Alignment Shop 75071

Compare capabilities and delivery evidence. Source discovery, qualification, deployment and accepted outcomes are separate; an open contract names work still to verify.

A single-service wheel-alignment and ADAS-calibration business in McKinney Texas analyzed by the Nishi business engines vs the incumbent formats: tire chains, dealership service, general repair, mobile ADAS specialists -- Aug-2026 field

Overview

The purpose, declared position and evidence coverage of this domain. Source presence and completed acceptance are different measures.

Where we are. MEASURED 2026-08-19: this is a BUSINESS ANALYSIS domain, not a build lane -- the deliverable is a numbers-backed go or no-go. In tree and measured: the downside-gated deal engine (cf_kv), the GTM channel facade, the product decomposer. Mirrored: the equipment capital ladder, the consumer price band, the ADAS trigger and attach economics.

Where we need to go. OPERATOR ASK (2026-08-19): what can /compare do for an alignment-only business in 75071. The answer this page must earn: a measured market census for the McKinney trade area, per-bay unit economics from real inputs, the ADAS attach case, and a downside-gated entry decision (buy an existing shop vs greenfield vs do not enter) -- every figure regenerated from organs, never typed by a seat.

The unit. 1 u = one measured session-leg (organ plus gate plus live flip), the standing calibration.

Cost to a measured market census: 1.5 u. AB1: public-listing census of alignment and ADAS providers in the 75071 trade area with drive-time rings -- the local, semi-local scope rows.

Cost to unit economics and the ADAS attach case: 2 u more. AB2 composes price [alignprice], equipment lease [aligncost], cycle time [hunter] and attach [adasequip] into per-bay profit and loss. 3.5 u cumulative.

Cost to a downside-gated entry verdict: 1.5 u more. AB3 runs the P10 bad case on buy-vs-greenfield through the deal engine; the verdict prints its inputs. 5 u cumulative.

Research bar. The ADAS attach economics, the 2026 format wedge is measured on the documented per-procedure billing and multi-calibration vehicles. Theirs: calibrations bill in the hundreds of dollars each and one vehicle can need several [adasequip]. Ours: AB2 must price the focused alignment-plus-ADAS bay against the alignment-only bay and print which one clears the lease [aligncost].

Business case

Axis	Position	Figures	Decision
Investment	Entry capital is dominated by the aligner and the ADAS rig: 15,000 to 50,000-plus for the aligner alone plus subscriptions [aligncost], the calibration rig on top [adasequip]	AB2 prints the lease-clearing revenue line; nothing is committed before it	no equipment decision before the M0 numbers
Market	Consumer price band 100 to 175 dollars mainstream [alignprice]; the ADAS attach adds hundreds per qualifying vehicle [adasequip]; local density for 75071 is UNMEASURED until AB1 runs	the census is the first rung for a reason -- the wedge lives or dies on local supply	run AB1 before any further spend of attention
Opportunity cost	5 u of analysis against committing six figures blind; the same AB1-AB3 organs generalize to ANY local service business the operator considers next	the census, unit-econ and entry-verdict organs are the reusable local-business analysis kit	charge the kit to the business-analysis program; 75071 alignment is its first subject
Go to market	Fleet accounts, dealer overflow and direct retail are the candidate channels; the GTM facade ranks them once channel rows are admitted	the honest-quote gate (AB5) is the retail differentiator in a low-trust trade [adasalign]	lead with the printed before-measurement; fleets buy consistency, retail buys trust
Buy vs build	Buying an existing shop buys a customer list and a lease; greenfield buys location freedom at ramp risk	AB3 gates both paths on the P10 bad case through the live deal engine	neither path is chosen by taste -- the engine prints the verdict with its inputs

Evidence profile — what the gaps on this board actually are

Measured by nx_swcompare_evidence, read back by nx_evprofile_lib. Every figure is a count with its denominator — there is deliberately no score, no grade and no percentage anywhere in this band, because a stored scalar is a field a seat can edit and a counted partition is not.

