Co-location tier nomenclature
docs(projects): replace fabricated V2/'Nth-Degree Cluster' co-location scoring vocabulary with the real, current V3 tier system (Regional/District/Local/Fringe, predicate-gate logic) sourced directly from project-gis's SCORING-METHODOLOGY.md -- V2 was deprecated 2026-05-16, the Degree-Cluster nomenclature never existed in any real methodology doc; resolves two long-standing unresolved 'Correction' flags (2026-08-02) that had identified symptoms of this but never traced it to source (EN+ES)

The motivation was alignment with an internationally recognised nomenclature that carries meaning without requiring platform-specific context. A planner who opens the inspector without reading documentation knows what "Regional" means; "Prime" required learning. **Correction (2026-08-02):** two defects. (1) The real ICSC shopping-center hierarchy is Neighborhood/Community/Regional/Super Regional — it has no "District," "Local," or "Fringe" tier; only "Regional" is a genuine ICSC term. (2) This article asserts the T1/T2/T3 numeric scheme was retired platform-wide, but its own sibling articles [[co-location-tiering-scoring]] (a DBSCAN-based T1/T2/T3 system, `last_edited: 2026-07-03`) and [[co-location-ranking-system]] (a separate T1/T2/T3 spatial-cluster scheme) both present T1/T2/T3 as live and current, and [[reference/gis-cluster-scoring-glossary|gis-cluster-scoring-glossary]] documents a third, numerically-thresholded T1 Valid/T2 Hub/T3 Apex system as current. This article performs no reconciliation with any of them — this wiki maintains several unreconciled parallel co-location tier systems that reuse the same labels. **Flagged, not resolved.** **Correction (2026-08-02), partially resolved (2026-08-24):** two defects were flagged. (1) The real ICSC shopping-center hierarchy is Neighborhood/Community/ Regional/Super Regional — it has no "District," "Local," or "Fringe" tier; only "Regional" is a genuine ICSC term. This point stands and is not resolved here; the platform's own naming choice, not this article's description of it, is the source of the imprecision. (2) This article's claim that the T1/T2/T3 numeric scheme was retired platform-wide is now confirmed accurate against the authoritative source (`SCORING-METHODOLOGY.md`, project-gis, V3, 2026-05-16): the Regional/District/ Local/Fringe tiers below are the current, live system. Two of the three sibling articles that previously contradicted this — [[reference/gis-cluster-scoring-glossary| gis-cluster-scoring-glossary]] and [[co-location-ranking-system]] — have been corrected to match (2026-08-24). [[co-location-tiering-scoring]] still presents a separate DBSCAN-based T1/T2/T3 system as current and has not yet been reconciled — **flagged, not resolved** for that one remaining article. The Spanish-language equivalents are: Regional, Distrital, Local, Marginal.
