Where to open my next law office
The best districts for your next law office, with a memo for the partners.
What it does
Every quarter: districts of your city scored by the courts, banks, offices and coworking spaces within 1 km, with the people who live there, the best five written up by xMap AI for the partners and mapped.
In one sentence: Monthly on the 1st at 08:00, in São Paulo, find business centers, coworking spaces and corporate offices in the area, count the courthouses, banks and law firms within 1 km of each, count who lives around, score and rank them with xMap AI, sort them by fit score and keep the top 5, write a report with xMap AI, then show them on a map and email the list to you.
Why it is useful
Clients and courts decide where an office works. This flow scores every business hub by what is around it, so the partners choose from facts.

The time it saves
Monthly on the 1st at 08:00. Doing the same work by hand takes about 300 minutes each time; it runs about 1 time a month, so it saves about 5 hours a month (an estimate). It is medium: 10 blocks.

How to set it up
- Build your first flow in ten minutes: From a blank page to a flow that emails you a ranked list every morning.
- Ask the map a question: How many of a kind of place, how many people for each, and where the gaps are, answered on the spot.
- Count what is around each of your places: Competitors, footfall magnets or services within a distance of each site.
- Compare sites side by side: Two or three spots measured the same way, one column each, the best of every row marked and the best site and why.
- Location intelligence: Using where things are, and what is around them, to make business decisions.
- Site selection: Choosing where to open a store, branch, clinic or facility.
- How to score candidate store sites: Compare sites on residents, competitors and neighbours, with an AI score and a reason.
