Nashville, using only what was public before 30 April 2026.
In April there was no coverage, no rezoning, no permit, no deed and no opposition. Nothing to measure. The project's search term sat at zero for thirty-nine weeks, then hit its peak in fourteen days.
The conditions were public for years. The parcel sat beside a civic institution with a million visitors a year, mid-expansion, just cut from the state budget, on 188 acres owned by the city whose approval the project needed. That was visible on a parcel map months before the land changed hands.
The screen returns flagged conditions and the evidence behind each. The number comes later.
| Site Favorability screen | Local Sentiment Index | |
|---|---|---|
| When | Before an option is signed | Once a project is public |
| Reads | Ownership, adjacency, approval path, utility and political context | Public record and what residents say and search |
| Returns | Flagged conditions, sourced | A 0 to 100 score, re-scored weekly |
Run the screen on every parcel. Run the index on the ones that survive. A condition we could not check is reported as unchecked, never as clear.
Once the parcel clears and the project is announced, the county becomes the most important party.
