Pharrell Williams Humanrace Case Study
Application of the model demonstrated remarkable accuracy during the Q3 2022 Humanrace drop:
- Detected 42% faster Instagram engagement decay compared to previous collections by day 7
- Identified secondary market premium erosion
- Triggered sell alerts when resale premiums hit 187% of retail - proven optimal by historical data
- Resulted in 23% higher realized profits vs hold-until-sold participants
The Hype Attenuation Algorithm
Kakaobuy's machine learning module processes historical collaboration data to generate IP decay curves with three critical phases:
Phase | Duration | Key Actions |
---|---|---|
Appreciation | 0-14 days | Strategic accumulation period |
Plateau | 15-38 days | Partial liquidation (40-60% inventory) |
Decline | 39+ days | Aggressive exit protocols |
