  • Potential gaps in the data that when filled could lead to better decision making

Analytics Led Approach

  • Unified view of multiple data sources
  • Correlation Analysis Information Value Analysis
  • Sub Market Clustering, Logistic Regression Model
  • Key Driver Impact Analysis, Amenity Impact Analysis
  • Integrated data view, Mathematical Model
