Decision brief

Download brief (PDF)mandate-neutral · ranked by overall opportunity

Best overall fit: Płocki (Opportunity 49). Runner-up: Østfold (45). Contrarian pick: Østfold — leads the set on Energy cost (EU pctl 100).

Why you might not pick Płocki

Governance (EU bottom 15%); Resilience (EU bottom 15%). Its weakest dimension is Resilience (EU pctl 10) — Østfold may suit a mandate that weights that higher.

How robust is this recommendation?

The leader depends on the mandate: Logistics → Płocki · Manufacturing → Płocki · Office → Østfold · Residential → Østfold.

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.
