Collectors and appraisals
Collectors are a high-intent user group because they care about provenance, condition, batch, value, storage, and resale. This is where Sniffopotamus can turn personal memory into paid reports without becoming a marketplace.

What a report should contain
- Owner-selected bottles only.
- Brand, fragrance, concentration, size, batch/year when available.
- Confidence tier for every identity match.
- Source-backed notes and variant metadata.
- Condition fields: fill level, packaging, age, storage, photos.
- Estimated replacement/resale range once data is strong enough.
- Clear disclaimer that the report is a data-backed estimate, not a legal valuation unless reviewed by a qualified human partner.
Build dependencies

- Report template generation.
- Stripe one-off payment path.
