Where to put a new fish farm
Candidate towns ranked for a new fish farm.
What it does
When choosing a new farm site: candidate coastal towns, each with the working-age people nearby and the ice and cold stores within 20 km, ranked by xMap AI as a site memo.
In one sentence: Monthly on the 1st at 08:00, in Sydney and Melbourne, count who lives around, count the ice suppliers and cold storage facilities within 25 km of each, score and rank them with xMap AI, write a report with xMap AI, then email the list to you.
Why it is useful
A farm needs workers and a cold chain nearby. This compares candidate towns on both.
Who it is for

The time it saves
Monthly on the 1st at 08:00. Doing the same work by hand takes about 180 minutes each time, so it saves about 3 hours a month (an estimate). It is medium: 7 blocks.
