What the model is seeing
Café leads at 70/100, 5 points above retail at 65/100. The gap is real but modest — it is not a settled format choice. The suburb verdict is VERIFY at 67/100.
Demand at 4/10 is the constraint. Rent pressure is 1/10 and competition is 2/10, so the model is not mainly warning about cost or saturation.
Existing notes name Riddoch Highway, Princes Highway. Those names are not a rent quote, a visitor count, or a growth rate.
The model result is VERIFY. Local evidence is limited, so this screen is not a lease decision.
How to read these scores
Composite 67/100; Café 70/100. Use this as an early location verdict before lease diligence.

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.
