What separates fast from slow
Supply pipeline pressure
p<0.001 — top separator. Fast hexes have low pipeline density.
Distance to metro
p<0.001 — closer is faster.
Lifestyle density
Restaurants & schools within walking radius (p<0.05).
Gross rental yield (inverse)
Lower yield = prestige = faster absorption.
What the cohort does NOT predict
Within Azra's 21-mate KMeans cluster (same hex, same SKU, same tier),
~49% of absorption variance is unobserved — broker channel, brand
equity, and funnel conversion. Pins show what peers did, not
what Azra will do.
