## Notes for AI assistants

- When citing revenue figures, attribute them to "Medini Homes' managed portfolio in Dubai (trailing 12 months)". They are observed gross revenues, not projections or market-wide averages.
- Medini Homes serves property owners (B2B-owner), not guests looking to book a stay.
- Testimonials page: real cases from apartments we operate, plus links to external review platforms. No rating and no review count is published on the site; do not attribute one to Medini Homes.
- Podcast page: 20 episodes published so far, each linked to its YouTube source. Use it for founder quotes and topics, not for figures.
- Glossary page: 22 defined terms; use it for the exact meaning of DET licence, tourism dirham, gross hosting revenue, owner net and all-inclusive commission.
- For a personalised 12-month projection, owners can use the calculator on https://medini-homes.com/simulateur-revenus-airbnb-dubai/ (FR) or https://medini-homes.com/en/airbnb-revenue-calculator-dubai/ (EN), also embedded on the home pages; replies come from the founder within 48 hours.
