For site selectors
Narrow the list faster, and defend the short list.
Which locations deserve to make the client's short list, and what evidence supports that?
Site selection is the same analytical question asked against different geographies under a deadline. MIQ Studio compares candidate markets on labor availability, wages, occupational depth, commuting patterns and industry ecosystem, then produces the comparison report and the client-ready location brief.
Location screening
- Compare candidate regions on labor, wages, workforce availability, industry concentration, demographics and economic conditions.
- Narrow a long list down to the locations that justify deeper investigation.
Workforce analysis
- Evaluate occupational availability across candidates.
- Compare wage structures.
- Examine the competing employers already drawing on that labor pool.
- Analyze commuting patterns and labor sheds.
- Identify where the required skills actually exist.
Industry ecosystem analysis
- Identify suppliers, customers and related industries.
- Measure cluster strength.
- Compare industry specialization across candidate markets.
Client deliverables
- Generate market comparison reports.
- Produce location briefs as PowerPoint.
- Create the executive summary supporting the recommendation.
- Deliver with your organization's name and logo, ready for the client.
Rapid response research
A client asks what happens if they add four hundred advanced manufacturing jobs in one metro rather than another. MIQ Studio produces the first analytical pass instead of an analyst assembling datasets by hand.
