Woodfine Management Corp. operates a retail co-location intelligence platform
that identifies, ranks, and validates commercial real estate nodes across
8 retail markets spanning 13 countries. The platform is live at
gis.woodfinegroup.com and is built and maintained by PointSav Digital
Systems. This encyclopedia is the reference for the firm's spatial
methodologies, ranking algorithms, and regional deployment indices.

Woodfine Management Corp. operates a proprietary retail co-location intelligence
platform designed to identify, rank, and validate commercial real estate nodes
across North America and Europe. This encyclopedia serves as the definitive
reference for the firm's spatial methodologies, ranking algorithms, and regional
deployment indices. All content is structured for institutional review and
adheres to verifiable, data-driven spatial analysis.

## Knowledge portals

### [[co-location-intelligence-overview|Platform & strategy overview]]
The foundational intelligence strategy. Explores how large-format retail
convergence signals a validated commercial location where multiple independent
parties have committed capital to serve the same trade area.
→ **[[co-location-intelligence-overview|Read the intelligence overview]]**

### [[co-location-methodology|Methodology & governance]]
The deterministic, capital-validated framework for site assessment. Details the
Named-Anchor Combination Matrix and the structural rules that govern how primary,
secondary, and tertiary civic operators are evaluated.
→ **[[co-location-methodology|Enter the methodology portal]]**

### [[tier-index-north-america|Regional indices: North America]]
Interactive indices of the top-ranked commercial nodes across the continent.
Fuses proprietary GIS data with curated macroeconomic indicators to establish
Michelin-style co-location ratings.
→ **[[tier-index-north-america|View the North American index]]**

### [[tier-index-europe|Regional indices: Europe]]
A dedicated, granular index identifying high-value commercial nodes within
European markets, evaluated according to the firm's proprietary methodology.

## Featured article

<!-- ENGINE: read the file `featured-topic.yaml` from the repo root.
     Parse the pinned slug. Fetch that article's title and first
     paragraph. Render as a framed panel with the title, lead
     paragraph, and a "Read more →" link. If the pin file is absent,
     suppress this section entirely — do not render an empty frame.

     YYYY-MM-DD), note: (optional one-liner; engine ignores). -->

**[[co-location-ranking-system|The Retail Co-location Ranking System]]**

The Woodfine co-location ranking system evaluates retail sites using a
deterministic algorithm that scores each hypermarket anchor location based on the
convergence of secondary and tertiary retail and civic categories within defined
catchment radii.

The system produces a 12-rank index mapped to five quality tiers, visualised on
the GIS platform using a warm-to-cool colour scale. At the apex is the **Tier 5
(Full Co-location)**, representing sites where an anchor operates within 3 km of
both a hardware superstore and a warehouse club, and within 5 km of both a
healthcare facility and a university. This indicates that all four independent
capital-selection processes have converged on the exact same geographic node.

## Recent additions

<!-- ENGINE: sort all article files by last_edited: frontmatter date
     descending (fall back to git commit date if last_edited: is
     absent). Render the top 5 as an unordered list:
     "- [Title](/category/slug) — YYYY-MM-DD"
     If fewer than 5 articles exist, render however many there are.
     Do not render this section if the article count is 0. -->

## Did you know...

<!-- ENGINE NOTE: the statistics below are derived from the GIS platform
     dataset, not from wiki article metadata. They do not update
     automatically — refresh these figures when the GIS dataset is
     updated. -->

- **Global scale:** The current dataset identifies **2,738 ranked co-location
  sites** globally, encompassing 2,488 in North America and 250 in Europe.
- **Apex scarcity:** As of May 2026, there are **102 Tier 5 (Full Co-location)**
  sites across North America. Rank-1 sites represent 3.7% of total anchors,
  enforcing strict index scarcity.
- **Data provenance:** The platform analyses over 31,000 individual retail
  locations across 60+ chains, fusing OpenStreetMap service-business data with
  Overture Maps Foundation civic infrastructure records.
