Evidence spine

One property.
Many pieces of evidence.

Public records give the structure. Repeated market observations show change. Identity is joined only when the evidence is strong enough.

Loaded evidence sources

Counts, dates, geography and original publishers.

Counts overlap. They describe records and observations, not a single total number of UK homes.

Working standard

Evidence before estimates.

Every published number carries a definition, a date and a boundary around what it cannot prove.

Read the full method
  1. 01
    Observe

    Record what a source actually shows, with place and time attached.

  2. 02
    Normalise

    Make dates, prices, geography and property attributes comparable.

  3. 03
    Join carefully

    Keep possible matches separate until location, imagery or attributes provide enough proof.

  4. 04
    Show the gaps

    Publish sample size and limitations instead of disguising uncertainty as precision.
