How do you compare to a generalist appraiser?

We specialize in AI infrastructure and benchmark against real quotes, contracts and site experience.

Where does your data come from?

Completed resale transactions, not asking prices, for every component in the rack. Updated monthly. Asset managers rely on the Rack Report we publish from it: 600,000+ secondary-market data points.

What does the output look like?

Scoped to your risks: values at key dates, residual curves, and severity-rated findings. USPAP-compliant reports are available on request.

Do you value the rest of the rack?

Yes. Our sale data covers every component: GPUs, CPUs, memory, storage, NICs and switches.

Can you update the values during the loan?

Yes. We mark the collateral monthly or quarterly from the same sale data, for loan-to-value tests, borrowing bases and fund marks.

Do you appraise the data center itself?

No. We check whether the site can keep the equipment running. We do not provide legal opinions, financial due diligence or real estate appraisals.

Appraisals & Due Diligence

What the equipment is worth, whether the site can keep it running, and for how long.

The purchase price is not the collateral value.

We’ve seen the same B300 server quoted at both $460k and $550k. That means advancing 80% at the inflated price, you would have lent close to 100% of what it’s worth.

Additionally, many sites lack the requirements needed to meet the uptime that customer contracts require. This is especially true with retrofitted crypto mines or modular builds. Failure to meet contract requirements could result in forced liquidation or other emergencies.

Check the equipment and the site before you fund.

A third-party report for lenders, lessors and investors, built on proprietary data.

Appraisal and valuation: fair market value (FMV), orderly and forced liquidation values (OLV, FLV), remaining useful life, and residual curves across the term.
Technical due diligence: prices checked against the market; configuration, power and cooling checked against the site and its uptime commitments; refresh costs for operating fleets.
Inspection: on-site equipment verification, plus a facility walk-through.
