Administrative data provides the map, but not the terrain. We recommend three specific validation steps for Columbus:
Does the local population age or income level explain the "Supply Gaps"? (e.g., A gap in luxury services may be due to lower local income).
Verify local licensing requirements. High barriers to entry often protect "High Yield" sectors from new competition.
Investigate the "Momentum" sectors. Are existing businesses thriving, or is the growth due to high turnover and failure rates?
