# Industry Landscape Overview

<details>

<summary>Definition</summary>

The Industry Landscape Overview shows where industries are located and how businesses and professionals are distributed across the region. Explore major industry categories to see their economic presence, or select a business for details on its specialization, innovation level, and key assets. This tool helps identify economic hotspots, industry strengths, and areas with untapped potential.<br>

This tool also serves as a foundation for exploring deeper economic KPIs like Advanced Industry Specialization (Product Complexity Index, PCI) and Industry Growth Readiness (Product Density Index, PDI).<br>

<summary>Navigation</summary>

The map view displays anonymized businesses as nodes, geolocated across the metropolitan area, filterable by city. Each node is color-coded by NAICS industry classification and sized by revenue.

* Clicking on a node reveals the NAICS 6-digit code and industry category of that business. No identifying information is shared.
* Selecting a NAICS code (either on the map or in the treemap) filters the view to display all businesses within that sector across the city.
* The map dynamically updates the sidebar to show how selected businesses are positioned in the other visualizations.

The sidebar includes three linked visualizations:

1. Industry Overview Treemap - Shows the relative size and diversity of industries across the region. Clicking a sector highlights its presence across the city and reveals its businesses in the map and charts.
2. Industry Positioning Chart (PDI vs. PCI) - Use this chart to diagnose a sector’s strategic position and economic trajectory. Plots sectors by Industry Growth Readiness (PDI, x-axis) and Advanced Industry Specialization (PCI, y-axis), using a four-quadrant analysis:
   1. Top-right (Q1): Thriving sectors – complex and well-integrated
   2. Bottom-right (Q2): Traditional sectors – embedded but less complex
   3. Top-left (Q3): Emerging sectors – complex but less established
   4. Bottom-left (Q4): At-risk sectors – low complexity and low integration
3. Industry Network Map - Shows spatial clusters and inter-sector connections. Nodes represent firms; edges show shared categories or co-location patterns.

All visualizations update dynamically. Clicking or selecting any firm or sector filters and syncs the others, creating a strategic overview.<br>

<summary>Methodology</summary>

1. Data Collection & Anonymization – Businesses are geolocated and tagged by NAICS code. All records are anonymized; only industry-level data is shown.
2. Sector Grouping & Visualization – Firms are grouped by sector and mapped into treemaps and networks.
3. PCI & PDI Integration – Precomputed values from Aretian’s economic complexity models are embedded in the positioning chart.

<summary>Calculation</summary>

This module does not produce a single KPI value, although revenue per business is provided.. Instead, it integrates and spatializes multiple industry metrics to provide a structural overview of the economic landscape.

Key underlying data layers include:

* Industry presence by NAICS sub-sector (firm counts)
* Industry relationships based on proximity and specialization
* Positioning via PDI and PCI metrics for each sector

These dimensions combine to reveal patterns of specialization, clustering, and diversification across the metro area—serving as a foundational reference for deeper economic strategy analysis.
