Vehicle value - Clear Evidence. Defensible Opinions.
PROTELLIGENCE is an independent vehicle valuation and litigation consulting practice serving attorneys, insurers, claims professionals, fleets, dealership groups, financial institutions, and vehicle owners in disputes — nationwide. Every figure we produce is documented, reproducible, and prepared for the record.
Five disciplines. One documentary standard.
Each engagement is scoped in writing, supported by verifiable market data, and delivered in a format built for negotiation, mediation, or the courtroom.
Total-Loss Valuation Disputes
Independent determination of actual cash value when a settlement figure is contested — with every comparable, adjustment, and source documented so the number can be tested, not merely asserted.
REF TL-01Expert Reports & Testimony
Written opinions structured for admissibility, with deposition and trial testimony available. The report is built so that the analysis — not the author's confidence — carries the weight.
REF EX-03Insurance Claim & CCC One / Mitchell Review
Line-by-line audit of carrier valuation reports: comparable selection, condition adjustments, and methodology examined against the market record, with findings set out plainly.
REF CR-05Estate, Bankruptcy & Divorce Valuation
Neutral valuations for vehicles and collections where courts, trustees, or opposing parties require an independent figure — dated, documented, and defensible.
REF FV-04Diminished-Value Claims
Quantifying the market penalty a vehicle carries after repair: a disciplined pre-loss versus post-repair analysis grounded in observable market behavior rather than formula shortcuts.
REF DV-02A fixed sequence, from conflict check to the witness stand.
Conflict Check
Parties, carriers, and counsel are screened before any substantive discussion. Independence is confirmed first or the engagement does not proceed.
Records & Data Intake
Valuation reports, repair records, photographs, and title history are catalogued into a single documented case file.
Valuation Analysis
Market data is gathered, comparables vetted, and adjustments applied under a transparent, reproducible methodology.
Defensible Report
Findings are issued in a written report that states its data, its reasoning, and its limits — nothing left to inference.
Testimony Support
Where matters proceed, the analysis is defended at deposition or trial, consistent with the written record.
Retained on either side of the caption.
The methodology does not change with the client. The same standards apply whether the engagement originates with plaintiff's counsel, a carrier, or an owner in dispute.
Why counsel keeps the number.
Independent & Conflict-Checked
No carrier contracts, no repair-network affiliations, no stake in the outcome. Every engagement clears a conflict check before work begins, so the opinion belongs to the evidence alone.
Transparent & Reproducible
Comparables, adjustments, and sources are stated in full. A qualified reviewer following the same data should reach the same figure — that is the test every report is built to pass.
One Point of Accountability
The analyst who signs the report is the one who takes your calls, sits for deposition, and answers for the work. Nothing is delegated into anonymity.
