FAQ
Q: What is a third-party guarantee?
A: It’s a pre-arranged bid from an outside party ensuring a minimum price, often with upside sharing.

A: Guarantees can lead to artificial price floors and phantom bidding, distorting real market demand.
Q: How accurate is the tool?
A: It synthesizes current best practices, market logic, and auction dynamics. It’s a strategic model, not a prediction engine.
