The real ecosystem this sits above
Score + Personalize + Gate + Audit does not replace the mobility-data vendors, CRE listing platforms, or CRM. It consumes the canonical from #572 and coordinates per-prospect FDD substantiation chain with named anchors.

Compliance overlay

6-workstream reporting cycle
Every two weeks during a Tier 3 Fractional CMO engagement, six workstreams report against the pre-engagement baseline. No forecast accuracy claims. Process commitments only.
- 1. Per-portfolio trade-area canonical coverage. Territories monitored from #572 + CRE listing + demographics + competitor density.
- 2. Score 12-dimension distribution. Per-territory composite + per-vertical applicability + ADA + ATT/PS attestation + differential-privacy.
- 3. Personalize per-prospect customization flow. Per-prospect demographic + per-state registration + 14-day pre-sale countdown + advertising filing + Right-to-Cancel + FDD delivery via DocuSign/HelloSign/Adobe Sign.
- 4. Gate-pass/gate-fail distribution. Per-anchor gate-fail + FDD Item 19 + 14-state pre-sale + Sherman Act + ECOA + EU AI Act.
- 5. Regulatory-defense audit coverage. FDD Item 19 + NASAA Commentary 2017 + 14-state franchise + 14-day pre-sale + FTC Franchise Rule 16 CFR 436 + Sherman Act + Colgate + ECOA + Fair Housing + EU AI Act Article 22 + SOX.

FAQ
- What is per-prospect franchise territory analysis pipeline — and what is the FDD-Item-19-FPR-substantiation-times-14-day-disclosure problem distinctive to this skill?
- A franchisor selling franchise opportunities receives per-prospect inquiries about specific territories. Each prospect needs a per-territory analysis with foot-traffic + competitive density + demographics + co-tenancy + accessibility + cannibalization scoring + Robinson-Patman territorial-pricing flag + FDD Item 12 adjacency. The four-skill bundle on the franchise-development agent — Score, Personalize, Gate, Audit — consumes the canonical per-trade-area record from #572 continuous foot-traffic ingestion + CRE listing substrate (CoStar + LoopNet + Reonomy + CompStak + Crexi + Real Capital Analytics) + demographics + competitor density + CRM substrate (Salesforce + HubSpot + Pipedrive) and writes a per-prospect canonical record. The operationally distinctive anchor: FDD Item 19 Financial Performance Representation substantiation when foot-traffic + competitive density + demographic substantiates franchise revenue claim + Pfizer 1972 substantiation standard + NASAA Commentary on FPRs 2017. Per-state franchise pre-sale disclosure timing (FDD delivered 14 calendar days before signing per FTC Franchise Rule 16 CFR 436.2(a)). 14-state franchise registration (California + Hawaii + Illinois + Indiana + Maryland + Michigan + Minnesota + New York + North Dakota + Rhode Island + South Dakota + Virginia + Washington + Wisconsin). Per-state advertising filing for franchise opportunity sales. Per-state Right-to-Cancel.
- Why do Esri ArcGIS + CoStar + LoopNet + Reonomy + Salesforce + HubSpot break at franchise-FDD-substantiable territory analysis scale?
- Each geospatial vendor ships per-account flat trade-area analysis. Each CRE listing vendor ships flat property data. Each CRM ships flat opportunity tracking. None consumes the canonical per-trade-area foot-traffic record from #572 with per-vendor differential-privacy + k-anonymity + l-diversity attestation. None personalizes per-prospect with FDD Item 19 FPR substantiation chain + NASAA Commentary 2017 + Pfizer 1972 substantiation standard. None gates per-prospect against per-state franchise pre-sale disclosure timing (14-day FDD per FTC Franchise Rule 16 CFR 436.2(a)) + 14-state franchise registration + per-state advertising filing + per-state Right-to-Cancel + FDD Item 12 territorial-protection + Sherman Act + Colgate doctrine + ECOA Reg B disparate-impact + Fair Housing Act + EU AI Act Article 22 + Annex III. None writes a per-prospect audit trail with FDD substantiation chain for franchise-prospect disclosure. The four-skill bundle Score + Personalize + Gate + Audit sits above the geospatial + CRE + CRM substrate — it does not replace it.
- How does Score + Personalize work?
- Score consumes the canonical per-trade-area record from #572 + CRE listing (CoStar + LoopNet + Reonomy + CompStak + Crexi + Real Capital Analytics) + demographics (Esri Tapestry + Acxiom + Experian Mosaic + Claritas + Nielsen + Epsilon Abacus + LiveRamp + Census + ACS) + competitor density (Yelp Fusion + Google Business Profile + Foursquare Places). Per-territory 12-dimension composite: foot-traffic baseline + foot-traffic projection + competitor density + co-tenancy (anchor + complement) + accessibility (drive-time + transit + walkability) + demographic match to franchisor target + cannibalization vs existing portfolio + Robinson-Patman territorial-pricing flag + FDD Item 12 adjacency + accessibility ADA + Apple ATT/Google PS opt-in attestation + per-vendor differential-privacy attestation. Personalize runs per-prospect customization: prospect demographic + experience + capital + per-state franchise registration applicability + per-state pre-sale disclosure 14-day timing + per-state advertising filing requirement + per-state Right-to-Cancel + FDD delivery timestamp through DocuSign + HelloSign + Adobe Sign e-signature with 14-day countdown.
