Deal Sourcing & Market Research · Playbook 18

Messy market data into cycle insights.

Years of price data compared against income growth, in under ten minutes. An AI coding agent flags every data issue, waits for your approval before fixing it, and ships an insights document plus a presentation when it's done.


What this buys you.

A clean dataset, a written insights document, and a presentation that answers whether the market you or a client is buying into looks anything like a previous cycle peak. The math is the agent's. The judgement is still yours.

Upload. Plan. Approve.

01

Upload two files

A monthly property price index stretching back to a prior cycle peak, and an annual per-capita income series for the same country.

02

Ask for a plan before analysis

The agent returns clarifying questions and a structured plan: which periods to compare, which ratios to compute, which charts to produce.

03

Approve every data fix as it goes

Missing months, outlier price points, and index methodology changes each get flagged with a proposed fix. Nothing gets cleaned without your yes.

04

Read the insights document

A clean divergence chart, the years where prices ran furthest ahead of income, and a plain-English takeaway on where selectivity matters most.

The comparison prompt
I am analyzing property price growth relative to per capita income growth in [market], comparing pricing today against the [prior cycle peak year]. I am attaching historical price data and income data. Please ask clarifying questions.

What it still gets wrong.

i.

The math is solid; the methodology matters

A rebase or basket change mid-series will skew any cycle comparison unless segments are properly aligned.

ii.

Pressure-test the divergence years

If the flagged years match what you recall happening in the market, the analysis is anchored. If not, ask the agent to recheck the segment.

iii.

It's a pattern, not a prediction

The comparison shows where prices have run ahead of incomes. What a client does with that is still their call, informed by more than one chart.
