The Problem

Research Deserves Better AI

You need answers you can stand behind, with real sources, verifiable citations, and a clear evidence trail. Today's AI tools fall short.

Same question, two answers

How do commercial real estate cap rates respond when interest rates change?

Generic AI chatbot

Illustrative

Cap rates move one-for-one with the 10-year Treasury, so a 100 basis point rate increase raises cap rates by 100 basis points across all property types.

No matching record found

Cited as “Treasury Yields and Cap Rate Pass-Through,” 2019

Searched the Corbis index for this title: no matching paper. The claim also conflicts with the studies cited in the Corbis example.

Cap rates track capital-market spreads, but not immediately. One study that models cap rates on debt and equity spreads finds both matter, with significant adjustment lags . Separately, what cap rates signal differs by property type: they capture expected returns for apartments, retail, and industrial properties, but do not forecast (in-sample) office returns , and averaging across property types discards information .

From the abstract

The model indicates cap rates are determined by debt and equity spreads. … The empirical results support the importance of both spreads; however, cap rates respond with significant adjustment lags to changes in capital market spreads.

Your reputation is on the line. One fabricated citation in a report. One unsupported figure in a presentation. That is all it takes for colleagues, reviewers, and stakeholders to question everything else.
