Methodology

Where the data comes from

Market prices and transaction volumes come from dated market reports and clearly scoped listing snapshots. Residency and legal thresholds come from official government sources. Developer pages may also use official project material, archived pages, dated press reporting, property portals and buyer reviews; those categories are displayed separately rather than treated as equal evidence.

Source hierarchy

For legal rules and ownership facts, official government records control. For original handover promises, an archived official page or dated launch announcement is strongest. Current status may come from an official update, a public record or credible reporting. Property portals can document what was advertised at a point in time but are not treated as public records. Buyer reviews are leads to investigate, never verified findings.

Outbound link attributes describe our relationship with a source, not whether a claim is true. Public records, archived official pages, official sources, market reports and editorial reporting use normal crawlable links. Commercial property portals, directories and operating listings use nofollow. Buyer-review links use ugc nofollow. Any paid outbound placement must use sponsored nofollow.

The Batumi Delivery Index

For each tracked developer we record the best available evidence for the original handover promise and the later delivery or current status. A numeric delay is published only when both sides of that comparison are sufficiently documented. Status-only rows, approximate secondary reports and buyer complaints stay visible but are labelled and excluded from the score.

Cadence and corrections

The Market Monitor follows source releases rather than pretending to be a live feed. Each snapshot shows its data month, source and freshness status; missing months are left as gaps, never estimated. Project and developer profiles are reviewed when material evidence changes. When we get something wrong, we fix it in place and note the correction. Spotted an error? Send it to us.
