Scores are deterministic screening signals from disclosed FDD fields. Growth ranking excludes bases below 10 outlets, adjacent changes above +200% or below -60%, flow mismatches, and review-flagged history. Raw values remain visible. Sales / investment is not ROI, cash flow, valuation, or a recommendation.
