Retail
A store's revenue, estimated before it even opens.
Before opening, investing, or committing, know exactly how far the territory can really take you — on a quantified basis, not a hunch.

La méthode
Simple to understand, rigorous under the hood
A store's revenue is the share of local demand it captures against other retailers. The model first estimates that demand, then the share that goes to each store. Revenue = Potential × Attractiveness − Leakage Outside the Network
Attractiveness
the share you capture against competitors. Actual road travel time, store profile, competitive intensity.
- Temps de trajet routier réel
- Profil du magasin
- Intensité concurentielle
Leakage
what escapes the network (e-commerce, retailers outside the radar), explicitly isolated so revenue isn't overestimated.
Reliability
A forecast you can trust
Real distance, not a circle
actual road travel time, the cost as perceived by the customer.
Competition built in
your share is calculated in competition, never in a vacuum.
Calibrated and validated store by store
the model is calibrated on your actual revenue, then tested: a store is predicted without being used in the calibration, and compared against actual results.
