Layer 01
OfficialDLD registry
Project identity, official developer registration, registry status and source fields are shown from the current locally imported DLD record.
Data & trust
Clear about what is official. Clear about what is context.
Dubai Transparency Guide separates official project records from independently edited context. They appear together to make a project easier to understand, but they never mean the same thing.
Layer 02
OfficialMashrooi observations
When available, a project’s latest retrieved Mashrooi observation takes precedence for progress and status. Each observation carries its own retrieval date.
Layer 03
ContextProject guides
Readable project and developer context is independently edited from reviewed source material. It is secondary to official records and can be absent where facts are thin.
How updates work
We show the latest recorded observation, not a promise of real-time data.
Official imports create a new registry view
A DLD field changes here only after a new official import is recorded. The date on the source card is the retrieval time for that registry artifact, not a project handover, inspection or completion date.
Mashrooi is refreshed by project
Projects are revisited in bounded daily batches. A project without a recent Mashrooi retrieval continues to show its latest available official value rather than an estimated replacement.
Context does not overwrite evidence
Editorial text, amenities, unit types and visual material are versioned separately. They never replace an official status, progress figure, developer registration or timeline.
What we do not infer
Absence of a value is kept visible.
We do not turn an area name into an exact point, extrapolate construction progress, or invent a handover date from a source retrieval date. Where a confirmed fact is not present, the product should say less rather than fill the gap.
How to read a project
Start with the label and its date.
Use the official status and progress label as the record of fact. Treat project guides, galleries and structured details as supporting context. The guide does not provide prices, payment plans, recommendations, forecasts or investment advice.
