1. Purpose of the Bektu Score
The Bektu Score reflects how much information about a real estate developer can be independently identified, understood, and verified by an English-speaking foreign buyer, based on the developer's website.
2. What the Bektu Score Is — and Is Not
The Bektu Score IS
- An informational assessment of how much verifiable information is available
- Based on observable disclosure criteria including legal existence, named accountable people, project disclosure clarity, delivery evidence, external verifiability, and English accessibility
- Based on objective, documented criteria
- Updated as new information becomes available
The Bektu Score IS NOT
- A recommendation or endorsement
- Investment, legal, or financial advice
- A guarantee of legitimacy, performance, or delivery
- A judgment of intent, honesty, or business quality
3. Scope & Audience
Bektu serves English-speaking foreign buyers.
As a result:
- Information not accessible in English cannot be fully evaluated
- Language accessibility directly affects transparency for this audience
- This does not imply wrongdoing or inferiority of non-English materials
The Bektu Score reflects information accessibility to the intended audience, not global reputation.
4. How the Bektu Score Is Calculated (High Level)
The Bektu Score is calculated using a multi-dimensional scoring model based on observable disclosure criteria:
- Legal Existence
- People & Accountability
- Project Disclosure
- Delivery Evidence
- External Verifiability
- English Accessibility
- Information Freshness
Each category is composed of multiple observable signals derived from:
- Official websites
- Public registries
- Third-party sources
- Verifiable documentation
Scores range from 0 to 100 and reflect information availability, clarity, verifiability, and accessibility for English-speaking foreign buyers.
5. Conservative-by-Default Methodology
Bektu applies a conservative-by-default approach:
- Missing information receives no credit
- Vague or marketing-only information receives partial credit
- Verifiable, specific information receives full credit
- Contradictions or inconsistencies may result in penalties
Information availability must be demonstrated, not assumed.
6. Language Accessibility (English)
Because Bektu serves English-speaking buyers, English accessibility is a material factor in evaluating information accessibility.
Developers may be subject to:
- Score penalties
- Maximum score caps
If key information is not available in English.
This reflects information accessibility, not legitimacy, intent, or investment quality.
7. Score Caps & Penalties
Certain conditions limit the maximum achievable score, including but not limited to:
- No disclosed legal entity
- Anonymous ownership or leadership
- No delivery evidence
- Information not accessible in English
- Conflicting or inconsistent disclosures
Caps are applied to ensure the Bektu Score remains meaningful for buyers.
8. Automated & Verified Information
Bektu Scores may be based on:
- Automated detection (language detection, content analysis)
- Manual verification (submitted documentation, audits)
Automatically detected data is clearly labeled. Verified information is marked accordingly.
False or misleading verification claims may result in:
- Score penalties
- Revoked verification status
- Audit log entries
9. Updates, Changes & Versioning
Bektu Scores:
- Reflect information available at the time of calculation
- May change as new information becomes available
- Are versioned to ensure transparency
Bektu does not guarantee real-time accuracy.
10. Developer Participation & Corrections
Developers may:
- Claim their profile
- Submit additional documentation
- Request review of factual inaccuracies
Bektu reserves the right to independently evaluate all submissions.
11. No Liability for Decisions
Bektu is not responsible for decisions made based on Bektu Scores.
Users acknowledge that:
- Real estate involves inherent risk
- Information availability does not eliminate uncertainty
12. Fairness & Neutrality
The Bektu Score applies the same criteria to all developers.
Bektu does not:
- Accept payment to alter scores
- Guarantee score improvements
- Prioritize commercial relationships over methodology
13. Changes to This Methodology
This methodology may be updated over time.
Significant changes will:
- Be versioned
- Be disclosed publicly
- Apply prospectively
