What the model is seeing

Café is the strongest scored format at 74/100, 11 points above retail at 63/100. The suburb verdict is PROCEED at 69/100.

Demand at 5/10 is the constraint. Rent pressure is 2/10 and competition is 2/10, so the model is not mainly warning about cost or saturation.

Existing notes name Bruce Highway, Broad Street, Weekday Broad Street. 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 69/100; Café 74/100. 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 Mackay suburbs — a score of 80 indicates materially better conditions than 65; it is not a success probability or guarantee.
