01 · HOW IT GETS MADE

How that document gets made. One research run, start to finish.

What you're looking atThe worked example from the memo above — a 72-acre data-center site in Loudoun County, VA — taken through the four stages that produce it. Click a stage to follow the run.

1.Three fields — where, what, how big — plus an optional parcel. Scale is vertical-specific: megawatts for a data center, units for multifamily, square feet for retail.

How to read thisEach chip is a source document pulled for this site. A dashed chip is a flagged gap — something the record does not show, listed rather than guessed.
ORDINANCE · zoning district + use tableMINUTES · two recent hearings, water + noise objectionsUTILITY · service territory filingCOMPARABLES · 220+ researched fightsGAP · available MW — flagged, not guessed

2.A jurisdiction we haven't deep-mapped yet is never rejected — an unmatched address triggers its own dedicated research run before the memo is written.

3.The citation gate is mechanical: a claim without a cited source is blocked from delivery, and a failed check on a claim the recommendation depends on blocks the whole memo.

4.The recommendation is computed from the cited risk register, with a guard that keeps the score and the recommendation consistent — it is never written first and justified after.

✳ analyst's note — power adjacency is not power availability; the memo hands that question to the utility, on the record.

The whole product, one sentence

“You give us a site. We read the public record. Within 24 hours you get a memo with a recommendation — and every claim carries its source.”

1,347 jurisdictions deeply mapped — and growing every week. Every U.S. site is researchable: all 50 states are covered at the state and federal layer, and a jurisdiction we haven't deep-mapped yet gets its own dedicated research run the moment you submit a site there.

These aren't hypotheticals. They're withdrawals, denials, and reversals that already happened — with the paper to prove it. In one Meridian corridor, the record held more than 300 written submissions before the vote. That's not a surprise you want on hearing night. Browse 220+ case files →

03 · HOW TO READ IT

Four words. Read the band, not the number.

54
Feasibility score / 100
Model-weighted; read the band, not the number.
Advance
The record supports the next diligence dollar. Proceed to LOI-stage questions with the cited path in hand.
Monitor
Viable, but the record is moving — hearings pending, rules in flux. Watch the named triggers before committing.
Hold
Do not spend yet. Named professional questions must come back first — utility, counsel, civil, or the local team.
Kill
The record already shows the deal killer. The cheap no, delivered before the expensive maybe.

A memo that cannot stand behind its recommendation is held, not shipped. Missing controlling evidence, an uncited claim, a failed check on a claim the recommendation depends on — any one of them stops delivery.

04 · WHAT WE ANSWER

Five cited decision questions, asked inside every run.

How to read this“Retired” means the memo answers that question with cited evidence — an unknown becomes a documented finding you can hand to committee.
1Is it by-right — or does the code say otherwise?ZONING RISK RETIRED
2Who can stop it, and at which veto point?PROCESS RISK RETIRED
3What does the local record already show?OPPOSITION SURPRISE RETIRED
4How often do approvals clear here?PRECEDENT RISK RETIRED
5What still needs a professional answer?HANDOFF MADE EXPLICIT
05 · WHAT IT SAVES

What the approval path does to the pro forma.

One data-center site drew a $1 billion withdrawal after the record turned. The signals were in the public record the whole time.
Moratoriums don't announce themselves the week you close. They're written into the record months before.
How to read thisSame finding, three discovery moments — the later it surfaces, the more it costs.
WHAT AN APPROVAL FINDING COSTS — AND WHEN YOU FIND OUTILLUSTRATIVE FIGURES ARE LABELED
The finding
Discretionary rezoning
Not by-right: a legislative act with public testimony and political review — plus a second veto point behind it.
The calendar
6–36 months
The documented range for entitlement timelines. Franklin Township burned 183 days just reaching withdrawal.
The carry
$50K–$260K
Per-site diligence spend at risk — counsel, civil, utility, consultants — before the first veto point even votes.
Sensitivity band — when the same finding surfaces

Franklin Township, priced: by withdrawal, the sunk cost spanned land assembly across 467.66 acres, partner-rate attorney fees, and roughly a year of a senior development team — on a path the public record had flagged as steep from the start.

ILLUSTRATIVE BRIDGE · IN A DELIVERED MEMO, EVERY GROUNDED FIGURE CARRIES ITS SOURCE; UNGROUNDED FIGURES ARE LABELED ILLUSTRATIVE

✳ analyst's note — the arithmetic is not the recommendation; it is why the recommendation is worth reading.

06 · WHAT'S UNDERNEATH

It looks like a search box. It works like a research system.

A chat window answers from memory. RealClear answers from the record.

How you give us the siteAn address is a point. A drawn boundary is a site.
GIVE US THE SITE
Ashburn Expansion · drawn boundary · 72.4 ac · Loudoun County, VARequest a site memo

Start with an address, a parcel number — or draw the boundary yourself. The research reads the record either way.

THE SYSTEM UNDERNEATHEVERY PIECE CHECKABLE
M·1Five layers, read in parallel

A zoning reader, a pathway mapper, a community sentinel, a comparable analyst, and a report writer work the record at once, with live research from the open web. Your Loudoun site and your Phoenix site: read the same way, to the same standard, every time.

M·2Nothing ships uncited

Every assertion must name a source document before it leaves the building. A claim without a citation isn't softened — it's held. Click any sentence back to the ordinance, the staff report, the meeting record.

M·3A living map of the public record

Underneath sits a knowledge graph — a living map of the record: 2,000,000+ references across 390,000+ source documents and 1,347 jurisdictions, cross-referenced so a change in one place surfaces everywhere it matters. It grows every week.

M·4One clear read at the end

Advance, Monitor, Hold, or Kill — and every reason behind it opens to its source.

The diligence you'd have paid six figures for — a cited site memo within 24 hours.

A chat window can sound certain. It can't hand you the source. The difference isn't a better answer — it's an answer your counsel can check.
