Use cases

What it unlocks

For an agent

A commercial real-estate intelligence agent queries ADW-114 across its six covered metro composites and, when a city's Urban Activity Pulse score exceeds 70 and shows a rising trend, it automatically triggers a market-opportunity brief — pulling the IOM's top_drivers field to identify whether transit ridership, foot-traffic, or restaurant/venue activity is leading the recovery — and queues the insight for a site-selection analyst workflow. The confidence field gates the action: if confidence falls below 0.75 due to sparse input data for a given week, the agent holds the brief and flags it for human review instead.

📈

For the business

A retail-expansion director at a national chain uses ADW-114 to rank their six target metros by weekly activity pulse before committing to lease negotiations; a city sitting at score 65.8 and trending flat signals to hold negotiations, while a rising peer city signals to accelerate. This replaces a patchwork of foot-traffic vendor reports (each covering only some metros, each with a different methodology) with a single standardized, comparable index across markets, cutting the time to produce a metro-ranking brief from two analyst-days to minutes.

Recommended use
Track aggregate urban-activity momentum across major US metros. Score 50 = cities at own baselines; >65 = broad above-trend urban activity. Descriptive composite; not a GDP indicator.
