Provenance graph as the anti-fraud layer for classic cars
Chassis numbers, race history, ownership, restorations — one connected graph. Fakes fall apart the moment you can see the whole web.
The premise: high-value classics are a fraud magnet because provenance lives in shoeboxes and trust.
Model every car as a node: chassis number, documented race history, owners, restorations, parts swaps. Connect them. A ‘matching-numbers’ claim that contradicts the graph lights up instantly.
Why the brain fits: it’s already an entity graph with cars, races, people and eras as first-class citizens. This is a lens, not a new system.
Steal it. The auction houses won’t build it; they benefit from the fog.
