From raw listings to market intelligence

Three layers turn fragmented, inconsistent platform data into a clear picture of what the market is actually doing.

01  —  Monitoring

Continuous monitoring

Automated processes observe active dealership listings across all major platforms — detecting changes in price, availability, and content as they happen, without relying on self-reported feeds.

02  —  Normalization

VIN-level normalization

Platform-aware classification aligns inconsistent source data into a unified VIN-centric model. Every vehicle builds a persistent historical record — continuity preserved even when source systems are inconsistent.

03  —  Intelligence

Behavioral signals

Raw changes become meaning: pricing volatility, inventory aging, stagnation risk, dealer patterns, and market momentum — converted into signals you can act on.

A behavioral map of the market

Not just a list of vehicles — a living record of how inventory moves, prices shift, and dealers behave over time.

Inventory movement

Appearance, disappearance & re-entry

Track when vehicles enter and leave the market, how long they persist, and when they reappear — across dealers and geographies.

Pricing behavior

Volatility, stagnation & timing patterns

Identify price cuts, repeated adjustments, and long-stagnant listings that signal dealer pressure or weak demand.

Vehicle-level memory

Full history for every VIN

Each VIN accumulates a persistent record of every observed state: pricing history, platform presence, content changes, and classification over time.

Dealer intelligence

Behavioral patterns by dealer

Observe how individual dealers manage pricing, inventory churn, and listing strategy — revealing patterns invisible from a single snapshot.

What a signal actually looks like

Signal detected Chicago Metro
2021 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited
⬤  Pressure signal
Day 1 Listed at $38,995 — Highland, IL dealer
Day 8 No change. Listing persists across 3 platforms.
Day 19 Price drops to $37,795 — $1,200 reduction
Same day 2 comparable VINs disappear from nearby markets
ETIMUS flags: Likely dealer pressure on aging unit. Regional supply tightening on comparable trim. Price cut after 19 stagnant days precedes broader market movement — visible here before aggregate reports catch it.
