   "what_happened": "Research Triangle Park (RTP) is a 1959-established research park, not a former mall. The record incorrectly frames it as a site needing retrofit, though its original use was as a research park. The proposed retrofit (2012) aims to add housing and mixed-use development on a 100-acre parcel within the existing park, alongside new commuter rail. Status is 'proposed' despite 'opp_reasons' listing it as 'already in play.'",
   "why": "The record conflates RTP\u2019s identity: it is an operating research park (not a mall), yet the data treats it as a vacant site for redevelopment. Housing market data (ZHVI $471k, median rent $1,508) and peer comparisons (e.g., Cary Towne Center) are county-level, not site-specific. Permits show Wake County housing construction (9,620 units in 2024), but this is not tied to RTP. The 'after_notes' describe a planned expansion of the existing park, not a conversion of a dead mall.",
   "where_it_stands": "Status is 'proposed' with no evidence of active construction or approval. The 'opp_reasons' contradict the 'status' field. Context shows RTP is surrounded by one other mall (Cary Towne Center, 9.4km away), but RTP itself is not a retail site. Traffic data (I-40, 174k ADT) supports regional connectivity, but not site-specific retail demand.",
   "for_a_planner": [
    "RTP is not a former mall; it is an active research park. Proposed housing/office mix aligns with county growth (10% population 2018\u201323), but retrofit details are unclear. Peer comparisons are misapplied (RTP \u2260 mall).",
    "Housing market data is county-wide, not site-specific. No evidence of current development at RTP."
   ],
   "for_a_developer": [
    "Status is 'proposed' with no construction or approvals cited. Housing market data (median rent $1,508) is for Wake County, not RTP. Peer projects (e.g., Northgate Mall) are actual malls, not relevant to RTP\u2019s research park context. Traffic data supports regional access but not retail viability."
   ],
   "risks_and_unknowns": [
    "RTP\u2019s identity as a research park (not mall) is misstated in the record. No site-specific retrofit progress or approvals are documented. Housing market data is not tied to the site. Peer list incorrectly includes non-mall sites (e.g., RTP itself) as 'peers'."
