What's inside

Seven outputs.
One acquisition decision. Fully read.

Not aesthetic opinion. Not gallery marketing. A quantitative investment brief — the same read ART-IQ produces for family offices and serious private collectors. Every dimension verified. Every price projection evidenced.

01
Verified 9-Dimension ARS Scorecard
All nine dimensions scored against external data — not self-reported, not estimated from artist statements. Gallery representation tier verified. Auction history pulled from Artnet. Institutional press catalogued. Digital metrics checked. Each dimension marked (ver.) or (est.). ARS total calculated and placed on the five-tier scale with investment implications per tier.
D1–D9 verified
02
Complete Pattern Diagnosis
All nine ART-IQ structural patterns checked against verified data. Each active pattern flagged with evidence and investment implication. P-08 Whisper Graph Activation means entry window is open. P-07 Price Ceiling Trap means correction risk at current price. P-02 Collector Divergence means the arbitrage window is measured in months, not years. Pattern diagnosis is the single most predictive output for timing.

03
Full Secondary Market Analysis
Complete auction history from external sources. Hammer prices against pre-sale estimates for each appearance. Sell-through rate at named houses. Price volatility index. Primary-to-secondary price ratio — if secondary significantly exceeds primary, it signals suppressed demand. Arbitrage window: open, closing, or closed. For artists without auction history: pre-auction positioning and first-appearance catalyst analysis.

Three-Track Price Scenario Model
Base case (60% probability): named catalysts, 12/24/36-month price projections. Bull case (25%): named acceleration trigger, condition required. Bear case (15%): named risk factor, floor defense, recovery timeframe. All projections marked as estimates based on comparable career trajectories. Comp model basis included — two structurally similar career trajectories used as reference, no direct artist named.

05
Hold Horizon + Exit Strategy
Optimal hold duration based on current career stage and identified catalysts. Target exit price range per format. Exit vehicle: private sale, auction consignment, or gallery resale — with rationale. Preferred exit channel with specific house or platform named. Sell early triggers — three specific named conditions. Hold longer signals — two named conditions. Position sizing rule included.

Risk Register
Top risks identified, each rated by severity (H/M/L) and probability (H/M/L), with mitigation strategy. Primary risk factor — the single element most likely to invalidate the investment thesis — stated explicitly. Risks include: gallery relationship downgrade, auction underperformance, documented personal volatility, market saturation, P-07 activation without infrastructure convergence.

★ Exclusive to Collector Mode — Format H
Visual Stabilization · Semantic Drift · Defector Network
Format H is a three-lens narrative analysis that surfaces what standard quantitative scoring misses. It reads the career not as a set of metrics but as a market narrative — and identifies where that narrative is hardening, drifting, or fracturing. The three lenses operate simultaneously and are cross-referenced for signal conflicts.
Visual Stabilization
Is the visual identity locking or dispersing? Tracks consistency of vocabulary across recent work, exhibition to exhibition. A stabilizing identity is approaching the moment where "this is a [name]" becomes a market statement — the most powerful single event in price formation.
Semantic Drift
How is the critical language around this artist migrating? Tracks semantic shift in press, curatorial texts, and collector conversations — from emerging to established, from regional to international, from "interesting" to "important." Drift rate and direction are predictive for institutional validation timing.
Defector Network
Who is moving away — and who is moving toward? Maps the quality of exits from the artist's collector base against the quality of new entries. Defections by serious collectors are an early warning. Convergence by new serious buyers from different geographies is the clearest signal of approaching price acceleration.

Ghanaian · b. 1984 · Painting · Roberts Projects, Los Angeles · ARS 74.2 — Momentum Phase
BASE CASE (~60%): Assumption — Rubell Museum institutional momentum sustains, gallery tier upgrade to Art Basel main sector materializes within 18 months (est.). Floor price today: $180,000 (medium-format oil, 60×48in). 12-month projection: $210,000–$240,000 conditional on Art Basel placement confirmation. 24-month projection: $280,000–$320,000 conditional on first European museum acquisition. 36-month projection: $380,000–$450,000 conditional on sustained sell-through at tier-1 houses.

Format H is a three-lens narrative analysis — Visual Stabilization, Semantic Drift, and Defector Network — that reads the career as a market narrative rather than a set of metrics. It is exclusive to Collector Mode because its primary function is acquisition timing and exit positioning. Artists benefit more from the structural directives in their mode; collectors benefit from the narrative intelligence Format H provides.
All price projections are estimates based on comparable career trajectories — they are not guarantees. Every projection is marked (est.) and includes the specific condition required for it to materialize. The three-track model (base/bull/bear) is designed to give you a range of outcomes with named probabilities, not a single prediction. Art markets are not perfectly predictable — ART-IQ gives you the structural read, not a guarantee.
Yes — one order per artist. For three or more, contact intelligence@artiq.click for bundle pricing. For a full collection analysis including cross-artist comparison, risk mapping, and financial modeling, see the Full Collector Intelligence Suite.
No. ART-IQ intelligence outputs are informational only and do not constitute financial, investment, legal, or professional advice. All price projections are estimates based on comparable career trajectories. Past performance of art assets does not guarantee future results.
