Compliance overlay
Five anchors run per-trade-area before any canonical record commits. The first anchor is operationally distinctive to franchise-development foot-traffic: CCPA/CPRA classify precise geolocation as sensitive personal information; Washington MHMDA + Texas SCOPE Act + biometric statutes layer on top; and FDD Item 19 Financial Performance Representation requires Pfizer 1972 substantiation when foot-traffic substantiates franchise revenue claim to prospects.

FAQ
- What is continuous foot-traffic ingestion for franchise development — and what is the sensitive-geolocation-times-FDD-Item-19 substantiation problem distinctive to this skill?
- A multi-unit franchise + multi-location service brand operator depends on continuous foot-traffic data to inform franchise-development site selection (where to open + acquire + close + remodel + relocate + transfer + franchise + license + master-franchise + sub-franchise). Mobility-data vendors (Placer.ai + SafeGraph + Foursquare + Veraset + Cuebiq + Near + Reveal Mobile + Unacast + Gravy Analytics + Onemata) ship per-tenant flat aggregated visit-count primitives derived from mobile device-IDs + opt-in SDK data + Wi-Fi access points + BLE beacons + cellular MNO data. The four-skill bundle on the franchise-development agent — Ingest, Resolve, Enrich, Audit — sits above the 10+-vendor mobility-data substrate and writes a per-trade-area canonical record. The operationally distinctive anchor: CCPA 1798.140(v)(1) + CPRA classify precise geolocation as sensitive personal information requiring opt-in. Washington MHMDA 2024 + Texas SCOPE Act 2024 + per-state biometric (Illinois BIPA + Texas CUBI + Washington biometric) impose additional constraints when foot-traffic data derives from device-ID at health/wellness facility or biometric proxy. Apple App Tracking Transparency iOS 14.5 IDFA opt-in plus Google Privacy Sandbox change the supply of mobile-location data. FDD Item 19 Financial Performance Representation requires Pfizer 1972 substantiation when foot-traffic data substantiates franchise revenue claims to franchisee prospects.
- Why do Placer.ai + SafeGraph + Foursquare + Veraset + Cuebiq + Near + Reveal Mobile break at franchise-development scale with privacy + FDD substantiation overlay?
- Each mobility-data vendor ships a per-tenant flat aggregated visit-count primitive: a franchise developer logs in, sees a trade-area dashboard, exports a CSV. None resolves cross-vendor identity-resolution across Placer.ai (weekly refresh + k=5 anonymization) + SafeGraph (monthly + daily aggregation) + Foursquare (quarterly) + Veraset (daily) with per-vendor differential privacy + k-anonymity + l-diversity reconciliation. None enriches per-trade-area with geographic taxonomy (ZIP + Census Tract + Block Group + Place + County + MSA + DMA + Drive Time + Drive Distance + Custom Polygon + Esri Demographics). None gates per-trade-area against the 5-anchor regulatory overlay (CCPA/CPRA sensitive-personal-information precise-geolocation + Washington MHMDA + Texas SCOPE Act + BIPA/CUBI + 18-state privacy + Apple ATT + Google Privacy Sandbox + GDPR Article 9 + EU AI Act Article 22 + FDD Item 19 FPR substantiation + ECOA disparate-impact). None writes a per-trade-area audit trail with FDD Item 19 substantiation chain for franchise-prospect disclosure. The four-skill bundle Ingest + Resolve + Enrich + Audit sits above the mobility-vendor surface — it does not replace it.
- How does Ingest + Resolve work across 10+ mobility-data vendors?
- Ingest runs per-portfolio per-banner per-trade-area concurrent polling across the mobility-data substrate: Placer.ai weekly refresh + SafeGraph monthly + Foursquare quarterly + Veraset daily + Cuebiq + Near + Reveal Mobile + Unacast + Gravy Analytics + Onemata + Spire Global + cellular MNO (AT&T Boost + Verizon Business Intelligence + T-Mobile Customer Analytics + Vista Insights) + Google Mobility Reports + Apple Mobility Trends + Foursquare Pilgrim SDK + Adsquare + Tamoco + Mobilewalla mobile-SDK + Aruba/Cisco Meraki/Purple WiFi/Cloud4Wi venue Wi-Fi + StreetMetrics/Bluedot/Gimbal/Estimote/Kontakt.io/Beaconstac/Radius Networks BLE. Per-vendor source attribution + per-vendor data-license + per-vendor data-source-attestation + per-vendor differential-privacy + per-vendor k-anonymity + per-vendor l-diversity. Resolve runs cross-vendor identity-resolution: per-trade-area cross-vendor visit-count reconciliation with per-vendor minimum cell-size for privacy + per-vendor de-identification standard + per-vendor opt-in framework attestation (Apple ATT IDFA + Google Privacy Sandbox + per-SDK opt-in flow + per-mobile-SDK SDK License Agreement). Per-trade-area geographic taxonomy resolution (ZIP + Census Tract + Block Group + Place + County + MSA + DMA + per-trade-area Drive Time + Drive Distance + Custom Polygon + Esri Demographics).
- What does Enrich + Audit do?
- Enrich runs per-portfolio per-trade-area enrichment: per-trade-area demographics (Esri + Census + Acxiom + Experian Mosaic + Claritas PRIZM + Nielsen) + per-trade-area competitor density (Placer.ai chain points + Yelp Fusion + Google Business Profile + Foursquare Places) + per-trade-area co-tenancy (anchor + complement) + per-trade-area accessibility (drive-time + transit + walkability) + per-trade-area cannibalization scoring vs existing portfolio + per-trade-area Robinson-Patman territorial-pricing-discrimination flag when offer pricing varies across trade-areas + per-trade-area FDD Item 12 territorial-protection adjacency. Audit writes a per-trade-area WORM canonical record: per-vendor source attribution + per-vendor data-license attestation + per-vendor DPA + per-vendor differential-privacy + k-anonymity + l-diversity attestation + Apple ATT IDFA + Google Privacy Sandbox opt-in attestation + per-state sensitive-data disclosure compliance + GDPR Article 9 special category attestation when health-facility + EU AI Act Article 22 + Annex III high-risk attestation when AI-ML drives siting + FDD Item 19 Financial Performance Representation substantiation chain when foot-traffic substantiates franchise revenue claim + Pfizer 1972 substantiation + ECOA Regulation B disparate-impact audit when AI-ML siting routes by proxy correlating with protected class + Fair Housing Act analysis when franchise siting decision affects housing access.
