Data Signals
The Problem

Site selection is broken.
The data exists. The tools don't.

A Starbucks opening a new location has a 30-person analytics team. A regional chain with 50 locations has one person with Excel.

They drive to sites, count cars in parking lots, pull Census data that's 4 years old, and buy $50K+ subscriptions they can barely afford.

The process takes weeks. The data is stale. The decisions are gut-feel.

The Solution

One score. Five signals. Seconds, not weeks.

Data Signals

Five signals. One truth.

40%

Business Vitality

Net business openings, category diversity, rating trajectories — the pulse of commercial activity.

35%

Population Momentum

Migration flows, vacancy trends, and residential demand signals that lead economic growth by 6-12 months.

25%

Demographics

Income levels, population density, and age distribution — the fundamental demand-side variables.

Enrichment

Development Pipeline

Building permits across 10+ cities. A $200M mixed-use development 2 miles away transforms a location's trajectory.

Enrichment

Traffic & Employment

Real-time traffic flow from TomTom and job posting density from Adzuna — leading indicators of area vitality.

Built For

The middle market deserves better tools.

Enterprise tools cost $50K+/year. Free tools are spreadsheets and gut feel. We built for the space in between.
