Questions, answered
What is MADE CX?
MADE CX is the Cultural Exchange that turns cultural IP into market liquidity. madecx.info is its research desk — valuations, ownership research, and reporting on culture as an asset class. Register and protect a work at made.cx.
What is CPRS (the Cultural Property Rights Standard)?
CPRS is MADE CX's proprietary methodology for valuing cultural property across five dimensions. It is not accredited or recognized by any government body or standards organization, and CPRS valuations are editorial estimates, not appraisals.
What does a dollar-sign ticker like $CULTURE or $LEBRON mean?
It's an editorial designation naming a cultural asset under analysis. It is not a security, digital asset, token, fund, or tradeable instrument, and it implies no affiliation with or endorsement by any named person.
How do I register or protect a work?
Register cultural property at made.cx. Registration establishes a defensible record of origin, authorship, and rights for licensing and provenance.
Is claiming a ticker free?
Yes — claiming a ticker is free; the ticker is your identity on the exchange. Claim yours at made.cx.
How do you value cultural property with no comparable sales?
CPRS scores a work across cultural influence, consumer conversion, likeness and identity, commercial usage, and heritage and lineage, then applies a demand coefficient. Each published valuation adds to a growing public comparable set — the way a comp database beats any single appraisal.
