On the right you can see the SHAP waterfall --- for this condo, neighbourhood encoding, renovation age, and unit count are among the top drivers. That's consistent with NYC real estate: where you are matters more than size alone.'' ``Notice the grade is a C with a $\pm$35\% band --- Manhattan is the hardest segment in the data, and the system reports that honestly instead of pretending to be confident. Confidence is segment-adaptive: a Staten Island prediction would show $\pm$14\%.'' ``The comparable sales bubbles on the map show the nearest actual recorded sales --- green means our estimate is close, red means we're further off.

You can see the SHAP breakdown: district price history, the district-type encoding, and the Bayut asking-price signal are the top drivers here --- and the spatial grid shows this location sits about 575 metres from a metro station.'' ``The Riyadh Metro opened in 2024 and is a novel infrastructure signal --- the model captures the premium for proximity to metro stations, which is entirely absent from pre-2024 models.'' ``Notice the confidence interval is shown in SAR/m², and the district choropleth layer behind the prediction is showing the metro access overlay --- you can see Line 1, the busiest east--west corridor, cutting across the city.'' \end{narration} \begin{arabic}{Riyadh prediction} ``أضغط على منطقة طريق الملك فهد --- إحدى أهم مناطق الرياض. سأختار فيلا، 400 متر مربع.'' ``النموذج يُعطينا التقدير بالريال السعودي لكل متر مربع. في تحليل SHAP: القرب من المترو، الكثافة التجارية، جودة الهواء، والتاريخ السعري للحي هي أبرز العوامل.'' ``مترو الرياض افتُتح عام 2024 وهو إشارة بنية تحتية جديدة يلتقطها النموذج --- ما كان موجوداً في النماذج السابقة.'' \end{arabic} \begin{tcolorbox}[colback=blue!5,colframe=blue!60,title=\textbf{Metrics to highlight}] \begin{itemize} \item OOF (training folds): $R^2 = 0.9348$, MedAPE $= 8.25\%$ --- ``The model genuinely learned the Saudi market structure.'' \item Holdout Q1--Q3 2025: $R^2 = 0.8014$, MedAPE $= 15.59\%$ --- ``A new-quarter stress test, not a random sample.'' \end{itemize} \end{tcolorbox} % ───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── \section{Step 4 --- Listings Layer (30 seconds)} \label{sec:listings} \noindent\textit{Toggle on the Haraj active listings layer.} \begin{narration}{English} ``This layer shows 1,615 active property listings scraped from Haraj.com.sa --- Saudi Arabia's largest classifieds marketplace.

THAMAN was trained on deed-recorded transaction prices from the Ministry of Justice. Haraj shows what sellers are asking for, before negotiation.

This shows model performance broken down by NYC borough and price tier.'' ``Notice the Staten Island paradox: the worst per-borough $R^2$ but the best MedAPE at 14.4\%. That's because Staten Island has very low price variance; the model's absolute errors are small, but $R^2$ penalises a low-variance target. MedAPE is the right metric for a user-facing AVM.'' ``Manhattan is the hardest market at 35.2\% MedAPE. Co-op board approval discounts and unobservable interior finishes create heterogeneity that no tabular dataset can capture.'' \end{narration} \begin{arabic}{Analytics dashboard} ``لوحة التحليلات تُظهر أداء النموذج مقسّماً حسب منطقة نيويورك وشريحة السعر.'' ``لاحظوا مفارقة ستاتن آيلاند: أقل $R^2$ في البيانات لكن أفضل MedAPE. السبب: تشابه العقارات يُصغّر التباين الكلي، فيُعاقب $R^2$ حتى التنبؤات الدقيقة.'' \end{arabic} % ───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── \section{Step 6 --- Q\&A Talking Points / Closing (1 minute)} \label{sec:closing} \noindent Use this minute as a buffer.
