We examine its application in three critical domains: (1) bank and leasing residual value calculation, (2) insurance claims and total loss determination, and (3) legal disputes over vehicle worth. We further critique the catalog’s lagging responsiveness to supply chain shocks (e.g., COVID-19 semiconductor crisis) and propose a hybrid model integrating real-time transactional data.
