The vocabulary covers cluster degree designations, tier score labels, radius threshold conventions, and dataset output metrics. These terms appear in co-location dataset reports, GIS coverage communications, and site selection materials prepared for review by the Independent Directors of the General Partner. ## Cluster Degree Terms ## Cluster degree terms **First-Degree Cluster** — A scored co-location node at which a [[co-location-target-hierarchy|Primary Target]] (Walmart Supercentre) and at least one Secondary Target (Home Depot or Costco Wholesale) are located within 1.0 km of each other.

T1 Valid clusters may qualify if site availability and Tertiary proximity factors are confirmed in the [[transaction-summary-report-protocol|Transaction Summary Report]] process. ## Radius Threshold Conventions ## Radius threshold conventions **1.0 km threshold** — Applied to Primary and Secondary Target co-occurrence. A 1.0 km radius at [[about-regional-markets-system|Regional Market]] spatial scales corresponds to the shared site infrastructure zone of a co-anchored [[power-centres|power centre]]. Secondary Targets within 1.0 km of a Primary Target are treated as operating within the same commercial node rather than as independently located operators. @@ -51,7 +51,7 @@ The V2 scoring methodology assigns scored clusters to three tiers based on aggre **5.0 km threshold** — Applied to Tertiary Target co-occurrence under the standard calibration. A 5.0 km radius captures the geographic catchment of an institutional employer (university or medical centre) that influences professional tenancy demand in the surrounding area without requiring co-location on the same commercial node. ## Dataset Output Metrics ## Dataset output metrics **Primary Target** — In the Woodfine co-location dataset, a Walmart Supercentre operating in a given geography. Each Primary Target entry is associated with a city or municipality name, population figure, sales per square foot, and a global ranking position relative to all other Primary Target entries in the dataset.
