Start with the record that answers the decision
A location comparison begins with the exact parcel, daily destinations and applicable public records. An ownership comparison begins with the legal form, obligations and costs. Keeping those questions separate prevents a neighborhood label or a housing type from doing work that belongs to the candidate file.
Turn the comparison into a candidate file
For a location question, record the parcel, jurisdiction and actual route. For an ownership question, record the legal form, obligations and documents. The comparison becomes useful when the next record or observation can resolve a real decision rather than merely describe an area.
