Everything in the platform

What the Workbench Actually Does

Twenty-odd modules, grouped by the job they do. Nothing here is a roadmap item — every one of these is in the product today, and each entry says plainly what it does and why it works that way.

The Yacht Industry Intel dashboard: total listings, for sale, average asking price, items needing review and open risks, with a risk overview and stale-record list.

Every screen below is the live product, not a mock-up.

01 — Market & Listings

Knowing What Is On The Market, And What Changed

The core record: every tracked yacht, what it is asking, who has the mandate, and how stale that knowledge is. The last part matters most — a price you cannot date is not intelligence.

Live Yacht Database

Core

A maintained profile per yacht — specs, asking price, brokerage, central agent, location and status — filterable across every field and exportable in full.

  • Freshness tiers from the last verified snapshot: Fresh, Current, Usable, Historical, Archive
  • Projected days-on-market that keeps accruing from the last snapshot instead of resetting
  • Verification badges when a price or status is old enough to need re-checking
  • Data-quality grade and a stress score combining age, reduction history and flags
  • Column picker over every imported field, with the choice remembered per user

Every derived number is computed on read from the underlying facts, never stored. It cannot drift away from the evidence it came from.

Yacht Listings: 4,201 tracked yachts with builder, length, year, asking price and days on market, filterable by builder, status and size band.

Automated Listing Scanner

Collection

Scans the public "yachts for sale" pages of Fraser, IYC, Camper & Nicholsons, Northrop & Johnson, SuperYacht Times and Smart Yachts Monaco for anything 30 m and above.

  • Confidence-scored matching against yachts you already hold, on name plus specs
  • A high-confidence match applies itself; anything ambiguous waits for a one-click decision
  • Same boat listed by three brokerages becomes one queue entry, with the co-brokerage recorded
  • Allowlisted public pages only, every result graded for source reliability

Two yachts can genuinely share a name — this database holds three distinct vessels called Maverick. Matching therefore checks length and build year too, and refuses to merge on a name alone.

Listing Scanner: six brokerage sources with pending counts and last scan time, Status Reconciliation, and a pending listing awaiting approval.

Status Reconciliation

Collection

Re-reads listings you have seen before to catch what quietly changed: a price cut, a move to under-offer, a withdrawal. One button on the listings page brings the whole fleet up to date.

  • Applies confident changes immediately, with source, timestamp and confidence retained
  • Reports exactly which yachts moved and from what to what
  • New, unmatched listings still go to the review queue — nothing is asserted unreviewed

Price Updates

History

The full price history of every yacht: what it was, what it became, when, and on whose authority.

  • Each change carries its source — a listing scan URL, a news article, or a named person
  • Nothing is overwritten; a correction is a new entry, not a silent edit
  • Feeds price-discipline metrics, the advisory clearing range and the market charts

One real price change is one event, however many sources report it. A scan, a news article and a manual entry describing the same move are recognised as the same thing — otherwise every metric counting price updates would be inflated by duplicates.

News

Collection

Industry news collected automatically and classified by AI into a dozen categories — new launches, used sales, new orders, appointments, price drops, broker changes, M&A, legal and compliance, and more.

  • Every article tagged with the yachts, brokers and builders it names
  • Price-drop articles feed straight into a yacht's price history
  • On-demand "Search Now" alongside the scheduled pass
  • A "last checked" stamp so freshness is never guesswork
News: industry articles auto-classified into categories such as Price Drops and Used Sales, each tagged with the yachts, brokers and builders it names.

CA Appointments

History

Central-agency mandates between yachts and brokerages, tracked across the fleet — who held which boat, over which period, and how it ended.

  • Mandate history per yacht, searchable by party, brokerage, builder, IMO or country
  • Company and individual parties held separately, because both appear on real mandates
  • Feeds the sell-through and mandate-retention figures in Broker Intelligence
CA Appointments: 2,000 central-agency mandates across 293 brokerages and 845 yachts, with party, brokerage, start date, type and status.

