- The page says its former café baseline was ¥2 million, versus a cited ¥410,000 average for one-to-four-person shops.
Field notes
The homepage lays out the source data by role: census figures for population, the Economic Census for sales baselines by industry and employee count, and public land-price and zoning data for location context. It also distinguishes modeled people-flow adjustments from measured inputs, noting that measured people-flow data is not connected. The café example cites 2021 Economic Census figures and warns that existing-store averages do not predict the outcome of a new shop.
