Editorial methodology

How we compile, cite, and maintain this site.

Everything on Bali Villa Select is editorial analysis. This page documents the standards we hold ourselves to – what we source, how we cite, what we refresh, and how we distinguish real-time reporting from retrospective compilation.

Source tiers

We prioritize primary government and institutional data over secondary commentary. The source tiers we use:

Tier 1 – Primary official

Tier 2 – Institutional industry

Tier 3 – Observed market

Direct observation from our editorial desk: partner-agency transaction data, public listing platform prices, local press reports (Jakarta Post, Bali Discovery, Coconuts Bali). We mark these explicitly in-article when we rely on them and cross-check against Tier 1 or Tier 2 wherever possible.

Citation rules

Every article follows these rules:

  • Minimum three named external citations per piece, linked inline with rel="noopener" and full attribution in the Sources block at article end.
  • Factual claims that are not common knowledge get a citation to a named source. "Portugal ended its Golden Visa real-estate route in 2023" is cited to Reuters; "Nusa Dua is an ITDC-managed zone" is cited to ITDC.
  • Market estimates (yield ranges, price bands) are presented as ranges, not point estimates, and the rationale is stated.
  • Where we extrapolate or project, we label it as an editorial view rather than cited fact.

Real-time vs retrospective framing

We distinguish between analysis written in real time (our regular comparison and framework articles) and retrospective compilation (our market archive – quarterly and annual reviews compiled from public data at a later date). Retrospective pieces always carry a visible banner noting the period they cover and the date on which they were compiled. This preserves editorial integrity and distinguishes reporting from archival synthesis.

Refresh schedule

  • Comparison articles: refreshed every 6 months or when a material regulatory or market event warrants an update.
  • Area guides: refreshed every 6 months with current price bands and yield ranges.
  • Primers: refreshed annually or when referenced legal frameworks change.
  • Quarterly retrospectives: static snapshots of their covered period; not refreshed – they're historical records.
  • Tool reference data (yield calculator baselines, map panel figures): refreshed quarterly alongside each market report.

Editorial independence

We disclose every partnership and affiliate relationship in the disclosure page. Featured partner placements are clearly labeled. No partnership purchases favorable analysis, and no article ranking or comparison outcome is contingent on revenue consideration. If a partner fails to perform for reader leads, we drop the partnership.

Corrections policy

If a reader identifies a factual error, we correct it within 48 hours and add a correction note at the top of the affected article, stating what changed and when. Editorial changes that alter argument or substance trigger a modified-date bump. Typography, accessibility, and cosmetic fixes don't.

Data we do not publish

  • Individual investor transaction details unless explicitly consented
  • Partner-agency internal pricing or lead data
  • Named-buyer information from case-study interviews (always anonymized)

Feedback

If you have a question about how we sourced a specific claim, an update suggestion, or a correction request, reach the editorial desk via the contact page. Partner and press inquiries via the same route.
