Change percentage threshold from 50% to 40% for tighter outlier filtering
Rationale: 50% threshold too permissive for Israeli real estate market. Within same room count/area, legitimate price variance typically ±30-35%, not 50%. Example: 13,402 NIS/sqm deal (47% below 25,120 median) was passing with 50% threshold. This is almost certainly data error or partial deal, not legitimate market variation. Changes: - ANALYSIS_PERCENTAGE_THRESHOLD default: 0.5 → 0.4 (40%) - Update CLAUDE.md docs to reflect 40% threshold Impact: - New lower bound: median × 0.6 (was median × 0.5) - New upper bound: median × 1.4 (was median × 1.5) - Tighter filtering while preserving legitimate high/low-end deals - Better aligned with actual Israeli real estate market variance Tests: All 326 tests pass 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>

- **IQR-based outlier detection**: Uses Interquartile Range (robust to skewed data)

- **Percentage backup filtering**: Catches extreme outliers (>50% from median) in heterogeneous data

- **Percentage backup filtering**: Catches extreme outliers (>40% from median) in heterogeneous data

- **Hard bounds filtering**: Removes obvious errors (price_per_sqm < 1K or > 100K NIS/sqm, deals < 100K NIS)
|

- **Robust volatility**: Investment analysis uses IQR instead of std_dev for stability ratings

- **Transparent reporting**: Returns both filtered and unfiltered statistics with outlier reports

**Design Principles:**

- **Dual filtering approach**: IQR (k=1.0) + percentage backup (50%) catch both mild and extreme outliers
|
||||
- **Dual filtering approach**: IQR (k=1.0) + percentage backup (40%) catch both mild and extreme outliers
|

- **Handles heterogeneous data**: Percentage backup catches outliers when IQR becomes too permissive (mixed room counts, property types)
|
||||
- **Transparent**: Both filtered and unfiltered statistics returned
|
||||
- **Conservative with real data**: Hard bounds + IQR + percentage preserve legitimate high-end properties
