Opportunity intelligence

Intelligence for the Developing World.

Permit News starts with Seattle permits, then keeps source evidence, parcel context, ownership clues, review movement, and next-step signals together so professional teams can see development activity earlier.

  • Permits are the first signal, not the final product.
  • Seattle source evidence stays attached to each News item.
  • Requested-market expansion follows customer demand.

Proof system

The proof sits inside the product, not below it.

Permit News keeps source owner, source family, review movement, and decision context near the News item so a buyer can inspect why it exists.

Evidence

Evidence trail

Signal

Review movement

Turns comments, responses, holds, and status changes into readable signals.

Source evidence

Thesis

Development intelligence starts where the public record moves.

A permit filing is rarely just a row in a portal. It can point to a parcel strategy, a tenant plan, a financing milestone, a stalled review, a land-use constraint, or a professional services opportunity.

Review movement

Issued permits, plan-review changes, corrections, resubmittals, and holds become readable market signals.

Place and ownership context

Parcel, owner, applicant, architect, contractor, and entity clues stay near the source record.

Role-specific next steps

The same News item can support outreach, diligence, project coordination, monitoring, or a fast rejection.

Workflow shift

The useful context is timing plus evidence.

Before
  • Referrals
  • Manual portal checks
  • Generic permit lists
  • Emergency outreach
After
  • Filtered News items
  • Review context
  • Evidence trail
  • Reviewable contact path

Product proof

A News item, not a raw permit alert.

Permit News packages public source activity into a reviewed item with project context, evidence trail, review status, contact path, and confidence cues a professional can inspect before acting.

How it works

Evidence-backed context becomes News items.

  1. 1Monitor public permit-review activityWatch commercial permit activity for review-stage context.
  2. 2Classify permit contextClassify corrections, resubmittals, missing documents, and holds.
  3. 3Package News itemsSummarize evidence, status, review context, and contact path.

Persona workflows

Seven commercial workflows, one source-backed surface.

Permit News is organized around the professionals who turn development context into decisions: brokers, title teams, land-use counsel, developers, consultants, architects, and owner reps.