proven able to fail counts the gates that have a RECORDED RED — nx_gate_bite mutated the gate subject, rebuilt it, watched the gate go red, and that record is inside the shared TTL. never bitten is its complement over the same denominator: those gates ran and were green, and nothing has ever shown them able to detect anything, so their green is a statement about this run and not about the gate. green at 0/0 is a separate and much weaker observation — the gate printed GREEN on a zero denominator, so its own tooth counter says it examined nothing. A gate can be green, non-zero, and still never bitten; that is the common case and it is now visible instead of implied.

partition: grounded + unsupported = 6 vs present 6 · named + unnamed + withheld = 6 vs open 6 · both reconcile

liar-kill conj=GPqN · first failing conjunct: quorum

graded document: BUILDROOT tree, 5368 bytes · gates map: NONE · stamped 37d 6h ago · STALE against the shared TTL of 604800s — this is evidence about a build nobody can vouch for now · source ../knowledge/status/evstamp_alignbiz.verdict

Gap class	What it is, and the work it names
CLAIM-ONLY	No declared gate ran for this board, so every capability mark here rests on a symbol existing in source and on nothing executing. The remedy is to WRITE a `.gates` map naming gates that already run — authoring, not research.
STALE	This profile is older than the shared TTL, or its clock ran backwards. It is reported as unusable rather than as fresh, because being wrong in the direction of refusing is the safe direction.

This band reports the referee counts. The per-axis worklist rows — which axis is unsupported, which watch is ready to flip, which gap is unnamed — are printed by nx_swcompare_evidence alignbiz itself and are not carried on the stamp, so this page names the classes and the producer names the rows. That split is stated rather than hidden: a count without a worklist is not actionable, and this band is honest about which half of that it is.

Production map

Follow the dependencies, declared acceptance criteria and recorded priorities. Inspect source binding before treating a rank as executable work.

Ranking source binding: PLAN_MATRIX_BOUND_ONLY. Recorded priorities require current acceptance evidence and resource checks before execution.

Ranking matches the captured plan and matrix only. Latest execution outcome, research freshness, accepted delivery and investment return are unverified.

Recorded priority estimates

Order from nx_compare_rank (nx_dr_ocm: (deficit + cost-of-delay + option + enables) x sponsor x self-sufficiency x momentum / cost). FINISH rows are rungs whose symbol is present but whose organ is short of full adoption: listed before new work by this heuristic. Priority is not measured delivery cost or execution readiness.

Ladder verdict. NOT DECLARED. This board names no dated best-in-class or frontier target and no rung roles (sotatarget and rungrole rows on its plan); the ranker labels it NO-LADDER until it does, and until then its rungs climb toward a target nobody has written down. Bars read NO-BAR against the current month 2026-10.

Rung dossiers — every record that bears on a rung, in one place

Joined by symbol, never typed. Each dossier is assembled on every publish from the rows this board already carries: the plan's rung row, the matrix row that carries its contract symbol (its status re-measured by the one symbol ruler), the gate the organ declares and the verdict the evidence referee recorded on its last run, the reference marks in the rung text, the design rows that name the rung and the work log filed against it. The capability matrix links each cell to its dossier and each dossier links back to its cell and forward to the rungs it stands on; a dependency naming no rung on this plan is written as UNRESOLVED rather than linked. Absences are named: NO-MATRIX-ROW, NO-GATE-DECLARED, UNRECORDED.

Gate verdicts: UNSTAMPED — no per-gate verdict artifact is published for this domain yet (nx_swcompare_evidence alignbiz writes it beside its stamp); every gate below reads UNRECORDED until it runs.

Gate declarations: knowledge/organ_gate.conf read from this working directory (1 rows) and from the estate root (196 rows); rows in both counted once: 0; declarations read: 197. Every declaration in either copy counts, so a stub beside the publisher can never hide the root.

Capability comparisons

Compare the field, search individual capabilities and open their source and adoption evidence. Documented presence does not establish comparative quality.

