Where the data comes from
Every number on lakilé traces back to a primary source. No synthesis, no silent estimation, no repackaging of someone else's analysis.
- Notarized public records — the foundation. Every transaction price we report is anchored to an official, registered sale.
- Live market context — what's listed, what's moving, what's quietly trading. Multi-source, deduplicated, kept current.
- Our proprietary analysis — the work that turns verified records into a clear read on a building or a unit. That part stays under the hood.
Verified vs. inferred
Trust requires knowing which numbers are facts and which are models. Both are labeled.
- Verified — every transaction price, sale date, and notarized inscription we surface comes straight from an official public record. If the record says it, we report it.
- Inferred — building grades, fair-value estimates, and yield projections are computed from verified inputs via proprietary models. They're educated estimates calibrated against real outcomes — not certified appraisals.
- Disclosed — every paid report includes a data-lineage section for the specific building or unit it covers: how many comparables, what time window, what was excluded. You see what the model saw, for your purchase.
How fresh is the data
Real estate data goes stale fast. lakilé refreshes often enough to stay ahead — and flags any number that's still preliminary.
- Always current. By the time you read a report, the inputs behind it have been refreshed.
- Honest about what's settled. Real estate registration takes time; we report on what the record has confirmed, and we say so when a number is preliminary.
- No real-time theater. The promise is simpler: data that's true at the moment you read it, not pretend-live numbers.
Building grades (A–F)
The grade on a building card is a single letter that summarizes how that building behaves in the market. It's a multi-signal composite, calibrated against actual market outcomes.
- Captures market behavior — how the building moves, how prices hold, how easy it is to enter and exit. Built from verified Public Registry inputs plus market-context signals.
- Calibrated against real outcomes, not theory. Grades are tuned so the difference between an A and a C reflects what buyers and sellers actually experience.
- Recomputed continuously as new transactions land. A building's grade is a snapshot of how it's behaving now — not a permanent label.
- Conservative by design. When a building has thin transaction history, the report says so — no overpromising a grade that can't be defended.
How we handle uncertainty
No real estate data is perfect — least of all in markets like Panama where parts of the public record are uneven. lakilé discloses uncertainty per report, not as a public list of issues.
- Every paid report includes a data-lineage section for the specific building it covers: what we included, what we excluded, what fell back to a partial estimate, and why.
- When a building has thin or noisy transaction history, the report says so out loud — we'd rather flag uncertainty than smooth it over.
- When a number is materially affected by registration lag or partial-period coverage, we label it instead of presenting it as final.
- Free reports stay broad-strokes by design; the unit-level disclosure work lives in the paid layer where it's relevant to a specific decision.
What lakilé is not
Boundaries we hold. Knowing the limits is part of the trust.
- Not a licensed appraisal. lakilé fair-value estimates are statistical models built on verified comps — decision-grade for buyers and owners, but a certified avalúo remains the legal instrument.
- Not legal advice. Ownership chains and registry records are surfaced as facts; title issues and regulatory exposure stay with your lawyer.
- Not investment advice. We surface market signals and yield estimates; we don't tell you what to buy.
- Not a brokerage. We don't list properties, we don't take commissions on transactions, we don't represent buyers or sellers in negotiations.
