Stratara reads every U.S. metro and county through eight diagnostic spokes — investment, market heat, growth, people, housing, quality of life, safety, and climate risk. Each spoke is composed of three sub-composites, deciled against the national distribution, and grounded in primary-source data from Census, BLS, BEA, FEMA, EPA, FHFA, and the Federal Reserve.
We do not publish opinion. We publish percentile rank, regime position, and trajectory — then wrap each in a templated analyst sentence the underwriter can copy into a memo.
Each metro is plotted on an eight-spoke radar with a peer band overlay, sub-composite anatomy, and a templated analyst paragraph. Renaming any spoke invalidates every saved watchlist, the SNW narrative dictionary, and every memo cite — so the eight are the analytical contract.
Underneath the radar sits a flat, citable framework of demand drivers — the public/private actors and physical signals that accumulate to produce a market read. This is what we measure before we score.
Every score is a national rank, not an opinion. We compute composite-of-composites, decile within geo_type, and surface percentile in prose — never a number we can’t cite.
An SNW Narrative Engine — 100 templates × 17 voice phrases per band — wraps every metro × spoke read in a 1–3 sentence paragraph the underwriter can copy into a memo. The prose declares confidence and never invents precision below the metric’s precision floor.
Weekly composite snapshots feed a regime classifier (Recovery / Expansion / Late-Cycle / Contraction) plus tier-crossing detection per spoke. The History tab plots the eight-spoke decile heatmap over time so regime breaks are visible, not buried.
Census, BLS, BEA, FEMA, EPA, FHFA, FRED, DOT, FCC, CDC, USA Spending, Zillow. No data brokers, no proprietary aggregators — every cell is citable to its original public release.
Below is the actual SNW narrative engine output for the Atlanta metro — generated from live percentile data via 100 templates and the voice library. The same surface renders for every spoke on every metro at /markets/atlanta-sandy-springs.
Atlanta–Sandy Springs–Roswell's Anchors ranks among the strongest nationally, registering in the 78th percentile of U.S. metros. The cohort is short — Delta, UPS, Home Depot, the CDC, and Emory Healthcare anchor a deep employer base. The position is structurally durable.
On Infrastructure, Atlanta–Sandy Springs–Roswell leads the national field; as of Q1 2026, the composite sits in the 82nd percentile. Hartsfield-Jackson, MARTA expansion, and broadband coverage all clear the top-quintile threshold. The read is unambiguously strong.
Atlanta–Sandy Springs–Roswell's Quality of Life sits in the 54th percentile, a neutral read that has softened modestly over the trailing 24 months. Affordability is the binding constraint; commute times and bifurcated school quality round out the mid-pack read.
