As Geek.Zone looks toward acquiring physical space across its districts, we need a standard method by which we can judge the suitability of each property. The following general requirements should be suitable regardless of geography.
!Criteria

!!Scoring
It is essential that a potential property fulfils all of the fundamental “Must” requirements in order to be considered.
||Standard Achieved|Score
“Must” is missing|0
“Must”|1
“Must” AND “Should”|2
“Must” AND “Should” AND “Could”|3||
For example, if the property is only near to a bus stop, it would score 1 for location. If it is near the bus station, however, it would receive 3 for location. Should the property be more than 400m away from a bus stop, however, it would score a total of 0, regardless of anything else.
