    Granular taxonomy, some mapping work needed

    The 400-category taxonomy is detailed, which meant about a week of mapping to our own 60 categories. Answers to our questions came within a day, but there was no ready-made crosswalk. Coverage in Southern Europe was better than we expected.

    The open/closed flag is the real value

    We replaced an older POI file that was full of closed restaurants. In a spot check of 300 places around our candidate sites only a handful were wrong, and those were all recent closures. Trade-area reports are now something the property team actually trusts.
