Address: __________________________ Observer: __________________
Counting point and rule: ______________________________________________
Count at the same entrance and repeat comparable sessions across days. Note disruptions. Do not infer sensitive personal traits about people passing by.
| Date & time | Minutes | Passers-by | Weather / event / access notes |
|---|---|---|---|
Example only: 84 people ÷ 30 minutes × 60 = 168 per observed hour. This is not a daily count or a sales forecast. Passing, entering and buying are different measures.
What needs another visit? __________________________________________________
Site A: ________________________ Site B: ________________________
□ Permitted use and required approvals checked with a qualified local professional
□ Ventilation / extraction route, water, drainage and electrical capacity checked
□ Written rent, deposit, maintenance, escalation and fit-out obligations obtained
□ Customer access, signage, crossing barriers, waste and delivery arrangements checked
If a requirement is unresolved, mark it unknown and investigate. A high score does not override a deal-breaker.
| Criterion | Weight | A (1–5) | B (1–5) | Evidence / unknowns |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Customer fit | 30% | |||
| Visibility & access | 25% | |||
| Total occupancy cost | 25% | |||
| Operational fit | 20% |
Suggested weights only: adjust to your format before scoring; weights should total 100%. Score 1 = weak, 3 = acceptable, 5 = strong. Unknown is not zero: investigate before calculating a final result.
Worked example: A (4,3,2,4) = 4×0.30 + 3×0.25 + 2×0.25 + 4×0.20 = 3.25/5. B (3,4,4,3) = 3.50/5. These are fictional scores, not recommendations for real premises.
