How to read the result

The headline score is a weighted average — but the per-axis bars are what you actually act on. A 78 overall with Connectivity at 60 and Financial fit at 95 is a very different decision than a 78 with Financial fit at 60 and everything else at 80. The first profile is "Davao works, just budget for a UPS and a backup SIM." The second is "Davao works only if the housing target shrinks."

The "Why no" lines call out exactly which axes are dragging the score. They are written as direct advice, not generic warnings. If walkability or healthcare specialists show up there, treat them as concrete things to verify before signing a lease — not future problems to deal with later.

How to use the recommended neighborhoods

The top neighborhood pick is the highest-confidence match from the five with published LiveDavao guides. The second and third picks are usually where the interesting trade-offs live — a slightly longer commute for materially better walkability, or a higher rent band for measurably lower flood risk. Read all three guides before locking a search radius.

When the verdict says "probably not Davao"

The verdict is not a permanent answer. It is "with these specific inputs, the numbers and lifestyle do not align." The fix is almost always concrete — drop from a 3BR house target to a 1BR condo, raise income before the move, swap "AC 24/7" for "AC sleep-only" and pick a higher-elevation neighborhood. Re-run the tool with the changed inputs and watch the score move. That is the instrument doing its job: it makes the trade-offs visible before you sign anything.
