Measure	This developer	Base	What it says, and does not
Completions on record	9	22 off-plan	Buildings the corpus records as handed over, 2023 to 2026, 7 of them since 2024. It is a count of completions, not a punctuality record: see the note below.
Past its stated handover	3 of 21	14% vs 6% market	Off-plan projects whose own published handover date has passed while the source still records them as under construction. One observation cannot separate a delayed building from a listing nobody refreshed, so this is a flag to check, not a finding.
Price against neighbours	1.08x	19 projects	Each project’s median rate per sqft over the median of the other builders in the same community, then the median of those. The developer’s own projects are excluded from the benchmark. Middle half 0.97x to 1.43x.
Payment plan discount	6.73%	17 schedules	How much less the unit costs in today’s money than its headline, once the published schedule is discounted. Market median 5.26%. Terms, not price: the full ranking.
Community footprint	10 communities	22 located projects	A spread book: 23% of it sits in Dubai Maritime City. Concentration is a fact about exposure, in either direction, not a verdict.
Listing completeness	94%	22 off-plan	Share of five listing facts published across its own projects: price 96%, handover date 96%, unit inventory 91%, payment plan 91%, coordinates 96%. Market 86%. This scores disclosure, not the buildings.

The scorecard does not measure whether Danube hands over on time. Every project in this corpus carries one handover date, the date its listing stated when we read it. There is no separately recorded original announced date and no earlier reading of the same project to compare against, so no on-time rate can be computed, and we publish none rather than a proxy. The completions column is also bounded by what the corpus can see: 1,034 of the 1,087 delivered buildings on record handed over in 2020 or later (96%), and the corpus only sees projects that were listed on the portals we read, so an absent completion is an absence of evidence rather than evidence of absence. Full definitions, queries and limitations: methodology.
