What the model is seeing
Café 65, restaurant 64 and retail 64 sit within 1 points. The model is not choosing a format. The suburb verdict is VERIFY at 64/100.
Demand at 3/10 is the constraint. Rent pressure is 1/10 and competition is 1/10, so the model is not mainly warning about cost or saturation.
No cited count, named street, or competitor list is available for this suburb. The score is the model only.
The model result is VERIFY. Local evidence is limited, so this screen is not a lease decision.

Factor Breakdown
Location factors
Demand, rent, competition, seasonality, and tourism — scored and weighted for Australian commercial operators.
Business-Type Scores
How each format performs
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 Mount Gambier suburbs — a score of 80 indicates materially better conditions than 65; it is not a success probability or guarantee.
