Output
Report + CSV
Why it matters: Roof replacement permits can create adjacent demand for gutter inspection, attic ventilation, insulation checks, and solar-readiness conversations.
Outreach angle: After roof replacement activity, exterior campaigns can focus on drainage, fascia condition, attic ventilation, and solar-readiness education.
Operating system
Each stage is designed to operate automatically with compliance gates, while rejecting ambiguous data and unsafe commercial output.
Ingest
Socrata-style sources and fixture ingestion normalize public permit records without owner or applicant names.
Classify
AI classification and deterministic scoring identify roofing follow-on signals with fail-closed validation.
Package
HTML and CSV outputs summarize ZIPs, buyer segments, source references, and outreach angles.
Promote
Qualified agency prospects receive compliant email outreach only after suppression, cap, and content checks pass.
Agency use cases
The system stays conservative: no homeowner contact, no Google Maps scraping, no guaranteed outcomes, and no live email unless safety checks pass.
A configurable source registry feeds raw permit records into normalization, zod-validated classification, and bounded signal scoring.
Weekly white-label reports, CSV exports, client-ready summaries, and source references are shaped for contractor campaign planning.
Delivery audit rows, List-Unsubscribe headers, suppression checks, daily caps, and campaign kill switches keep outreach controlled.
