Unified Estimator
One feature combining Rate Estimator and Cost of Business into a single, summary-first workflow.
Methodology (Analyst View)
Unified Mid ≈ weighted average(rate mid, cost mid) using confidence-derived weights with a rate-model preference.
The Unified Estimator produces a blended $/SF signal by reconciling two independent models: a market-and-comps rate model and a cost-of-business model.
- Rate model: combines market trend rent signals and active listing comp distributions (median, P25/P75) for the selected asset and transaction type.
- Cost model: estimates a supportable occupancy rate using wage, utilities, taxes, and tier fallback logic when comp density is thin.
- Unified output: applies confidence-weighted, rate-first blending and reports mid with an uncertainty band when source scales are coherent.
- Interpretation: treat as an initial pricing prior for screening and scenario analysis; validate against submarket micro-comps, concessions, TI/LC assumptions, and deal-specific underwriting.
