Maybe you can combine existing databases? For instance: that company (Locatus) recently made a new 'product', which they called the Retail Risk Index: by analyzing companies moving in and out of retail properties and combining it with other databases (which you can buy, man) they calculated (among other things) how long a retail company will survive.

So: there's a new shop opening, and according to the value of the property, the amount of times it has moved of ownership in the last decade and the quality of the street, how likely is this shop to succeed?

Approach a bank. Tell them you can tell what retail properties in their portfolio are good and which are large risks. Then, buy the necessary data. Profit?
