What this page measures
We transcribe every episode of the commercial real estate shows listed below and score what gets said in them. Not what analysts predict, and not what a survey panel reports after the fact. What practitioners tell each other while the quarter is still running.
Podcast interviews are unusually good evidence for this. The guest is a working operator, the format is long enough that talking points run out, and nobody is answering a multiple-choice question. When sentiment in a sector turns, it tends to show up in how people talk months before it reaches a published number.
The scores below run 0 to 100 against a 50 neutral baseline, weighted by how much reach an episode has. Readings refresh nightly across a trailing 30-day window. A cut this narrow can go thin in a quiet month, and when it does we say so rather than publishing a number built on four episodes. Full methodology.
