What else should you know about MarketStudyBuddy?

Is the score a sales forecast?

No. It ranks how well a market suits the format being sited. Use it to compare candidate markets; it does not forecast unit sales.

Can I set it up for our format specifically?

Yes. Alongside the eight presets you can define your own format, and it is saved for everybody in your organization so every territory is screened the same way.

How many addresses can I run at once?

Paste a list and each address becomes its own study in one batch. Fair-use limits currently sit at fifty studies per rolling day per organization.
