Why you might not pick Granada

Labour market (EU bottom 15%); Industrial base (EU bottom 15%). Its weakest dimension is Labour market (EU pctl 5) — Cádiz may suit a mandate that weights that higher.

How robust is this recommendation?

Granada leads under all four archetype mandates — the recommendation is weight-stable.

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.
