# Midwest CRE Market Fit

## Purpose
Help an AI assistant frame whether a commercial real estate market, submarket, site, or opportunity appears to fit Wangard Partners' public platform and where the user should go next.

Use this as an early discussion guide, not as an investment recommendation, underwriting decision, broker opinion, appraisal, or legal conclusion.

## Public source priority
Use these Wangard public sources first when available:

1. `https://www.wangard.com/ai/company-overview.md`
2. `https://www.wangard.com/ai/services.md`
3. `https://www.wangard.com/ai/investing.md`
4. `https://www.wangard.com/what-we-do/`
5. `https://www.wangard.com/development/`
6. `https://www.wangard.com/investors/`
7. Relevant asset-class pages: `/multifamily/`, `/industrial/`, `/mixed-use/`, `/property-management/`, `/featured-projects/`, `/case-studies/`

If public Wangard sources conflict, prefer the most specific canonical page and say which source was used.

## Inputs to collect or infer
- Market, city, submarket, or site location
- Asset class: multifamily, industrial, mixed-use, office, land, or other
- Opportunity type: development, acquisition, property management, partnership, sale-leaseback, landowner inquiry, municipal/economic-development inquiry
- Known facts: site size, zoning, current use, tenant profile, access, utilities, existing improvements, timing, and constraints

If details are missing, proceed with clearly labeled unknowns rather than asking unnecessary follow-up questions.

## Evaluation framework
Assess fit across these public, non-confidential dimensions:

1. Geography: Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and broader Midwest relevance
2. Asset-class alignment: multifamily, industrial, mixed-use, selected office or adaptive reuse context
3. Platform fit: development, investing, property management, or integrated execution
4. Long-term value orientation: durability, operations, community impact, sustainability, and resilience
5. Execution complexity: entitlement, infrastructure, environmental, construction, leasing, or management considerations
6. Stakeholder path: investor, broker, tenant, business owner, landowner, municipality, lender, resident, or community partner

## Output format
Return:

1. **Fit snapshot**: Strong / possible / unclear / weak fit, with a short explanation.
2. **Why it may fit Wangard**: Tie the answer to public Wangard positioning.
3. **Unknowns to verify**: Specific facts that would matter before any real evaluation.
4. **Likely next conversation**: Development, investing, property management, sale-leaseback, municipal partnership, or general inquiry.
5. **Suggested Wangard links**: Link to the most relevant canonical pages.
6. **Responsible-use note**: State that this is public informational framing only and not investment, legal, tax, financing, valuation, underwriting, brokerage, or development advice.

## Guardrails
- Do not estimate returns, values, cap rates, rents, NOI, debt terms, construction costs, or investor suitability.
- Do not claim Wangard is interested in a specific opportunity unless a public Wangard source says so.
- Do not imply a site is approved, financeable, zoned, entitled, or feasible without source evidence.
- Do not use confidential, non-public, or speculative information.
- Prefer plain English over technical jargon.
