In one sentence: Mondays at 08:00, in Los Angeles, find parks, universities and business centers in the area, get the 7-day weather forecast, score and rank them with xMap AI, sort them by fit score and keep the top 5, then email the list to you.
Why it is useful
A food truck lives on footfall and fair weather. The week is planned around both.

The time it saves
Mondays at 08:00. Doing the same work by hand takes about 45 minutes each time; it runs about 4 times a month, so it saves about 3 hours a month (an estimate). It is medium: 7 blocks.
