Make the number explainable.

A good citation identifies the metric, geography, release date, and coverage boundary. Link to the stable reference page; use the dated download when reproducibility matters.

Recommended language

Say what the data measures.

Avoid converting a tracked count into a claim about the entire market unless the page explicitly defines complete coverage.

Existing inventory: “SpanVor tracks…” is more accurate than “The United States has…” because the dataset is an observed industrial property universe.
Development: “SpanVor identified X projects across Y measured cohorts…” preserves the published coverage boundary. Do not call a partial-authority cohort a complete metro total.
Building area: Use “source-stated” or “tracked building area.” Projects and properties without known area remain outside the square-foot sum.
Tenant records: Call them identified tenant or business-location observations—not unique companies, leases, or verified occupancy.