Events

Collection

Boat shows and industry events as a deal radar rather than a calendar: who exhibited, which yachts were shown, and what is worth following up.

  • Exhibitors, yachts and brokerages linked to each event
  • AI-assisted enrichment of an event's participants, with a last-searched stamp
  • Follow-up state per event, and a filter for the ones still needing a decision
  • Shared attendance is what the buyer-intent warm-path finder reads
Events: the Cannes Yachting Festival 2026 with 12 yachts, 47 exhibitors and 6 brokerages linked, filterable by timing, category and follow-up state.
02 — Broker Intelligence

Which Brokerage Should Hold This Mandate?

Performance measured against a comparable segment rather than in the abstract — a 40 m Mediterranean specialist should not be judged against a firm selling 90 m explorers.

Performance Snapshot

Analysis

Filter the whole market by builder, region, type, price band, days-on-market or status, then benchmark one brokerage — or one individual broker — against exactly that segment.

  • Volume, sold count and sell-through rate
  • Median and percentile days-on-market, plus the share of stale inventory
  • Price discipline: how far and how often a listing gets reduced, and how quickly
  • Size mix, top builders and current active inventory value
  • New-listing, central-agency and co-brokerage filters

Distributions, not just averages. A handful of multi-year-stale listings drags an average days-on-market into meaninglessness, so the median and percentiles are shown first — and the number of listings behind every figure is always visible.

Broker Intelligence roster: 676 brokerages with total, active and sold counts, sell-through rate and median days-on-market for active and sold listings.

Broker & Builder Directories

Reference

Every broker and builder active in the tracked market, with their listings, relationships and history attached.

  • Broker-to-brokerage relationships over time
  • Builder output and the yachts attributed to each yard

Market Reports

Analysis

Aggregate analytics across segments, builders and regions, exportable to XLSX or PDF.

  • Listings by builder and by status, average price trend by month
  • Every money figure converted to one currency before it is combined
03 — Ownership, Risk & Compliance

Who Is Behind The Vessel, And Can You Deal With Them?

The part of a transaction that goes wrong slowly and then all at once. Everything here is evidence-led: a finding is a claim with a source attached until a person confirms it.

Ownership & UBO Research

Research

Public-source research into beneficial ownership, run per yacht or per owner, returning claims rather than conclusions.

  • Every claim carries its source URL, an excerpt and a reliability grade
  • Findings land in a review queue — nothing is asserted into the record automatically
  • Consolidated owner profiles across a whole fleet and ownership history

Four-eyes by construction. The research assistant proposes; a person disposes. That is the difference between intelligence you can put in front of a client and a scraped guess.

Intelligence Review Queue: ownership claims with evidence grade and tier, each awaiting Confirm or Reject.

Ownership Chains & Opacity Scoring

Analysis

Maps the corporate layers between a vessel and the person who ultimately benefits, and scores how opaque that structure is.

  • Chain length and whether a beneficial owner is visible at all
  • An opaque structure raises a risk flag automatically, and clears it when it stops being opaque

Entity Checker

Compliance

Screens any individual or company against sanctions exposure, adverse media and ownership red flags before a deal moves.

  • Matches across yachts, owners, entities and brokers, with confidence per hit
  • Connected parties surfaced through the relationship graph, not just the direct name
  • Every check logged — what was asked, when, and by whom

Risk Flags

Compliance

Graded flags on yachts and entities, folded into a single overall risk verdict per subject.

  • A flag on a linked entity propagates to every yacht it touches
  • Worst open flag decides the verdict — blocked, high risk, watch, review or clear
  • Computed server-side so a client cannot present a friendlier answer than the evidence supports

Your risk assessments are your firm's own position, not a fact about the market — so they stay private to your workspace even though the yacht they point at is shared.

