Solutions
A method built for what you actually do.
A car wash and a childcare centre are not the same decision in different clothes. They weigh different things, and they fail for different reasons. So each gets its own method, and shows you its weights.
- 8 industries, 11 use cases
- The weights are on the page
- It asks before it runs one
01 / Pick your industry
Eight industries, and each one is judged on its own terms.
Every page below publishes the exact factors that playbook weighs, the thresholds it holds you to, and what disqualifies a site regardless of how well it scores.
Active adult
A 55+ community, judged on demographics, lifestyle fit, amenity access, competitive supply and national market context. Rental comps come in when Dwellsy IQ is switched on.
See the methodChildcare centre
Licensed centre-based childcare, infant through pre-K, across the community, premium and employer-sponsored tiers. The deepest playbook in the set.
See the methodRetail
The general retail siting model, for when the format is not yet decided or does not have its own playbook.
See the methodGrocery
Grocery-anchored retail, the format that has held up best. Includes leakage analysis and format matching.
See the methodQuick service
Quick-service restaurants, weighted toward the things a drive-thru actually lives on: traffic, access, demographics and competition.
See the methodPharmacy
A sector in structural transformation, so a site is judged against what the format is becoming rather than what it was.
See the methodConvenience
The densest retail network in the country, which makes competitive spacing the question that decides it.
See the methodCar wash
Traffic visibility, income, vehicle ownership and competitive density, which between them explain most of the outcome.
See the method02 / Or pick your use case
Eleven that do not care what industry you are in.
Where to go next, who is already there, what to charge, and what the storm is about to do to it. Those questions look the same whether you run clinics or car washes.
Site analysis
Any location, judged on demographics, accessibility, competition and risk. The one to reach for when no vertical playbook fits.
See the methodMarket analysis
A metro, county or submarket, read for opportunity and trend, and compared against its peers.
See the methodMarket scan
Find the best area, not the best address. Returns a scored surface across a whole region that you drill into, again and again, until you have a site.
See the methodExpansion
Where to grow next, weighed against the locations you already run, so the new one does not eat the old one.
See the methodCompetition
Who else is here, how close, and how much of the demand they are already taking.
See the methodPricing
A defensible price band, floor to target to stretch, anchored in fresh comps and in what the location itself is telling you.
See the methodSpatial analysis
The cross-layer question. What falls inside this boundary, how many of them, and what exactly is at this coordinate.
See the methodWeather and emergency
A live warning polygon, turned into population at risk, critical facilities, infrastructure and social vulnerability.
See the methodEngagement
Programming, collaborations and promotions for a place, and an honest list of the assets worth building.
See the methodMarketing content
Publish-ready posts and email copy, with a generated hero image, tuned to the segment that actually lives around the site.
See the methodPlaceStory™
The chapter-based location narrative, built through a guided conversation rather than a single prompt.
See the method03 / Not on the list
Then the playbook we write is the one you already run.
Somewhere in your organization is the person everyone trusts to call it. We sit with them, work out how they actually weigh the decision, and encode it so the rest of the team can run it the same way. It is how most of the playbooks above came to exist.
Bring the decision you argue about most. Watch a playbook run it.
The test that matters is not whether Curated can produce an answer. It is whether the method it used is the one your best analyst would have used.
Twenty minutes, on a question you already know the answer to.
