A documented regional shortlist with the next local validation task.

1. Compare the measured regional differences.
2. Check premises, access and competitors in the regions that remain.
3. Record the shortlisted regions with reasons.

Before a final commitment, resolve: Sector demand, premises costs, access, competitors and local partners.

The sample is limited. Your delivery includes a decision brief, prefilled tasks, an Excel decision workbook and an offline workspace. Evidence gaps stay visible; a research task is not a verified buying opportunity.
