Dataset portability

Export the validated franchise set, the filtered commercial table, or a source audit for external analysis.

Read-only calculation

Primary score formula

overallScore = (brandRecognition × 0.22 + momentum × 0.18 + fandomEngagement × 0.15 + visualSuitability × 0.15 + licensingFeasibility × 0.12 + demographicFit × 0.08 + priceElasticity × 0.05 + whitespace × 0.05) × 10

Weights and criterion values are validated separately from the UI. The top-ten seed criteria reproduce the supplied opportunity scores to one decimal place.

Production authentication path

Place this route behind an identity provider, validate organization membership at the edge, enforce analyst and viewer roles, and record imports, approvals, and source edits in an append-only audit log. No fake login is included in this prototype.
