01What investors and site teams use GUS for

De-risk the decision before ground is broken.

GUS SQUID is the lead tool for site teams. Around it, the rest of the platform fills in market sizing, demand-side research and the macro picture for the IC.

Score a site

Switch on a discovery layer to read the city by opportunity, footfall or real-estate price first. Drop a pin, pick a business type, set a catchment. The composite 0 to 100 score returns in seconds, with the four signals you can open and weight.
