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.
