Noble Rot's 3 sites, and the ~120 London venues that share their DNA. Raise the bar, or narrow to what might be gettable.
A heritage wine-restaurant that recycles faded institutions into characterful rooms — central, premium, characterful streets, target unit ~250 m². We backtested the vector against their own three sites (all Grade II listed — Lamb's Conduit, Soho, Mayfair); they land in the top ~4–9% of ~11k scored venues.
Operator type, listed grade, new-build, size band, tenure, availability signals (voids / insolvency / change-of-use / recent EPC) and spacing from existing sites are tags, not part of the score — realism you shape on the map, not a hard gate. A chain in a great listed building is still a nice site to see, and some come to market. Only hard filter: consumer venues (drops canteens / caterers / institutions).
