What the model is seeing

Café leads at 73/100, 4 points above retail at 69/100. The gap is real but modest — it is not a settled format choice. The suburb verdict is PROCEED at 71/100.

No factor is in a tight band. Demand is 6/10, rent pressure 2/10, competition 3/10, and seasonality 4/10. The verdict comes from the weighted blend, not from one red flag.

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

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

How to read these scores

Composite 71/100; Café 73/100. Use this as an early location verdict before lease diligence.

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 Devonport suburbs — a score of 80 indicates materially better conditions than 65; it is not a success probability or guarantee.
