Open Evidence (optional) when recording a value to say why it is what it is:

  • Add a comparable — a similar item's price, whether it Sold, was an Auction result, or is Asking, with a date and where you saw it.
  • Range — a low and high estimate. A value outside its own range is refused.
  • Confidence — Low — a rough guess, Medium, or High — solid comparables or an appraisal.
  • Appraisal or listing on file — pick a document already attached to the item.

Evidence appears under the value in Value history, and in insurance reports and claims (unless you turn off Show how values were reached). It is what makes your own figure credible to an assessor. See Insurance inventory report.
