A represented source entry is one generated portal key; entries are not consolidated into unique publishers. A source entry is assigned to a country cohort by its dominant market, so its total is not a country-filtered national count. A row is not a unique property or a completed transaction.","country_assignment":"Country cohorts use each source's dominant market, so a source total can include rows outside that country.","city_scope":"The city catalogue filters active rows to the country and then groups them by the market's city or municipality field. Catalogue admission and selection of up to 60 cities use full active-row totals; the research tables rank cities and apply their 5,000-row study gate using sums across only the seven normalized listing-type buckets. Markets normally need at least 5,000 full rows and three clean places; cities normally need at least 300 full rows. A city in a reviewed Search Console demand cohort in Bosnia can enter with at least 20 full rows. This is a selected city sample, not national inventory.","price_interpretation":"Asking prices are advertisements, not completed transaction prices.","price_medians_published":false,"publication_gate":"The route is published so the framework and evidence status remain visible.
