Every object, every value, every change, on one record.
Steward is the register we built for the work: the record, the values over time, the documents, and who is allowed to see them. We run it for you. If you want it, you run it yourself.
- Every object recorded to the Getty Object ID standard
- Every change attributed and timestamped
- Encrypted in transit and at rest. SOC 2 Type II in progress.
When someone asks what you have, nobody can answer quickly.
The records live across spreadsheets, a legacy database, and an email thread. Values are revisited only when the insurer or the estate forces the question, and every report for a trustee or auditor is assembled by hand. A register closes all three gaps at once.
What the register holds.
Four things, kept true. Everything else Steward does, the quarterly read, the reports, the rails we source appraisals on, runs on top of them.
- 01
The record
Every object, to the Getty Object ID standard: what it is, where it is, who holds it, with the provenance, condition, and fields your practice needs, however many locations and loans it moves through.
- 02
The values, over time
Every appraisal on the object it belongs to, with its date, author, and purpose. Stale values surface on their own, and the quarterly read tells you which to act on first.
- 03
The documents, on the object
Certificates, invoices, conservation records, insurance schedules, legal papers, attached to the record they concern, never in a folder somebody has to remember.
- 04
Access, scoped per person
The advisor, the family, the appraiser, the insurer: each sees what they should and nothing else, with a history of every change and who made it.
The same register, seen from your seat.
One record underneath, three ways of reading it. Each client page describes the outcome; this is where it is kept.
- 01
Coverholders and carriers
The whole book on one roster. Your policyholders keep their schedule current in two minutes a quarter, and you see how insured value is distributed across the book.
Insurance → - 02
Attorneys, trustees, and family offices
One record the estate, the trust, the heirs, and the insurer all work from, with values that carry an author and a date. The matter closes on a register that outlives it.
Wealth management → - 03
Museums, universities, and corporate collections
The collection management system after the working trial: records to standard, the works you lend most valued first, and a register the auditor and the insurer can rely on.

Common questions.
Our records are in bad shape. Where do we start?
That is the most common starting point. We work with whatever you have, run the diagnostic on your files as they are, in your environment, and tell you what is there, what is missing, and what to do first. Cataloguing to standard follows, by our team.
Do we need a licence?
Not for the outcome. The diagnostic, the inventory, the valuations, and the quarterly read arrive without one. Clients who want Steward as their own collection management system license it and run their whole book on it.
Can it hold a collection spread across many places?
Yes. Every object carries its location and a history of every move, across residences, offices, storage facilities, and loans.
Who can see what?
Access is scoped per person: an advisor, a family member, an appraiser, or an insurer sees only what they should. Every change is attributed and timestamped.
Bring us one book, one estate, or one collection.
The first conversation is about what you are responsible for. The register comes after, and most clients never need to log in to it.
