: anything under $75 is bought on sight. Above it waits for you.
Inventory Intelligence
Stalled pieces get flagged with a suggested fix — so capital keeps turning instead of gathering dust.
The Hardware
Lightweight AI glasses built to be modified — not a locked-down consumer gadget.
Why Now
Open-source AI glasses are finally light, capable, and affordable.
Modern models can actually identify objects, marks, and materials.
Sold-price history is reachable via API — real comps, on demand.
The Moat
Handles the tedious part — scanning, matching, pricing, drafting. Fast, tireless, never bored.
Judges authenticity, reads hallmarks, weighs provenance. The call software can't make.

Roadmap
Adjacent Markets
Strip away "jewelry" and it's a resale-arbitrage engine — see → identify → value → know your profit. The same loop pays off anywhere an expert eye meets sold-price data.
Authentication is the moat; deep comps (Chrono24).
Grade + melt + auction record — clean math.
Big arbitrage, graded tiers, live sold data.
Near-instant comps (StockX), fast turns.
Provenance-heavy — the trained eye matters most.
Glasses shine: value a whole lot on sight.
