- [[power-centres]] — Retail hubs anchored by multiple big-box national retailers, serving as the primary site-selection anchors for Woodfine co-location deployments.
- [[co-location-anchors]] — Large-format national retailers whose verified presence within defined proximity thresholds is the binary qualifying criterion for commercial node inclusion.
- [[co-location-target-hierarchy]] — Three-tier target classification in Woodfine's co-location dataset — Primary (Walmart Supercentre), Secondary (Home Depot, Costco), Tertiary (universities, medical centres).
- [[co-location-tier-nomenclature]] — The four tier labels — Regional, District, Local, Fringe — visible on the co-location map follow the International Council of Shopping Centres retail property hierarchy, providing a nomenclature that carries meaning independently of the platform itself. Sprint 17 (May 2026) introduced both the ICSC labels and the V3 pure-predicate tier engine.
- [[co-location-tier-nomenclature]] — The four tier labels — Regional, District, Local, Fringe — visible on the co-location map follow the International Council of Shopping Centres retail property hierarchy, providing a nomenclature that carries meaning independently of the platform itself. The ICSC labels and the current predicate-gate scoring system were introduced together in May 2026.
- [[national-tenants]] — Revenue-driving professional occupiers — academic, medical, and civic — whose institutional identity anchors building credibility and stabilizes the mix-of-use tenant composition.
- [[retail-brand-family-taxonomy]] — Every retail location on the co-location map carries a brand family classification that determines how the location is displayed and, for some families, whether it contributes to cluster scoring. The taxonomy was designed around the anchor types used in the co-location methodology while remaining extensible to the full range of ingested operators.
- [[retail-centres]] — Retail Centres (PRO) are neighbourhood commercial centres anchored by grocery, pharmacy, bank, and casual dining — one of three Location Intelligence co-location archetypes, and the base map product for the site-selection dataset.

- [[cluster-deduplication-threshold]] — The co-location index pipeline deduplicates overlapping clusters that represent the same commercial zone using a fixed, tightly-set proximity threshold, retaining the cluster with the higher secondary operator count. An earlier, substantially wider threshold was found to suppress legitimately distinct commercial nodes in dense suburban corridors.
- [[co-location-ranking-system]] — The deterministic mechanics behind cluster ranking — country-relative percentile axes, the overlap test between neighbouring clusters, and the tiebreak order applied within a tier.
- [[co-location-tiering-scoring]] — Tier scoring for co-location clusters — what the T1–T3 composition tiers measure, the DBSCAN parameters that form clusters, and what the tiers do not claim.
- [[catchment-ranking-methodology-v3]] — The V3 tier-assignment methodology assigns each co-location cluster to one of four tiers using binary predicate gates — composition, national catchment rank, civic classification, and spatial overlap — replacing the prior composite-score system introduced in Sprint 17 (May 2026).
- [[catchment-ranking-methodology-v3]] — The V3 tier-assignment methodology assigns each co-location cluster to one of four tiers using binary predicate gates — composition, national catchment rank, civic classification, and spatial overlap — replacing the prior composite-score system (May 2026).
- [[geographic-co-location-methodology]] — Five-degree cluster system scoring retail node proximity from Primary, Secondary, and Tertiary target co-occurrence to rank development sites by anchor strength.
- [[od-catchment-methodology]] — Trade areas for each co-location cluster are defined using crow-flies H3 hexagonal distance rings: a 35 km primary zone and a 35–150 km secondary zone, both computed from WorldPop 2026 population data.
- [[trade-area-methodology]] — Honest labelling of demand geography — why straight-line distance bands are never called catchments, and the planned move to isochrones and observed origins.
