Software and data for scarce physical assets
The record is the asset.
Cabinet builds the systems that identify, document, value, and track objects that markets treat as one of a kind.
- Identification
- Issue, date, mint mark, die variety
- Condition
- Assigned grade, certification number, surface notes
- Provenance
- Auction appearances, collection pedigree, catalogue citations
- Market
- Comparable results by grade, current bids and asks
- Custody
- Storage location, insurance schedule, holding entity
The problem
A coin, a watch, and a case of Bordeaux have almost nothing in common as objects.
As assets they share one problem: what they are worth depends on what can be proven about them.
Grade, originality, provenance, storage, and sale history carry the value. That evidence exists, but it is scattered across certificates, invoices, email threads, and the memory of whoever handled the object last. Cabinet gives it one structure, so a collection can be read the way a portfolio is read.
What we build
Identify
Know what it is
Establish an object's identity and check whether its documentation holds up. Reference data, third-party certification, and sale history in one place instead of five.
Value
Read the market
Follow what comparable objects actually trade for across auction and dealer markets, so a holding has a current market view rather than a number from an old report.
Track
Hold the record
Condition, service, storage, insurance, and ownership, kept over time. The collection stays legible to the owner and to the people who advise them.
Position
Cabinet is a technology company. It does not buy or sell the objects it covers.
We are not a dealer, an auction house, or a marketplace, and we take no side in a transaction. Our work is the record and the intelligence built on top of it, for collectors and the advisors, family offices, and insurers who work with them.
Contact
Cabinet is in build.
If you hold, advise on, insure, or write about scarce assets, we would like to hear how you keep track of them today.
