What's inside
Each page answers one question an owner actually asks, in plain language, with sourced numbers.
Real-map trade area
10-minute walk and 5 · 10 · 15-minute drive rings on a real map, with population, households, and Chinese share per ring.
Competitors, one by one
A card for every same-cuisine rival: distance, Google rating and reviews, price level, traffic tier, and how much of your demand it takes.
Demand vs. break-even
Modeled monthly demand against this site’s break-even line: the gap, and what could close it.
Six-dimension score
Demand, competition, rent, audience, access, clustering — one total, one clear verdict.
Risks and pre-lease checklist
Probability × impact risk register, conditions to negotiate before signing, and a 90-day opening plan.
Every number traceable
A sources page lists the agency, update date, and license for each dataset; anything unavailable says so — nothing is made up.

FAQ
Every report is built from official public statistics and licensed commercial map and business datasets, pulled for the exact address you enter rather than a city-wide average. The last page shows the update date and license behind each figure, and anything we could not obtain is marked unavailable — nothing is estimated to fill a gap.
