Frequently asked questions
What is in Australian Student Housing? The sites on the map with their operator and owner where a source names one, the deals we have read, the numbers publishers state, and the news. The counts on this page are read from our database when the page opens. They are the sites we have recorded, not a full census of the market.
Where does the data come from? From public pages: company and operator sites, filings, trade press, broker research and listings. Each figure keeps the page it was read from and the words that state it, so you can open the source behind any number in Australian Student Housing.
How are the numbers sourced? A number is recorded only with the page and the words it was read from. We do not estimate a figure that a source does not state. Where a source does not name an operator or an owner, the page says "not recorded". Counts are the sites we have recorded, not a full census of the market.
How fresh is it? News is collected every day, overnight (UTC), and the deals found in it are read and added to the database in the hours after. Reports, filings and company pages are added when we read them, not on a fixed timetable, so each figure shows the date of its source. We do not promise a figure is current to the day: check the date beside it.
What if something is missing or wrong? Tell us with the Feedback button in the app, or write to hello@analystai.ai. Name the company, site or report. We check it against its source and add or fix it, and we say so when we cannot source it. We never fill a gap with a guess.
Can I upload my own documents, and who would see them? Uploading your own documents is not available yet. When it is, what you upload will be private to your account: we will not use it to improve our own data, show it to anyone else, or use it to train anything.
Who sees my questions and saved answers? They belong to your account. We do not use them to train or tune anything, in our data or in our tests, and we do not show them to another customer. Our staff can open the record of a question to fix a fault or answer a support request. To write an answer, the text of a question is processed by our AI providers, which the privacy page lists.
Can I subscribe to Australian Student Housing? Not yet: Australian Student Housing is not open for subscriptions. Sign in with your email and request access, and we email you when it opens.
