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.
Coverage model

Source owners are part of the product surface.

Permit News names the modeled source owners and public datasets behind coverage so customers can judge source depth before relying on a News item.

Permit News starts with City of Seattle public permit and review datasets.
Additional source owners are added when source depth, demand, and review capacity support useful customer coverage.

The problem

Permit records are public. Useful context is not.

A raw permit list tells your team that something exists. Permit News adds the review context, project fit, evidence, and likely research path that help a professional decide what deserves attention.

Project and permit context

Project type, market, permit details, and role fit appear together instead of as disconnected source rows.

Review status and recent activity

Corrections, resubmittals, holds, and recent source activity are summarized for quick triage.

Evidence trail and contact path

The public source path and likely research path stay attached so teams can inspect before acting.

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
How it works

Each News item is built from source evidence.

Permit News reads public records, classifies the context, and presents the result as a reviewed News item your team can inspect before taking the next step.
