Your read
—25% of the scoreNothing is written for this market yet, so the score above is the public data and nothing else. A read of your own is for the SPECIFIC, CHECKABLE events that move a market before they reach a government series — a fabricator breaking ground, a port expansion, a rail spur, an entitlement that just cleared, a single tenant taking a million feet.
Worth 25% here, and reserved for it: a read of your own changes your firm’s view of this market and nothing else — the public score stays exactly as it is. Writing one is not open yet.
