**Composition.** Every cluster forms around a [[co-location-anchors|primary anchor]] from one of four classes: Hypermarket (general-merchandise chains such as Walmart, Target, Mercadona, and Tesco), Lifestyle (large-format home retailers — IKEA is the sole chain in this class), Hardware (home-improvement chains such as Home Depot, Lowe's, and Leroy Merlin), and Warehouse (membership clubs such as Costco, Sam's Club, and Makro). The classes present at one node determine which tier a cluster can reach.

**Catchment rank.** A cluster's population percentile is calculated within its own country. A node in the top decile nationally clears a stricter gate than one in the top half.
**Catchment rank.** A cluster's population is ranked against others in its own country, so a node is judged against national conditions rather than a single cross-border yardstick. Higher tiers require a higher national standing.

**Civic presence.** A qualifying hospital must sit within the cluster's civic ring. Regional and District require a regionally or district-classified hospital; Local accepts any hospital classification.

**Non-overlap.** Clusters within 3.0 km of one another are compared by intersection-over-union. A cluster dominated by a stronger neighbour is held below the tier its composition would otherwise earn.
**Non-overlap.** Neighbouring clusters that substantially overlap are compared against each other. A cluster dominated by a stronger neighbour is held below the tier its composition would otherwise earn, so that one trading location is not counted twice.

## The four tiers

| Tier | What it requires |
|---|---|
| **Regional** | A hypermarket paired with a warehouse or lifestyle anchor, top-decile catchment population nationally, and a regional hospital within the civic ring. The highest tier. |
| **District** | A hypermarket paired with hardware or warehouse, top-quartile catchment population, and hospital access within the civic ring. |
| **Local** | A hardware or warehouse anchor, top-half catchment population, and any hospital within the civic ring. |
| **Regional** | A hypermarket paired with a warehouse or lifestyle anchor, catchment population in the highest national band, and a regional hospital within the civic ring. The highest tier. |
| **District** | A hypermarket paired with hardware or warehouse, catchment population in a high national band, and hospital access within the civic ring. |
| **Local** | A hardware or warehouse anchor, catchment population above the national midpoint, and any hospital within the civic ring. |
| **Fringe** | Retail co-tenancy is present, but catchment reach, composition, or civic support falls short of Local. |
