Maps and Data
- Data overview — location intelligence and GIS data layers
An orientation to the spatial data layers behind the site-selection map: the point-of-interest, population, and spend inputs, the four-tier predicate-gate scoring they feed, and where each is documented in full.
- Nordic and UK coverage expansion
How Norway, Sweden, and the United Kingdom entered the co-location intelligence dataset through three Alpha-tier chain promotions in May 2026.
- Site ledger integration
Operational link binding each physical construction site to an isolated digital archive container, maintaining immutable audit records from groundbreak through commissioning.
- Spend and population estimation: provenance and assumptions
Provenance chain behind catchment population and spend estimates — Kontur Population, H3 aggregation, and per-capita multipliers, with their stated weaknesses.
- Trade area data sources — population and spend
Population estimates from Kontur Population and annual per-capita spend proxies from national household surveys underpin the trade area statistics for each co-location cluster.
- Transaction summary report protocol
Site-approval protocol advancing shortlisted Development Site candidates from geographic scoring to Independent Director review via the Transaction Summary Report.
- UK and European food retail coverage
The co-location index distinguishes between chains that participate in cluster scoring — anchors, hardware, warehouse — and chains that appear on the map as supporting context without affecting cluster grades. The Food family is the latter. This article documents United Kingdom and European Union food-retail coverage as of the May 2026 expansion.
