Editorial policy
These rules bind every page. They are maintained by the Leaselor Data Desk and change only by dated revision on this page.
01Sourcing
Every published figure traces to a named source listed on the page. Primary sources are cited by name and series. Counts and rosters we maintain ourselves are labelled as our own census, manually kept. Nothing is sourced from an unnamed aggregator.
02Provenance labelling
Figures are labelled Observed, Modelled, or Baseline seed. Observed means recorded from the cited series unadjusted. Modelled means derived arithmetically from observed inputs using the published method. Baseline seed means a documented starting estimate awaiting first observation — an order-of-magnitude figure, not a market reading. Any page mixing these shows the key.
03No page without data
A product-by-market page is only indexable when the tier rule allows it and real metrics rows back it. Pages that fail either test render with a provisional banner, carry a noindex directive, and are excluded from the sitemap. We would rather publish fewer pages than publish placeholders at scale.
04Review cadence
Rate observations refresh each business day. The lender census refreshes monthly. Cap-rate and transaction seeds refresh quarterly. Every figure-bearing page shows its last update and next scheduled review, so a stale page is visibly stale.
05Revisions, not deletions
Observations are appended. A corrected value never overwrites the record it replaces; the prior observation stays in the series so any number published in the past can still be reconstructed.
06Sponsorship separation
Sponsors can buy placement. They cannot buy a rate, a ranking, an inclusion in the lender census, or a conclusion. Sponsored placements are labelled in situ, sit outside the editorial column, and are never blended into a table of published figures.
07Independence from transactions
We take no commission, referral fee, or success fee on any transaction. We have no economic interest in which vendor or counterparty you choose.
08Use of automation
Ingestion, arithmetic, and page composition are automated; the method, the inputs, and the review sign-off are human decisions made by the Data Desk. Automation is disclosed rather than hidden, and it never invents a figure that no source supports.
Common questions
Can a firm pay to appear in a published roster?
No. Rosters count firms observed operating in a market. Sponsorship is a separate, labelled placement and has no effect on any count, score, or published figure.
Why does a page say a figure is modelled?
Because no primary source publishes it directly. The figure is derived from observed inputs using the method on the methodology page — the arithmetic is disclosed so you can reproduce or reject it.
Who reviews a page before it changes?
The Data Desk. Method changes are versioned on the methodology page with a dated revision entry; data refreshes follow the published cadence and are stamped on each page.
What happens when Leaselor gets something wrong?
It gets corrected, dated, and logged publicly under the corrections policy. We append the correction rather than quietly editing the original value.
