What we can ask

A specific question. A short list.

These are real cuts, not illustrations. The filters stay with us. You see the question and the result.

01

Yards an operator can actually run, with the highway access they need.

Candidates88
02

Smaller inventory near Deer Valley, same owner five years or more.

Deliverable

The deliverable is a brief, not a dashboard.

A real candidate, redacted. Twenty acres of confirmed industrial land six miles from Sky Harbor, one 1971 warehouse covering a hundredth of the parcel, out-of-state owner, held thirty-four years.

What shipped

A county model. A short list. A person on the file.

A brief, not a product seat

Ask a specific question about size, location, and ownership. What comes back is a ranked, human-checked list — dated, and short.

The whole county. Then a person looks.

Coverage is every parcel in Maricopa. What leaves the building is a short list someone has already opened, not a dump from a query.

A snapshot, not a feed

The dataset is rebuilt on a cycle. Every brief says when each field was pulled, so you know what to re-check before an offer.

What we will not claim

The useful part is the refusal.

We do not name the human behind the LLC.

Identifying a specific principal is per-deal work, not a bulk product. Anyone selling that at market scale is overstating it.

Last ticket is not the ask.

An old deed is the owner's cost. Assessed value is not a bid. The brief puts those next to what similar yards have actually traded for.

Zoning is local, or it is omitted.

A code that means industrial in one city does not mean industrial in the next. If it has not been checked against that jurisdiction, it does not ship.

What the work taught

The build got more honest as the data pushed back. The useful output is not “cheap basis.” It is a legal yard whose owner looks reachable, sitting next to real recent prints — and a written list of what not to send.
