What this file helps you do

Record the context of the visit

The location-information section captures the venue, contact, date, visit time and proposed machine type. These details help distinguish what you observed from what was described to you later.

Walk through the practical constraints

The checklist groups traffic, physical access, operator context and competition into a repeatable visit structure. Use the prompts to identify things that need a second visit or confirmation from the host.

Bring evidence to the comparison

The PDF includes point values and rating bands for organizing observations. Pair the completed sheet with the spreadsheet scorer when comparing multiple candidates, keeping the original notes behind the scores.

From download to use

Your first pass through the file

  1. Print a copy for the candidate site and record the visit time.
  2. Walk the proposed placement area and note unknowns instead of guessing.
  3. Follow up with the host and compare the completed checklist with other sites.

Know what the file can tell you

A completed checklist does not establish demand, electrical suitability or legal permission. Confirm unresolved site requirements with the appropriate people before installation.
