W.A.L.D.O is built entirely on official government data sources.

No proprietary estimates or third-party data of questionable origin.
Our analysis uses industry-standard economic methodologies taught in professional courses like CCIM CI 102.

We provide transparent methodology so you can understand exactly how conclusions are reached.
CoStar focuses primarily on existing properties and rent comps. W.A.L.D.O focuses on demand forecasting for ALL commercial property types - understanding WHERE demand is coming from before supply catches up.
