    The EU-funded ENIGMA project develops innovative methods and tools to enhance cultural heritage safeguarding, protection, and provenance management, specifically targeting the illicit trafficking of cultural goods. This paper presents two initial pilot case studies that evaluate and validate the project's developments. Pilot Case 1 focuses on novel documentation of museum items using the Unique Authenticity Identifier to improve traceability. Pilot Case 2 investigates the identification and tracking of unregistered cultural goods by employing advanced technologies and AI to uncover connections with known inventoried objects. The pilots scrutinize operational scenarios, user profiles, and initial object selection consisting of figurines from the Royal Museums of Art and History (KMKG). Preliminary findings suggest ENIGMA tools demonstrate their potential as a prototype solution, with resilient and adaptable workflows for various user groups. Future work includes integrating the complete tool suite into the ENIGMA Decision Support Platform and implementing further pilot cases.
