# LookAlike

> LookAlike is a site-selection discovery and triage tool for retail, restaurant, franchise, and commercial real estate teams. It profiles the neighborhoods around a brand's existing stores, then ranks all 83,008 US neighborhoods (census tracts) by resemblance to that footprint, with a transparent per-feature explanation for every match. It measures neighborhood resemblance on open data; it does not predict sales, revenue, or foot traffic.

LookAlike is for teams working in site selection, retail site selection, market screening, trade-area and neighborhood analysis, location intelligence, franchise territory planning, and tenant representation.
