## What is Scout Real Estate?

Scout answers the first question of any land deal: what will this jurisdiction say about this site and this use?

Give it a site, by address or by coordinates, and the use you have in mind. Scout reads the zoning code into its districts, use tables and standards, the comprehensive plan into its areas and policies, and the planning board's minutes into the decisions they record. Then it tells you what they say about your site: whether the use is allowed by right, needs a conditional approval, or is not allowed; what the envelope permits; which approvals the code requires and how long each takes as written; which risks fired and what each costs if found late; and what the board decided on cases like yours.

Every claim comes with its basis. Open any verdict and read the ordinance's own words, the section number, the plan's policy, the minutes' line. Scout says "as written" when it copied a date, "not read" when it has not looked, and "confirmed absent" when it checked and found nothing. It never asks you to trust a number it cannot trace.

On your iPhone:

• Sites. Every site you have evaluated, with the verdict on its card and the newest scenario underneath. Mark the ones you are watching.
• New site. Type an address and pick it from the suggestions, or paste one, or enter coordinates. Share a listing page from Safari straight into Scout.
• Overview. The verdict, the four questions behind it, and who to call next.
• Zoning. Permissions, standards, the envelope, the approvals and their clocks, with the code's text one tap away.
• Environmental conditions. The screenings, their findings, and what was not screened.
• Access and utilities. Roads, right-of-way and the checks the run could make.
• Fees, exactions and title. What the code sets out, and when fees were not screened.
• Contacts. The owner of record, the departments that decide, and the people who answer the phone.
• From the minutes. The approval path for your kind of case, recent decisions, and what is coming up.
• Evaluate another use on the same site, and compare the scenarios side by side.

Scout works jurisdiction by jurisdiction. Where it has read a code, it answers from the code. Where it has not, it says so plainly rather than guessing.

Scout is built for land acquisition and development teams, site selectors, brokers who front-run diligence, and the planners and consultants who serve them. Sign in with Apple, Google, or an email address. Your sites sync with scout-ai.dev.
