The problem

A bad site is a
ten-year mistake.

01 · SPEED
3–6 wks
to commission a report

Reports arrive too late

A property research report takes weeks to commission and deliver. By the time it lands, the unit has gone or the trading picture has already moved.

02 · COST
£10–15k
per one-off report

The cost rules out iteration

At that price a report is non-repeatable and non-transferable. You commission one for the site you already like, not the ten you should be comparing.

03 · METHOD
~45%
naïve forecast overshoot

Gut feel still wins the room

Even with a report, teams overweight brand familiarity and model steady-state from day one. Year-one revenue is routinely overstated by nearly half.

How it works

From an address
to a board memo.

STEP 01

Enter any UK address

A postcode, a street address or a specific unit. Score a site you are evaluating, or benchmark one you already trade from.

STEP 02

Scoutly fuses the data

Eleven live sources pulled, cleaned and scored. Demand, footfall, competition, economics and strategic fit, computed against a 29-feature model in seconds.

STEP 03

Download the memo

A scored assessment with Conservative, Base and Optimistic projections built on real ramp curves. Board-ready. Export to PDF or PPTX.

The output

The site-approval
memo. Auto-written.

Your scoring engine ends where the consultant's would begin. Scoutly turns the scored output into a defensible document your investment committee can act on, not a dashboard they have to interpret.

Five-dimension score breakdown with methodology and per-source provenance
Planning history, licensing classification and change-of-use flags, before you instruct solicitors
One-click export to PDF or PPTX, formatted for the committee pack

Built from a real miss. Our own site came in ~45% under the naïve projection. Scoutly now models the ramp and the capture rate so the number in your pack is the one you actually hit.

Capabilities

Everything you need
to defend the call.

Five-dimension scoring

Demand, footfall, competition, economics and strategic fit. Each dimension carries transparent sub-metrics and defensible weighting. No black box.

ML prediction, shown openly

A 29-feature Random Forest runs alongside the structured engine. Both scores are surfaced, so you can see where they agree and where they part.

Honest revenue ramps

Maturity curves and real capture-rate calibration, not steady-state-from-day-one fantasy that overstates year one by nearly half.

The memo

Conservative, Base and Optimistic approval documents, board-ready out of the box, exportable to PDF and PPTX in a click.

Planning and licensing risk

Licensing zone, planning history and change-of-use risk surfaced from public records automatically, so surprises show up before legal fees do.

Lookalike finder

Peer co-location as revealed-preference viability, not naïve cannibalisation. Use comparable trading sites as evidence, not a hunch.

Questions

The obvious ones,
answered.

One address or postcode query, including all data fusion, scoring and memo generation. Re-running the same site to refine assumptions within a session does not cost you again.

Yes, for now. The data layer is built on UK-specific sources: ONS, DfT, VOA and CDRC. Coverage of the Republic of Ireland and mainland Europe is on the roadmap, sequenced by data availability rather than demand.

We model maturity ramp curves and real capture rates calibrated against operator actuals. Naïve steady-state projections routinely overstate year-one revenue by around 45%. Our Conservative, Base and Optimistic bands are built to bracket the number you will actually trade, not flatter the site.

Yes, and many operators start there. Scoring sites you already trade from gives you a retrospective benchmark, calibrates the model to your brand, and flags underperformers before a lease renewal locks you in for another term.
