Long-run slide: down 15 EU ranks in real GDP per head since 1995 (relative decline, not absolute)

Why you might not pick Φωκίδα

Economic base (EU bottom 15%); Talent & skills (EU bottom 15%); Connectivity (EU bottom 15%); Industrial base (EU bottom 15%); Governance (EU bottom 15%). Its weakest dimension is Economic base (EU pctl 4) — Θεσπρωτία may suit a mandate that weights that higher.

How robust is this recommendation?

The leader depends on the mandate: Logistics → Φωκίδα · Manufacturing → Φωκίδα · Office → Θεσπρωτία · Residential → Θεσπρωτία.

Phase-2 diligence checklist

Site-level grid connection capacity and power pricing (beyond country-grain energy data)
Local incentives, tax regimes and permitting timelines
Workforce depth for your specific roles (the talent pillar is a proxy)
Real-estate availability, rents and land — public pan-EU data stops at the Nordics

This is a mandate-neutral read. To weight the pillars to your thesis, run these regions through the Site Screener — it ranks all 1,211 regions under your weights and exports the full PDF. First-pass macro screening, not investment advice.
