Methodology

Parent-group attribution maps tracked storefronts to a parent dealer entity using name-plus-location matching against the parent-group dataset. Storefront counts reflect distinct tracked listing sources, which can include both physical locations and digital storefronts; the figure may overstate unique physical footprint where a chain operates separate listing feeds per channel. Vehicle-level aggregates deduplicate VINs across the group's storefront footprint. Price-to-Market scoring applies U.S. Patent No. 12,236,477 methodology against comparable in-market vehicles.
