Screen the candidate set before you chase the deal.

Shortlists get cut on the easy layers — the exposure that bites surfaces after the finalist is chosen.

A candidate set gets narrowed on the constraints that are easy to overlay: zoning, flood, slope, access. The exposure that actually reprices or stalls Hawaiʻi projects — cultural-resource review, a cesspool conversion mandate, a shoreline setback — usually isn't read until diligence is already spending on the chosen site.

By then the comparison is over. The parcel that ranked second on the easy layers may have been the stronger candidate on the ones that bite.

One read across the list — ranked, cited, comparable.

Submit the TMKs — a CSV, a pasted list, or one at a time. Every candidate gets the full assessment: a risk band, a due-diligence synthesis verdict, and a confidence rating, with every fired rule shown with its reasoning and the statute it triggers. The list comes back ranked by exposure, so the comparison happens on all the constraints at once, not just the easy ones.

The ranking is a readiness ordering of the parcels you brought — what each one would face, sorted. KILO doesn't find candidates and doesn't wave one through; it shows which of yours carry the most to be ready for.

Where the candidate set is the whole job.

Renewable-energy siting, multi-site programs, and build-to-suit searches run on candidate sets by definition — a dozen or more parcels under consideration at once, most of which will be cut. A pipeline screen puts the cut on the record: each candidate's exposure, cited, at the moment the decision was made.

For energy work, the same run pairs with the Energy Availability panel — transmission and substation proximity alongside the land-risk ranking — so the siting comparison and the exposure comparison happen in one pass.

Three steps, across the shortlist.
