47 vs 23
coffee competitors, Austin vs Denver, same demographics
Two cities, same coffee shop, very different odds
Austin looks perfect on paper: high income, strong foot traffic. A report maps 47 competitors across the metro. Denver shows half the competition with similar demographics and lower rent. That is the difference between a price war and a head start.

Before you buy
Questions people ask first
Short answers. One report is $59.99, no subscription.
An interactive report in your dashboard and two PDFs: a three-page Quick Report and the full Lender Report. Inside: your Neur Score™ out of 100 with its five pillars and what would raise it, a competitor map with recommended zones, local demographics and labor data, a financial estimate with break-even, and a step-by-step action plan for your business in your state.
The data is public; the score is ours. The Neur Score™ is Neur's own model: five weighted pillars built from US Census, Bureau of Labor Statistics and Google Maps data plus Neur's operating models for 108 industries. It is an estimate, not a prediction. It is most useful for comparing cities or ideas and for spotting problems before you sign a lease. Every number shows its source, and the report tells you which inputs would move the score.
No. You pay first with Apple Pay, Google Pay or a card. Your account is created from the email you use at checkout, and you sign in with a link sent to that address.
Yes. The Lender Report is built for that: a lender snapshot with startup capital, financing gap, expected revenue and break-even, an applicant page from your answers, and the data behind every figure. It is formatted as the market-research section of an SBA or bank application: every figure sourced and dated.
Unused reports are refunded within 7 days of purchase. Once a report has been generated it is yours to keep and is not refundable, except when generation fails, in which case the report is returned to your account automatically.
Seven questions, about five minutes. The report is ready a few minutes later and stays in your dashboard. Each purchase covers one business in one city; the three-report pack is for comparing cities or ideas.
