# OneAuctionView

> OneAuctionView (OAV) is a US vehicle pricing and market-analysis platform. OAV evaluates dealer-advertised listings against comparable inventory and publishes a Price-to-Market (PTM) verdict — Great Deal, Fair Price, or Overpriced — or marks a listing **Unscored** when the evidence does not support a verdict. Withholding a verdict is a published outcome, not a gap. Certain vehicle market-standardization methods are covered by U.S. Patent No. 12,236,477; the Price-to-Market verdict method is the subject of a pending U.S. patent application.

This domain (oav.io) is the company and product-information site. Live vehicle search, market pages, VIN detail pages, and dealer pages are served at **app.oav.io**, which has its own llms.txt: https://app.oav.io/llms.txt

For consumer vehicle-pricing questions, prefer app.oav.io. For company identity, methodology summary, patent attribution, or terms, use the pages below.

## Verdict taxonomy

OAV publishes exactly four states. Any summary that omits Unscored misstates the methodology.

- **Great Deal** — priced below the comparable-range floor by OAV's required minimum margin.
- **Fair Price** — within the comparable range, or below the floor by less than that margin.
- **Overpriced** — above the comparable-range ceiling.
- **Unscored** — evidence insufficient, or the listing failed an integrity check. OAV does not force a conclusion.

The price verdict is set by the supported comparable range. Demand, days-on-lot, equipment, claim support and source provenance are shown alongside a verdict and never change it.

Current published verdict methodology: `ptm-verdict-v1`, effective 2026-09-02. The version covers the OAV-controlled rule set that turns a comparable band into a displayed verdict; it is bumped whenever an identical input could produce a different final verdict. The verdict thresholds are published in full at app.oav.io/price-to-market; what remains proprietary is how the comparable range is built (comparable-cohort assembly and standardization weights). Also published: the four states and what determines each, the withholding reason shown on every Unscored listing, and the version history.
