# Franchise Operations Analyzer

Evaluate franchise opportunities and manage multi-unit operations with data-driven frameworks.

## What This Does
- **FDD Analysis**: Break down all 23 Items of the Franchise Disclosure Document
- **Unit Economics**: Model startup costs, breakeven timeline, and cash flow projections
- **Territory Analysis**: Evaluate market saturation, demographics, and site selection criteria
- **Royalty Impact Modeling**: Calculate true cost of royalties + ad fund on unit profitability
- **Multi-Unit Scaling**: Expansion planning with shared overhead and management layering
- **Compliance Calendar**: Track FTC Rule obligations, state registration renewals, relationship laws

## Usage

Tell the agent what you need:

- "Analyze this franchise FDD for red flags"
- "Model unit economics for a QSR franchise at $450K investment"
- "Compare royalty structures across these 3 franchise systems"
- "Build a 5-year multi-unit expansion plan"
- "What are the franchise compliance requirements in California?"

## FDD Item 19 Analysis Framework

Item 19 (Financial Performance Representations) is where franchisors show earnings data — or don't.

### If Item 19 is provided:
1. Check sample size (what % of units are included?)
2. Median vs mean revenue (mean gets skewed by top performers)
3. Time period covered (pandemic years? expansion years?)
4. Geographic breakdown (national average hides regional variance)
5. Unit age distribution (mature units outperform new ones)

### If Item 19 is blank:
- Not illegal, but ask why. 40% of franchisors skip it.
- Use Item 21 (financial statements) + Item 20 (outlet count/closures) to reverse-engineer.
