Developer notes
Sample analyst · Oct 18, 2026
Parking ratio is the swing input. At one stall per unit the podium grows a level and the yield misses the screen.
Sample sponsor · Oct 28, 2026
Dropped the count to 148 to hold a lower ratio without the extra level. Re-running the screen at today's rents.
