Conditions signal
Complaint matches are Austin code-complaint records joined to this building's parcel ID — a raw count from the city's public dataset, not a WCII score. The study area's single active ROP registration is 305 W 35th St, not a seeded tower.
Price archive
Asking prices are not published in a comparable form. The floor-plans page renders pricing via JavaScript or as "call for pricing," so the nightly static-HTML archive finds no dollar figures. Published price opacity is logged as a data point, not treated as neutral.
Review forensics
The lived-experience-only rating (raw Google rating recomputed against tour/staff-praise and pre-opening reviews) is a planned layer. Review acquisition is manual and sampled — no scraper is built by default (guardrail 5). Nothing is shown here until real data is collected.
Composite grade
Not published. Scoring weights across the layers above are not yet set (W4) — per guardrail 3, no composite grade ships until they are, and published alongside the methodology.
Receipts
Every fact on this page traces to a primary source below. This is the "back every claim with a receipt" rule made literal — the building would not appear on the site without it.
