The reason recorded for this question
Reopen this when business closures can be tied to customer-access changes through location-level records or owner evidence, because closure counts alone cannot establish why a business failed. That is where GPT-5.6 Sol landed. Gemini 3.1 Pro went further and declined it, because no public record tracks the specific reasons individual downtown businesses closed.
