Cornerproof scores café blocks in four Manhattan study areas and one Downtown Brooklyn study area, and shows the evidence and gaps behind every score. Ratings use dated public data on offices, transit, residents, nearby cafés and other signals. Missing evidence is named, never counted as zero. The map is free with an account, and your first block unlock is free. Three more unlocks are $49, and a full report is $99. London rankings are experimental, unvalidated, and have no report on sale.

Could you build this?
Partial The map and scoring UI is vibe-codeable, but credible block scores depend on integrating many dated public datasets and a defensible scoring methodology that requires urban-data expertise.
What it would actually take: Build a data pipeline that ingests NYC and Brooklyn open data (office occupancy, transit ridership, census residents, business listings, and POI data) into a geospatial database such as PostGIS, then computes block-level scores with a transparent weighting model. The hard parts are harmonizing datasets with different vintages and geographies, and defining a scoring model that flags missing evidence rather than assigning zeros. This needs GIS and urban-analytics expertise plus ongoing data refresh.
