      Overview

      The Synergy Grid shows the influence a variable has on an individual site's Zeustimate compared to its average influence for your entire portfolio or for a specific group of existing sites. Variables include demographics, site attributes, customer behaviors, traffic, and more.

      How to access the Synergy Grid

      1. Select sites by clicking on an individual site, using the Lasso Location Search to choose up to 10 sites, or pinning up to 10 locations.
      2. Click the reporting icon on the left side of the screen and select Synergy Grid.

      Using the Synergy Grid

      • Revenue subcategories: If there are revenue subcategories in the model, you can select which one you want to analyze in the top-left corner. All subcategories will be included by default.

      • Trade area: You can select different trade area sizes in the top-middle section of the screen to visualize how variables perform with different trade-area radiuses.

      Note: The thumbs-up trade area is available to Synergy clients. It displays the trade area for the variables with the highest correlation score.

      • Filtering: Use this feature to view only the data for certain sites:
