READ IT AS
One signal in the workflow, not the whole answer.

A rank is useful because it compresses one dimension well, but it never replaces the fuller suburb-level picture.

Move into compare or suburb detail once a few names repeat.

Use the ranking to build a shortlist, then confirm whether those finalists still hold up on the rest of the data.

VERIFY evidence
Single-signal shortlist screen

A ranking compresses one signal well, but it should hand you into compare or suburb detail before becoming a decision.

Save a small working set, then use compare and evidence depth before treating any row as a decision.

Shortlist flow
Use #1 Cooloola Cove (4580) and #2 Esk (4312) as the first compare pair.
