Know what will happen before you close.
Enter an address, a project type, and a target program. Get the approval risk, likely variance requests, expected timeline, and the comparable projects that already went through this town — with the conditions they agreed to and how long it took.
Every month of delay has a carrying cost.
Approval uncertainty drives your interest reserve, your contractor schedule, your equity hurdle. Treating it as opaque is the most expensive form of risk on a development spreadsheet. We make it priceable.
For any address: zoning fit, variance likelihood, board behavior in this neighborhood, recent municipality drift. Risk level with the drivers behind it.
Expected review window with the drivers. Median for similar projects in this town. Probability you clear by day 60 vs day 120 vs day 180.
Approved and denied. Same town. Same use group. Same density tier. With the conditions they agreed to and the hearings they had to attend.
If you need a parking, density, or use variance: approval rate, average hearing cycles, common conditions of approval, neighborhood opposition patterns.
Compare this town to its neighbors. Median review days, first-pass rate, variance approval rate, recent trend. Use it for site selection.
The things the zoning code doesn't say: which districts in this town have elevated opposition, which review departments are running slow this quarter, which projects keep getting carried.
We model how this town actually decides.
Most tools track the status of your permit after you file. We model what was likely to happen before you filed — calibrated against every decision the boards have made, every correction the departments have written, every hearing that did or didn’t produce an approval.
- ✓Evidence on every prediction. Each risk score links to the source — comparable board decisions, recent review-comment patterns, the actual hearings.
- ✓Confidence is explicit. When a town is well-modeled, we tell you. When data is thin, we tell you that too. No false precision.
- ✓Exportable to the deal team. Underwriting memo format. The kind of thing you can include in your IC packet without rewriting.
- ✓Updated nightly. Every overnight crawl picks up new board decisions, new applications, new corrections. The model learns. Yesterday’s read may not be today’s.
Try it on a real deal.
Take a site you’re looking at right now. Drop in the address, the project type, the program. See what the report says. If it’s useful, keep going. If it’s not, you’ve cost nothing.
