THIS IS CLOSER TO COMPETITION — BUT NOT YET LOCAL COMPETITION
State category density narrows the market. It does not choose the site.
Exact category counts are a major improvement over broad business density. But states are still large markets.
For a client-grade decision, PulseKita should combine this with district population, household income and expenditure, commercial activity, rent, footfall and the actual nearby competitor set.
