Data infrastructure

The verdict is deterministic.
The AI explains it. The data builds it.

Every verdict is computed from real, live sources — the GO / CAUTION / NO call and the score come from our deterministic scoring engine, not from an AI. Written narrative sections are generated by OpenAI on top of those numbers. No static databases. No educated guesses.

Google Maps & Places

Every competitor mapped within 500m

We pull real-time business data — names, categories, ratings and coordinates — directly from Google Places. No manual databases, no stale listings.

2021 data

ABS Census & Demographics

Income, age and population by suburb

ABS census data gives us median income, age profile and density — the foundation of every demand estimate. This uses 2021 census data; the next full census release is expected in 2026.

Rent Benchmarks

Rent context for every suburb and zone

AI-estimated rent benchmarks from category patterns and suburb context give you a directional range. Calibrate with your own lease figures for maximum accuracy.

Competition Scoring Engine

Threat rating for every nearby business

Our deterministic model scores competitor intensity by proximity, rating, category overlap and business count — giving you a number, not a vague "there's some competition."

OpenAI + in-house

AI Narrative + Compute Engine

Break-even, profit and scenarios

A deterministic rules-based engine (in-house) calculates daily volume needed, monthly profit, payback period, and best/base/worst scenarios from your rent and transaction value when inputs are sufficient. OpenAI is used on top of those numbers to write the narrative — it explains the verdict, it does not decide it.

Market Demand Signals

Search volume and demand-proximity signals by suburb

We combine category-level search volume and proximity to demand generators (transport, offices, universities) to estimate relative demand. Note: this is a proximity proxy, not direct foot-count data.

Why this exists

Built after a location cost us $180,000.

In 2021, we signed a lease in Perth that looked right on paper — good street, solid foot traffic, rent that felt manageable. Eighteen months later, the business closed. Three things we didn't check: the rent-to-revenue ceiling was too tight, an established competitor moved into the same block three months later, and the demographics skewed 15 years older than our target customer.

The data that would have changed the decision existed — it just wasn't assembled anywhere. Locatalyze is the tool we wish we'd had. It doesn't make the choice for you — it gives you the numbers to make it clearly.

Common questions

What's free vs paid?

Free: GO/CAUTION/NO verdict, competitor map (500 m), headline score, risk and demand insights, plus public guides and tools. Paid ($29+): modelled revenue and costs, break-even estimate, best/base/worst scenarios, PDF decision report, and what-if tools.

Do credits expire?

No. Report credits have no expiry date. Buy a 3-pack or 10-pack and use them whenever you're ready — across any Australian address.

What is your refund policy?

If a report fails to generate due to a technical error on our end, we'll refund the credit or regenerate the report at no charge. Because reports are generated on demand using live data, completed reports are non-refundable.

What does 'Compare locations side-by-side' mean?

When you have two or more reports in your dashboard, you can view them together to compare scores, rent-to-revenue ratios, and verdicts across different addresses. This helps you shortlist before committing to a site visit.

Is this financial advice?

No. Locatalyze is decision-support for site selection — not a licensed financial adviser. Use reports as a second opinion before you speak to your accountant or solicitor, not as a substitute for professional advice.

Know before you sign.

Get a GO / CAUTION / NO verdict for any Australian address in about 90 seconds — then unlock the full financial model for $29 if you want to go deeper.

This report is a second opinion — not a guarantee. Use it before you shortlist a site, meet an agent, or talk to your accountant.
