04Candidate optimisation
A shortlist you can interrogate.
Rank population-area centroids by expected coverage and equity benefit, compare a maximum-coverage and an equity-weighted strategy, and read the assumptions behind every score. This is a transparent greedy heuristic, not a proven global optimum.

Computing candidates
This release has no validated ward-level vulnerability indicator; equity weighting is disabled.

Strategy
Candidates are population-area centroids. Scores combine normalised coverage, equity-weighted coverage when a vulnerability indicator exists, and person-minutes saved. Changing the weights changes the ranking; the underlying accessibility calculation does not.
