Guessing where to compete is expensive. We pull a year of permit data for your city, run AI-augmented analysis on owner concentration, project type, and decision structure — then ship you a PDF that says exactly who to talk to and why.
What we do for San Jose, we'll do for any Bay Area city you ask about.
A year of public planning commission filings for your city — addresses, owners, project types, square footage, dates. Raw data nobody bothers to structure.
Owner concentration, repeat-buyer LLCs, ADU vs. SFR vs. multifamily split, geographic clusters, who actually decides at each tier. The structural picture under the noise.
Named LLCs. Per-tier playbooks. Read it on your phone in 5 minutes. Send your first targeted cold email this afternoon.