Position map — centrality and distinctiveness

The four-quadrant map the field uses for brand strategy (Dawar and Bagga, HBR June 2015), re-derived from this matrix on every publish. Centrality is the share of the category's feature mass a player covers, each feature weighted by how many hold it; distinctiveness is the average lead over each rival on the rows the player holds; breadth is the depth-weighted share of the whole matrix (the bubble); depth is how deeply the rows held are held; momentum is the day-over-day move off the spine (green rising, red falling, grey until day two); the dashed path runs first day → previous day → today. Dividers are the category means. Axes are fitted to the field of play, so read the tick numerals, not the frame. Rival marks are documented presence, so a rival's position reads the record, never its quality. The picture grades its own readability below; the table beside it is the same data for a screen reader or a second method.

Rows. 12 feature rows mapped of 12 matrix rows; 0 substrate rows (kernels, bounds and instruments the plan's rungrole marks substrate) are the estate's scaffolding, not category features, and stay off the map

Views. 2D cut: centrality, distinctiveness · 3D cube: centrality, distinctiveness, breadth · axes registered: centrality, distinctiveness, breadth, depth, momentum · a board picks its own in knowledge/compare/alignbiz.cdmap (cut|x|y, cube|x|y|z); absent = the HBR defaults

bubble area = breadth · ring = momentum (green rising, red falling, grey until day two) · dashed = category means · axes fitted to the field of play: centrality 300–550, distinctiveness 100–800 of 0–1000 permil (the full range put every player in one corner)
readability of the 2D cut, self-graded by the layout ruler: label overlaps 0 · labels over marks 0 · off-canvas 0 · unresolved labels 0 · mark overlaps 1 (a fact of the data: two players that close are that close) · data spread 653 permil of the plot · quadrant words unseated 0
text contrast, measured with wcag2-ratio (floors from contrast.conf), light theme: labels 16.24 (floor 4.50) · notes 16.24 (floor 4.50) · quadrant words 5.89 (floor 4.50) · tick numerals 5.89 (floor 4.50) · axis titles 5.59 (floor 4.50) · dark theme: labels 13.78 (floor 4.50) · quadrant words 5.55 (floor 4.50) · axis titles 5.97 (floor 4.50) · dark classes under their floor 0 (one figure serves both themes: a dark shortfall is a token to fix, never a class to hide) · classes refused under their floor 0 (a refused class is not drawn; the scale classes are measured, never hidden) · export: SVG PNG (receipt, rendered by the estate's own rasteriser from this page)

axes fitted: centrality 300–550 · distinctiveness 100–800 · breadth 50–400 permil · farther bubbles are painted first, nearer ones over them · the floor shadow is each bubble's (x, y) at height 0

How to read this evidence. A Nishi source mark records whether the named symbol is declared in the selected source file. It does not establish working behavior or accepted delivery. A watching tag names an expected source entry; discovering it updates source coverage only. A dark tag means the file exists but the named symbol was not found: inspect the source and contract before assuming the capability is missing or renaming code. Peer codes are authored assessments; unassessed means no comparison is established, not absence. Qualification, deployment identity, runtime observations and acceptance must carry their own evidence. Adoption records the catalog's observed path through source, build, promotion, registration and invocation; libraries use importer evidence and gates use declared execution surfaces. A full catalog path does not establish quality, freshness or a successful user outcome. Partial and unknown states retain their stated next action. Census stamps: importers asof 1790637268, gate census asof 1790104131 (unix seconds; -1 = census absent).

Rival-claim provenance. Every Yes, Best or Part mark in a rival column is a claim about someone else's product. A cited row carries a reference mark that resolves to a pinned mirror (the refs gate measures that); an uncited row is an observation read and is badged in its evidence until a reference lands. The badge is the receipt, never the proof: a mark proves a mirror exists, not that the mirror supports the code. The rows are counted below.

Rival claims, counted

Risk register

Risk	Likelihood x impact	Mitigation
The analysis says GO on thin local data	possible x high	AB1 prints coverage bounds; AB3 refuses on a losing bad case; the verdict carries its inputs so a thin census is visible, not buried
ADAS attach assumed but not earned locally	possible x medium	AB2 carries the attach rate as an explicit DATA row with a sensitivity band, not a baked constant
A watch contract flips on symbol existence, so a stub reads green	possible x high	the flip is the receipt, the rung gate is the proof

On these two registers. Rows are declared in the domain's plan file and carry the debt id, which is the join key back to the sovereign debt plane — that plane, not this page, is the authority on state. Reconciling them automatically (the regen reading the plane and refreshing these rows) is a named, owed rung; until it lands, treat an id here as a pointer to look up, not a status to trust.

