Permit intelligence

Know who is about to build.

We read city permit feeds and council land-use agendas every morning, score every filing for buying intent, and hand your team a ranked list. The record is public the day it is filed. Most of your competitors will see it in two weeks.

Free, no account. Live city data, about ten seconds.

Three tiers of earliness

Everything upstream of the permit everyone else buys.

01Weeks to months of lead time

Land-use hearings

A rezoning or variance on next month's agenda. The owner has committed money and time to a project that does not exist yet, and no contractor has been anywhere near them.

02Months of lead time

Pre-permit decisions

Entitlement granted. The project is real, the scope is public, and the permit that everyone else waits for is still a filing away.

03Hours of lead time

Fresh permits

Read the morning the city posts them. By the time a permit reaches an aggregator's twice-monthly refresh, the homeowner has already taken three calls.

The part everyone misses

The obvious record is the contested one.

A solar permit means the homeowner already signed with someone. You are not early, you are last. A roofing permit with no array on record means the roof is sound, the money is moving, and no installer has been near it.

The precursor pool is roughly six times the size of the pool everyone is fighting over, and nobody is selling it to you because nobody is looking.

What your team opens

A ranked list, with the reason attached.

Not a row in a CSV. The parcel, the score, why it scored, and the next step, written for the person making the call.

Four segments, one engine

Your definition of a good lead, not ours.

Solar installers

Detail

Homes about to electrify, panels, storage, service capacity, EV.

The lead worth calling: A roof replaced in the last 18 months with no solar on record, or a panel upgrade that just opened up service capacity.

Real estate

Detail

Owners investing before a listing, and land moving toward development.

The lead worth calling: A major remodel or ADU permit, renovation reliably precedes a listing, or a rezoning decision that just changed what a parcel is worth.

Roofing contractors

Detail

Envelope work already budgeted, and the jobs that force it.

The lead worth calling: A storm-damaged or failing roof with a permit already filed, or a solar permit on a roof old enough to need replacing first.

HVAC & electrification

Detail

Heat pumps, replacements, and the panel capacity that unlocks them.

The lead worth calling: A service upgrade or major remodel with no mechanical work on record, the capacity is there and the system has not been touched.

Your segments and your ZIPs. A new geography backfills thirty days, then tracks daily.

02

Rules filter, Claude judges

A deterministic pass drops the firehose. Only what survives reaches the model, so cost tracks value instead of volume.

Sorted by heat, each lead carrying the reason it scored and the next step, written for the person making the call.
