The Investment Score (0–100)
Every sector gets a single 0–100 score so you can compare them at a glance. It is a transparent weighted formula — not a prediction, and not a machine-learning model. Each sector earns points across six factors:
- Price growth — 25 points. Year-on-year appreciation. Higher growth scores higher.
- Liquidity — 20 points. How easily property in the sector resells, on a 1–10 scale.
- Infrastructure — 20 points. Roads, power, water, social amenities, on a 1–10 scale.
- Metro proximity — 15 points. Distance to the nearest metro station. Closer scores higher.
- Airport proximity — 10 points. Distance to Noida International (Jewar). Closer scores higher.
- Risk — 10 points. Low-risk sectors score full marks; medium and high score less.
Add them up and you get the score out of 100. Because the weighting is fixed and public, two people looking at the same sector always see the same number — and you can decide for yourself whether you agree with how we weighted it. If you think metro access should matter more than airport distance, you now know exactly what to adjust in your own head.
The AI Intelligence cards
The sentiment cards on listings and the Intelligence feed are generated by Claude (Anthropic's AI). We take the transcript or top comments from a YouTube video about a project, send them to Claude, and ask it to extract structured sentiment — positives, concerns, a 0–100 enthusiasm score and a one-line summary.
This means the cards reflect what reviewers and commenters on YouTube are saying, as interpreted by an AI — not CityLens's own opinion, and not paid placement. The AI can be wrong, miss sarcasm, or over-weight a vocal minority. Treat it as "here is the public mood, summarised," not as fact.
Where the sector data comes from
Prices, growth rates, circle rates and infrastructure ratings are compiled from publicly available sources including ANAROCK, Square Yards, 99acres, NoBroker market reports, and the official UP government circle-rate notifications. Office building data is sourced from JLL India listings.
We are honest about the limitation: this data is reviewed and updated periodically, not streamed live. Real estate prices move slowly — month to month, not minute to minute — so a periodic refresh is appropriate for long-horizon decisions. But if you are transacting, always verify the current price with a RERA-registered agent or the developer directly.
What CityLens is not
- It is not a live market-data terminal. Figures are indicative, not tick-by-tick.
- It is not investment advice. See our Disclaimer.
- It is not a brokerage. We do not sell property or take commissions on sales.
- It is not a substitute for legal, financial, or RERA due diligence.
