West Texas Location Thesis Scoring Readiness 2026
Visual Readiness Gate
Purpose
This analysis audits evidence coverage for West Texas geography pages that may later support Multifamily Location Thesis Scoring inputs. It does not assign final numeric ratings, 0-100 location scores, or investment conclusions. Remaining gaps are evidence gaps, not negative investment calls. Final scores require a later scoring workflow that applies the scoring model to asset-specific facts.

Evidence-Section Audit
Verified on 2026-05-05 against data/location_thesis/west_texas_market_backfill_inventory.csv: all 5 pages marked backfilled contain ## Location Thesis Evidence. Exceptions: none.
Cross-Market Read
The West Texas branch now has standardized evidence-readiness sections for location-thesis review. The material is suitable for screening and IC-prep triage, but final scoring still requires parcel-level proof for safety, supply, physical risk, municipal execution, school fit where relevant, and buyer / lender liquidity.
