The HCA Opportunity Score is a deterministic 0–100 screening score. It ranks vacant parcels using fixed county-data rules so a developer can quickly identify which properties deserve attention first. It is not an AI guess and it does not confirm buildability.

Important: The score measures screening priority, not verified buildability. Floodplain, wetlands, zoning requirements, frontage/access, utilities, setbacks, soils/septic, easements, title restrictions and conservation constraints still require due diligence.