04 — Buyers & Demand

Who Is Actually In The Market Right Now

Prospecting driven by observable signals rather than a feeling about who might be interested.

Buyer Intent

Prospecting

Scores how likely a person or company is to be in-market, from evidence gathered across news, events and ownership activity.

  • Three separate scores: intent, evidence confidence, and a qualification band
  • Signals decay with age — a two-year-old sighting does not count like last week's
  • Counter-signals (an industry professional, a recent purchase) gate qualification outright
  • Warm-path finder: which subjects share an event or an article with your target

Evidence confidence is deliberately separate from intent. A high score from one weak source should not read the same as a high score from four independent ones.

Buyers & Matching

Prospecting

Buyer profiles with budget, size, builder and year criteria, scored against live inventory.

  • Every criterion a buyer states contributes an equal share of the match score
  • Criteria left blank are excluded from the calculation rather than counted as a miss

Upgrade Candidates

Prospecting

Owners whose current vessel, holding period and market position suggest they are due to move up.

05 — Advisory Output

Something You Can Put In Front Of A Client

The end of the workflow: a document that holds up when someone asks where a number came from.

Advisory Report Builder

Deliverable

A print-ready two-page advisory PDF for a buyer or seller mandate, built from comparables and the subject vessel's own record.

  • Deterministic leverage score and exit-risk score, each with its drivers spelled out
  • Clearing range derived from comparable price-per-GT percentiles
  • Deal parameters: walk-away, target and opening figures on a stated formula
  • Every figure marked FACT or ASSUMPTION, so nothing borrowed is mistaken for something known

If the comparables are too thin or too scattered to support a range, the report says so and suppresses the figure rather than printing a number that looks authoritative and is not.

Advisory Report Builder: vessel and listing inputs on the left, computed metrics including clearing range on the right, with export blocked until three comparables exist.

Listing Quality Checker

Quality

Grades a listing's completeness and internal consistency before it reaches a client-facing document.

  • Missing identifiers, absent length or price, stale pricing, contradictory status
  • A score you can reconstruct: every deduction is itemised
Listing Quality Checker: a graded checklist for one yacht showing critical, warning, info and passed findings against its stored fields.

Data Import

Quality

Bulk import of yachts, price updates, CA appointments, buyers and owners from CSV or Excel.

  • Recognises the column names real export reports actually use
  • A blank cell never wipes a value you already hold
  • Re-importing the same file updates rather than duplicates
  • Failed rows are reported with the reason, not silently dropped
06 — Platform

How It Behaves When Nobody Is Watching

The parts you notice only when they are missing.

Automation & Daily Digest

Platform

Collection and reconciliation run on a schedule, and a "What Changed" view answers the question you actually have after a day away.

  • Price changes, auto-applied listings, new items awaiting review, news collected
  • Standing to-dos shown without a time filter — what was queued three weeks ago still needs deciding
  • Every run recorded with its outcome, including failures

Multi-Currency

Platform

The fleet is priced in euros, dollars and sterling. Anything that compares or combines those converts first.

  • ECB reference rates, refreshed on demand or on a schedule
  • A converted figure is marked and names the rate and date behind it
  • A quoted price is never silently relabelled with a different symbol

Workspaces & Team

Platform

Your firm gets its own workspace. Market data is shared across subscribers; your client work is partitioned at the database level.

  • Roles: admin, advisor, analyst and read-only partner access
  • An automated check refuses to ship code where a confidential query is unscoped

Data Protection

Platform

The platform holds personal data about identifiable people, so it ships with the tools to answer for it.

  • Subject access: everything held about one person, each part with its provenance
  • Erasure, with the name added to a do-not-process list so a later scan cannot reinstate them
  • Retention: research snapshots expire on a schedule you set
  • Workspace export in one file, whenever you want it

Deleting someone is not enough on its own. If the next scan rediscovers them from the same public page, nothing was honoured — which is why erasure and suppression are one action here, not two.
