1 in 5 businesses worldwide fail because of location. Not the idea. Not the execution. The street they picked. Locus is an AI system that investigates a location before you sign the lease. Drop a pin, describe your business idea, and 8 specialized agents built on Claude Opus 4.7 go to work using the Managed Agents API. The Cartographer pulls competitor and places data. The Observer fetches real Street View images and uses Claude Vision to count foot traffic and read storefronts. The Ethnographer searches the web for who actually lives and spends money there. The Economist pulls live weather, income, and rent data to stress-test the numbers. The Historian reads real customer reviews to find needs nobody has met. The Orchestrator connects everything and drafts a verdict. Then the Adversary attacks it, re-dispatching any of the other agents mid-investigation to dig deeper into specific gaps. The Judge delivers the final answer, every risk named. And if the location is wrong, Locus finds you a better street. Validated against 20 real-world cases with known outcomes. 17 of them were correct.
