RCMarket Triage
Risk Index Methodology
The Risk Index is market-level triage for data-center entitlement conditions. It is not parcel scoring.
For data-center development, strategy, site-selection, and capital teams comparing market posture before picking specific sites.
What it scores
The index scores market-level regulatory risk, infrastructure readiness, opposition density, and approval timeline using public records and researched case files.
What it does not score
It does not decide whether a parcel is viable. Parcel-specific findings belong in a Phase-Zero memo with the exact site, use, scale, and local record.
How to use it
Use the index to decide where a deeper first-pass memo is most urgent. A clear market can still have a bad parcel; a hard market can still have a narrow viable path.
