Start with the record
Permits, utility filings, planning decisions, and public notices can reveal activity before it becomes a headline. The sample report records the source, date, and docket where available.
Evidence first
A clear line from
source to insight.
Useful research doesn't hide how it was made. Our sample shows the records behind each finding, the strength of the evidence, and the questions still open.
Connect the signals
An isolated filing is not a complete story. Evidence is linked by project and site, with events arranged in date order. Signals that cannot yet be tied to a project remain separate.
Make confidence explicit
Projects are rated High, Medium, or Low based on the evidence presented. Disclosed facts are distinguished from estimates and inferences. Unknown owners, sites, and values stay unknown.
Show what comes next
The sample tracks upcoming decisions, comment deadlines, and potential blockers. Project dossiers explain who should care, while coverage notes state where the search was limited.
Research is a dated assessment, not a guarantee that a project will proceed. The October 11 sample explicitly notes that a shared search cap shortened its sweep and limited follow-up checks. Those limitations remain part of the evidence.
