- Discovery Engine — automatically scans a country and surfaces top data center candidate locations scored on multiple factors.
- Weighted Scoring — score and compare locations using customizable weights across climate, infrastructure, risk, economics and connectivity.
- TCO Calculator — estimate total cost of ownership and compare countries side by side over the project lifetime.
- Risk Assessment — evaluate seismic, flood, hurricane and wildfire exposure with real-world hazard data.
- Privacy & Compliance — built-in GDPR / KVKK controls, audit logging and data sovereignty management.
- Reports & Export — export analysis to CSV and multi-sheet Excel, or generate detailed PDF reports.
- Multi-language UI — available in 9 languages (English, Turkish, German, French, Japanese, Korean, Arabic, Portuguese, Chinese) with RTL support.

Each category is scored from 0–100. Users can assign a weight to every category.
Total Score = Σ (category_score × weight)
PUE Estimate = automatically computed from temperature and humidity data (1.0 ideal → 2.5 poor)
