How the scoring model works

Overlay supply
Map live and planned competitor centres, rent benchmarks and vacancy against the same grid.
Weight signals
Blend GCC hiring announcements, commute isochrones and talent density into a 0-100 score.
Model payback
Run capex, fit-out and stabilised-occupancy assumptions to rank sites by payback and IRR.
Recommended actions
Next moves from the market radar and finance modeller agents
Fast-track Kharadi LOI
Anchor GCC discussion is live — lock the 68k sq ft site before a competitor's Q3 opening.
Deepen Thane Wagle Estate rent survey
Confirm 22% rent discount holds across 3 comparable buildings before committing capex.
Watch Hinjawadi supply
Hold off until competitor Phase 2 lease-up data is visible — re-score in 90 days.
De-prioritise Shivajinagar
Saturated with premium supply and thin unserved demand; redirect scouting budget elsewhere.
