warning Known Limitations
- • Model trained primarily on Latin American markets (60% Mexico). Accuracy may vary in underrepresented regions.
- • Forecasts assume stable macroeconomic conditions. Extreme events (recession, policy changes) are not modeled.
- • Limited to properties with sufficient comparable data. New-build or unique properties may have lower confidence.
- • 12-month horizon is primary target. 36-60 month forecasts have wider confidence intervals.
- • Satellite and image features are experimental and may not be available for all properties.
balance Ethical Considerations
- • Fairness audits performed quarterly across regional subgroups. Worst-group ΔFPR: 0.07 (target < 0.1).
- • No protected attributes (race, gender, religion) are used as model features.
- • Confidence tiers ensure low-confidence predictions are flagged for human review.
- • All forecasts are marked as "analytical estimates, not investment advice" in user-facing text.
- • Data privacy: GDPR compliant. No personal data used in training without consent.
