User Manual
Use RentIntel to test whether a quoted rent looks fair and keep your work organized.
Start with the judgement: under, fair, elevated, or high versus benchmark.
Official transaction-backed rent and current asking rent are shown separately.
Use historical psf trends, source notes, and context cards to understand why the current answer looks fair or stretched.
Use Workspace when you want the chart, rent brief, source context, evidence table, and offer-planning tools in one place.
Saved Tools helps you return to saved checks, watched areas, alerts, exported notes, and future report interest without losing your place.
If RentIntel does not cover a retail area yet, add it to the coverage queue so it can be reviewed for a future public answer.
Workspace
How to use Workspace
Start with one area: Workspace works best when you open it from a public result or search one retail area directly.
Read the rent brief first: Use the summary, fair range, and confidence read before going into the chart.
Use chart context: Check whether the asking line is moving ahead of the official benchmark trend.
Open source context: Review how much of the answer comes from official benchmark data versus asking-rent evidence.
Use evidence and offer tools carefully: Treat them as decision support for negotiation prep, not as guaranteed lease pricing.
Evidence Status
How to read the source update status
Working normally: the latest asking-rent capture is no more than seven days old.
Recent asking comparison: verified asking-rent evidence is no more than fourteen days old.
Official benchmark available: the official area benchmark remains usable, but a recent asking-rent comparison is not available. Any older asking figure is labelled as an earlier comparison.
Latest verified capture: the date of the newest reviewed asking-rent evidence.
URA benchmark release: the latest official quarterly retail rental index imported from data.gov.sg. It shows the broad market direction, not S$/psf for a particular unit.
OneMap address check: confirms an address, postal code, and map position when live access is available. RentIntel keeps its saved location details as a fallback if OneMap cannot be reached.
What OneMap does not do: OneMap improves location accuracy. It does not supply asking prices or turn an earlier asking comparison into a recent one.
Separate update clocks: a fresh URA benchmark does not make an older asking-rent capture current. RentIntel displays and checks these two sources separately.
Important: RentIntel never changes an asking-rent date or value merely to make a result look current.
Verified Rent Updates
How new asking-rent information is accepted
Real evidence only: RentIntel does not move rent figures forward automatically or create replacement values.
Source permission: every incoming batch must identify its licensed or verified source and confirm that RentIntel may use it.
Evidence checks: every rent record needs a capture date, listing count, sensible psf values, and evidence references. Three or more current references are recommended for an area-level review.
Safe testing first: an admin prepares the batch in the Verified Asking Feed Capture screen. Validation never changes the active public feed.
Controlled release: a reviewed batch becomes current only after the generated feed is approved and published.
Workspace Queue
How to read the area review queue
Current: this is the area you have open right now.
Attention: this area still needs more review before you should rely on it.
Show best-looking: jumps to the area that currently looks most complete.
Show most urgent: jumps to the area that needs review most.
Save this view: keeps your current queue setup so you can reopen it later.
Open top priority: takes you to the area RentIntel thinks you should continue first.
Continue suggested area: follows the best next area when Workspace has learned a likely follow-up path.
Recent shortcuts: gives you quick ways to return to views you used a moment ago.
Plain English Labels
What the new queue wording means
Missing key checks: important parts of the review are still incomplete.
Follow-up needed: the area has already been reviewed once, but still needs another pass.
Nearly done: the area looks close to finished and may only need a final check.
Start here: this is the best place to continue in the current queue.
Recently checked / Recently improved: these tags show recent movement without using internal review jargon.
Saved Tools
How to use Saved Tools
Save useful checks: Keep area reviews you may want to revisit later.
Track watched areas: Use watched areas when you want to monitor the same retail cluster over time.
Keep exported notes together: Saved Tools is the place to return to exported report notes and future report interest.
Use it as a free layer: Saved Tools is part of the free-access model and is meant to help you organize public research, not gate it.
Reading Results
How to interpret a RentIntel answer
Official median: the transaction-backed benchmark layer.
Current asking: shown only when recent verified asking-rent evidence is available for that area.
Earlier asking comparison: a clearly dated pilot figure that may help with context but is not today's asking price.
Comparison gap: how far the asking layer sits above or below the official benchmark. It is current only when the asking evidence is recent.
Information status: Benchmark only, Asking checked, or Recent comparison tells you exactly which rent information is currently available.
