How this is built. Positions come from source-verified records in the FRANticc dataset — India's provenance-first franchise data platform. Every figure is traceable to a named source, tiered S1 (brand-official) to S7 (estimated, labelled as such). Network positions use only store counts with a documented source; customer response is the review-count-weighted average of documented Google review samples across Indian states. Brands whose network totals conflict across sources are excluded from the map rather than plotted — FRANticc fails closed on bad data. Not an investment recommendation.
BrandFit asks 6 visual questions about your operator profile, capital, location, and risk appetite โ then ranks all 182 brands by predicted success-fit for your specific situation. shows up where it actually fits, not just where it can afford.
