Decision brief

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

Best overall fit: Vaud (Opportunity 71). Runner-up: Rogaland (54). Contrarian pick: Rogaland — leads the set on Energy cost (EU pctl 100).

Why you might not pick Vaud

Its weakest dimension is Labour market (EU pctl 33) — Rogaland may suit a mandate that weights that higher.

How robust is this recommendation?

The leader depends on the mandate: Logistics → Vaud · Manufacturing → Rogaland · Office → Vaud · Residential → Vaud.
