For contractors & trades

Leads from building permits.

Before anyone spends real money on a building, they file a public permit: the address, the scope, the value and the date. That isn’t someone who might buy. It’s someone already deciding. The machine reads a whole city’s permits and ranks them for one trade.

A short cut. Watch the full film on YouTube ↗

A lead list with a date on it.

A permit is closer to a purchase order than a lead: the work is scoped, valued and dated, and most of it hasn’t been awarded yet.

The machine pulls every application in the window, sorts by value and trade, and keeps only the ones one contractor could actually win. It shows why it threw out the rest, including the biggest project on the list.

  • A city-wide permit reader
  • A value-and-trade ranking for one trade
  • A rejection log with a reason for every cut
  • A re-run on a fresh 30-day window

Your market, before it’s public knowledge.

Contractors, suppliers and trades: the machine reads the public record around your work and hands you the jobs that are still being decided.
