# Il Valutatore: one sentence, one car · Fornace

> One sentence, and the model finds the exact car in Il Valutatore's catalogue of 308 makes, then prices it from real comparable listings.

# Type "golf variant 2017 2.0 tdi".

People do not know their car's catalogue code. They know it is a Golf Variant, 2017, the 2.0 diesel. That is all they type.

A model reads the sentence and returns make, model, year, month, fuel and engine. It walks Il Valutatore's own catalogue, 308 makes with their models and versions, and stops at the car the person meant.

```log match.log
input      golf variant 2017 2.0 tdi
catalogue  308 makes
match      Golf Variant 2.0 TDI, 2017
next       km, month, condition
```

## The price comes from real cars.

The estimate takes the twenty comparables closest to the car, samples five across the price range, and moves the middle one by kilometres and registration year. Every price on the page stands on those comparables: the page never invents one.
