Dataset card

Type: not stated
Format: Multimodal: structured jurisdiction and project records (zoning classification, permitted-use flag, setback and fire-standard parameters, moratorium status, application outcome) combined with document-derived content — ordinance text, planning staff reports, written findings, appeal records, meeting minutes and public comment — served through a web application and sold as discrete permitting reports
Volume: No coverage count is published, so volume is bounded by scope rather than stated: the vendor claims analysis across all three jurisdiction tiers (state, county and city) for four project verticals plus an investor segment, which implies the full universe of US municipalities and counties that regulate large energy facilities — order 10^4 jurisdictions — each carrying use-table, fire-standard and moratorium attributes, plus a per-project application-history layer (staff reports, conditions, findings, appeals) and an official-level voting-history layer. The published case study is a single 100 MW Midwest storage assessment, so the standing corpus cannot be verified from public material and must be requested directly
Users: Low single-digit to low-tens of enterprise accounts (inferred: a 5-person San Francisco company selling booked demos and individually purchased permitting reports, with five named vertical segments but no self-serve signup and no disclosed funding — a sales-paced, concentrated buyer base)
History: 2 years
Update frequency: not stated
Growth: Active and early-stage — a live product surface with a separate application subdomain and login, an active case-study library, a pricing page, and one vertical marked 'Coming soon' (Real Estate), which indicates a build-out roadmap rather than a mature or static catalogue. No funding disclosed and 5 employees
Launched: ~2025 (organisational record established in early 2026 with no disclosed funding round, a 5-person team, and product framing built on an AI analyst agent — an architecture that could not have shipped materially earlier; the site carries no founding statement)
Delivery: not stated
Entity mapping: not stated
Sample: not stated
Point-in-time: not stated
Licence: not stated
