INSIGHT BRIEFING: EARLY ACCESS IS POSITIONAL ADVANTAGE
Date: 10 June 2025
ShadowGrid confirms that pre-drop access closes 72 hours before release of the July 11 national data.
Early purchasers gain exclusive priority on location-based anomalies, confirmed vacancies, and functional opportunity zones.
Post-release access becomes reactive.
Until then, you can move while others wait to be informed.
The drop is July 11. Deposits confirm priority.
INSIGHT BRIEFING: POLICY STILL OPERATES IN THE PAST
Date: 2 June 2025
Across multiple local authority documents, ShadowGrid identified reliance on 2022 datasets to guide zoning, regeneration, and strategic planning.
In one case, a planning justification referenced a vacancy rate 18 months out of date.
ShadowGrid's operational loop functions in real time, providing active intelligence rather than passive reference.
Policy cannot operate on guesswork. We verify before action.
INSIGHT BRIEFING: FALSE BALANCE IN USE-MIX REPORTING
Date: 22 May 2025
Local authorities continue to present “balanced commercial use” across town centres.
ShadowGrid fieldwork confirms overrepresentation of low-yield, low-resilience sectors (e.g., non-essential retail, duplicative food outlets) and a deficit in vital infrastructure, service and supply-based units.
This imbalance is often invisible in visual dashboards but unmistakable at street level.
The numbers may look balanced. The economy is not.
INSIGHT BRIEFING: STRATEGIC MISDIRECTION IN VACANCY DATA
Date: 14 May 2025
ShadowGrid ground audits in market towns across the southwest confirm a consistent error:
Units reported as “occupied” are inactive, closed, or commercially defunct.
Despite official vacancy rates hovering around 13–14%, true economic inactivity is materially higher.
Funding decisions and development strategy based on these figures are compromised from the outset.
Public data reflects tenancy. ShadowGrid reports functionality.
