Editorial Policy, Fact-Checking & Review Standards
Greywolf Partners adheres to rigorous journalistic integrity, empirical data verification, and professional real estate industry standards. Our goal is to provide reliable, authoritative, and actionable commercial real estate intelligence for institutional investors, brokers, asset managers, and corporate tenants.
1. Research Methodologies & Primary Sources
Our research and analysis are synthesized exclusively from verified primary and institutional secondary sources, including:
- Federal & Municipal Data: Federal Reserve Economic Data (FRED), U.S. Census Bureau Construction Spending reports, Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), and municipal property tax records.
- Industry Benchmarks: BOMA (Building Owners and Managers Association) standards for rentable square footage, CCIM Institute transaction models, and Appraisal Institute (MAI) valuation standards.
- Commercial Transaction Databases: Real Capital Analytics (RCA), CoStar commercial leasing indexes, CBRE/JLL/Cushman & Wakefield quarterly capital market reports, and SEC Form 10-K filings from publicly traded REITs.
2. Multi-Tier Review Process
Every analysis published on greywolfpartners.com undergoes a mandatory three-tier review workflow prior to publication:
- Primary Author Drafting: Research is formulated by financial analysts and real estate specialists with documented subject-matter expertise in commercial leasing, debt structuring, or asset valuation.
- Technical Fact-Check & Data Verification: Numerical formulas (such as Capitalization Rates, Internal Rate of Return, Debt Yields, and Net Operating Income reconciliations) are independently verified against current financial formulas.
- Senior Editorial Oversight: Our editorial board evaluates the copy for neutrality, clarity, regulatory compliance, and alignment with our strict conflict-of-interest guidelines.
3. Independence & Conflict of Interest Policy
Our editorial team retains complete independence. When articles cover specific commercial real estate service providers, software tools, or financial intermediaries, those assessments are made purely on operational merits, industry adoption, and transparent feature evaluations. Sponsored analyses or guest contributions must meet identical editorial thresholds and are explicitly disclosed in accordance with Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines.
4. Corrections & Ongoing Content Audits
The commercial real estate market is dynamic, with continuous updates to interest rates, statutory depreciation schedules, and zoning regulations. We perform quarterly audits on our evergreen cornerstone articles to update cap rate benchmarks, market transaction figures, and statutory citations. If an error is identified, we issue immediate, transparent corrections noting the timestamp and nature of the revision.
