3. We then look at numerous other key factors to determine if there are any weaknesses in any of the areas to pare down the list of potential sites.
4. We then visit each of the sites to physically determine if there are any other potential problems or issues with the selected locations.
5. We then do a proprietary comparative analysis to reduce the list of proposed sites/facilities to between three and five.
6. We then revisit the last group with the client to reduce the number to a preferred site and an alternative backup.
