Editorial standards we hold to
When the editorial desk is quoted, we hold the same standards we use in our own publications: claims are sourced, numbers are dated, and uncertainty is named rather than smoothed over. If a question is outside our coverage area — for example Jakarta commercial property, Java agricultural land, or Lombok-specific regulation — we say so rather than speculate. Most journalists tell us this is unusual; for our readers and for theirs, it is the standard we believe is worth maintaining.
Quotable positions worth knowing
Our editorial position on the four questions that come up most often in press calls: nominee structures are illegal and we recommend against them in all circumstances; Canggu mid-tier saturation is real but not market-wide; Uluwatu clifftop carries a structural scarcity premium that has not compressed; and the 2026 KITAS investor pathway is a meaningful but not transformative regulatory move. All four positions are detailed with sources in the corresponding articles linked from the methodology page.
