Each table is produced by one named query in src/lib/figures.ts: the reporting threshold by marketMonthGate, coverage by sector by marketMonthSectorCounts, deal-type mix by marketMonthDealTypeMix, disclosed-price sales by marketMonthPricedSales, square footage by marketMonthLargestBySqft, outlets by marketMonthOutletShare and firm mentions by marketMonthFirmMentions. The month window comes from monthBoundsUtc, America/New York.
Excluded from the priced tables: headlines that state more than one distinct money figure, non-USD amounts, per-unit or per-square-foot prices, rows suppressed by the relevance gate, and duplicate reports of the same deal (same market, value within one percent, published within a week), which are folded into one row with the other outlets listed beneath it.
Excluded from every table on this page: 0 headlines the wire’s tagger assigned to this market whose headline names a different state, market or city (the tagger reads the story excerpt, so a firm’s home city can mis-tag a deal elsewhere). The rule is hasLocationConflict in the same file, applied before counting.
No figure on this page is produced by a language model. The editor’s note, where present, is written by a person and contains no numbers. Summed deal volume, per-firm deal credit, market share, cap rates and price-per-square-foot medians are deliberately not published: the corpus is a sample of what named outlets chose to report, not the market.
