What the model is seeing

Café leads at 58/100, 9 points above retail at 49/100. The gap is real but modest — it is not a settled format choice. The suburb verdict is AVOID at 54/100.

Competition at 7/10 is the constraint. Demand is 6/10 and rent pressure is 5/10. A high competition score is density in the model, not a list of venues.

Malak is the nearest scored suburb, about 1.0 km away. Competition 7/10 versus 5/10. Both figures are suburb scores, not a walk between the two shopfronts.

Existing notes name Karama Street. Those names are not a rent quote, a visitor count, or a growth rate.

The model result is AVOID. Local evidence is limited, so this screen is not a lease decision.

How to read these scores

Composite 54/100; Café 58/100. Use this as an early location verdict before lease diligence.

Business-Type Scores

Scores use engine-derived weights: cafés weight demand and rent most heavily; restaurants factor tourism; retail factors tourism and demand equally.

Methodology: Scores are engine-derived from five observable inputs (demand strength, rent pressure, competition density, seasonality risk, tourism dependency — each 1–10). These feed into business-type-specific weighted composites via a single scoring engine used across all markets. Scores are relative estimates calibrated across all Darwin suburbs — a score of 80 indicates materially better conditions than 65; it is not a success probability or guarantee.
