02 / Why it leads
Strength where the benchmark puts weight.
Williamsburg did not win every criterion. Under the benchmark’s fixed weights, its strongest evidence produced the highest total while it still cleared every non-negotiable.
03 / Blocked, not hidden
The rejected field still matters.
A failed or unknown gate cannot be offset by a strong lifestyle score. Each blocked town stays in the decision record with its reason.
04 / What the answer means
A decision to investigate—not a purchase recommendation.
This finished run shows the shape of a Lifescape answer: ranked survivors, explicit trade-offs, stability, and visible eliminations.
