Traditional diligence was not built for retail expansion
Critical decisions are made with incomplete information
Before a diligence budget is available, real estate teams must evaluate sites and negotiate investigation periods and protections without knowing the major risks or approval timeline, often with sellers who know the property better.
Legacy providers are slow, inconsistent, and unreliable
Retail teams rely on a patchwork of local firms whose turnaround, cost, and quality vary by market and shifting capacities, making nationwide execution expensive and challenging.
Problems found late consume the resources needed to hit opening targets
Lean real estate and development teams manage aggressive pipelines with limited internal capacity. When risks surface after a site has already advanced, time and budget get tied up in locations that stall or die instead of moving viable sites toward opening.
