In development: Chicago and New Orleans. Chicago was selected on the strength of its published fire-system permit volume. We open a market only after confirming the city publishes machine-readable records we can verify, which is why coverage expands slowly and deliberately.

Not seeing your city? Tell us your territory and we will say honestly whether the records there support this, and when we expect to open it.

Why we publish the numbers.

Most companies in this space ask you to trust a black box. We would rather show the aggregates in public and let a contractor check them against the city's own portal. If our arithmetic is wrong, we want to hear about it. Every figure carries a source and a date.
