Job to be done
When a nonprofit receives a large in-kind donation with no sales receipts and must document it under GAAP, staff need a credible fair market value for each item without hours of manual sorting, photographing, and pricing, so they can report the donation accurately and keep front-desk work moving.

What to build
A credible fair market value for GAAP reporting needs a human appraiser's signed valuation, so a done-for-you service fits better than software.
