## What else should you know about MarketStudyBuddy?

### Does it measure foot traffic?

No. There are no visit counts and no dwell times here. It measures who lives there, who works there, how far people can drive in a set time, and who already trades nearby.

### Can two sites go into one document?

Yes. A comparison puts several addresses through the same study and produces a single deck and workbook that rank them side by side.

### Can our analysts get the raw figures?

Yes. Every run exports a CSV, an Excel workbook with a sheet per section, and the trade-area geometry as map files.
