Eleven visits, since 3 January

The pattern you have not noticed Of the four you rated highest, three were over budget and one was over your commute limit. Of the seven you rejected, five were inside both.

Said plainly: everything that fits your written brief, you disliked. Everything you liked, breaks it.

What that usually means The brief is missing something you have not written down. Looking at the four you liked, they share one thing none of the seven had: a room you enter that is not the kitchen or the living room. An entrance, a hallway, a landing.

What to do with it Add it to the brief and see whether it holds over the next three. It might be wrong. It is the first thing in eleven visits that separates the two groups.