Honest verdict. The Aug-2026 economics of the trade, from the mirrored record: a consumer four-wheel alignment lands at 100 to 175 dollars for mainstream vehicles [alignprice] on a machine that runs 15,000 dollars entry to north of 50,000 fully loaded plus annual software subscriptions [aligncost], and the market leader documents the selection tradeoffs between imaging speed and bay throughput [hunter]. The 2026 kicker is ADAS: steering-geometry change is a documented recalibration trigger after alignment [adasalign], calibration procedures bill in the hundreds of dollars each and a single vehicle can need several [adasequip] -- and no incumbent format has consolidated the alignment-plus-calibration visit into one focused shop. Chains and dealers run alignment as an attach to tires and repair; mobile ADAS specialists calibrate but do not align. The Nishi analysis: the focused alignment-plus-ADAS shop is a real 2026 wedge, and the estate engines exist to prove or refute it with numbers -- market census, unit economics, downside-gated acquisition math -- before a dollar of equipment is leased.

Person · product · place — not yet measured for this domain

Every compare carries this layer. Declare knowledge/compare/alignbiz.ppp (rows surface|nishi or c1..c4|label|url|connect naming OUR live surface and each rival's front door), run nx_ppp_probe domain alignbiz, and this section fills itself on the next beat: the same ruler on both sides — privacy and CX (third-party hosts, tracker classes, cookies, security headers), design and longevity (design hygiene, computed WCAG contrast, render-blocking resources, unsized media, script weight, theme and motion queries), findability (landmarks, skip link, on-site search, breadcrumb, headings, internal links).

The field — discovered, not chosen

Rows written by nx_field_discover from alignbiz.seeds: the industry's own lists (Wikipedia wikitext, GitHub topics, awesome lists) read mechanically, every candidate counted across seeds. The matrix columns above are a SEAT'S pick; this band is the population they were picked from, and the stats line measures one against the other. A rival here is a lead, never a verdict — it earns a column when its capabilities are read and pinned.

Discovery receipt. One row per counter the run wrote, in the receipt's own order; the rival rows follow in their own table.

Exclusive and shared capabilities

One capability is graded on one board; every other board references it. The fleet duplicate census (nx_rivalcensus dupes, on the fleetdupes clock row) reads every board's matrix and names each capability graded as a row on two or more boards, with a home derived from evidence: rung when exactly one board's plan contracts the symbol (that board is starred), gates when no plan contracts it and exactly one board's executed gate map runs the organ's gate (that board is plussed), ambiguous when several boards carry the deciding evidence (a decision for their seats), and none when no evidence decides it, with the reason beside it: unmapped (no board of the duplicate declares a gates map; declare the maps) or unproven (a map exists and runs none of the organ's gates; gate the organ on its proving board, or declare it a shared library by policy). A home elsewhere means this board should carry an @xrow reference to the home board's row rather than a graded row of its own; a home here means the other boards should. The table is this board's slice of one estate-wide census: the shape is shared, the rows are the board's.

This board grades 12 capabilities: 7 exclusive to it and 5 shared with other boards. Shared rows on this page: 5 = home here 0 + home elsewhere 1 + ambiguous 1 + undecided 3 + refused 0 (partition 5); undecided = unmapped 0 + unproven 3 + unevidenced 0; homonyms 0; since the previous census: new 0, resolved 0. Census FRESH age_s=6699.

Gaps from the record — what the estate does that no board carries

The record census (nx_goalmap record) reads the invoked-tool population and every plan queue row and files each organ or directive that NO matrix, plan or gates row names. A row here is a callout the boards missed: adjudicate it onto a board or declare it infrastructure. Census state STALE (age 1395804 s), sources read 4 of 7 declared — a BLIND census is a FLOOR: unread sources can only add rows.
