HOW IT WORKS
Daily pulls from the City of Calgary open data portal — licences, locations, and permits.
Raw records become clean business entities with title-cased names, categories, and locations.
Deterministic rules flag new businesses, openings, and category growth — each with confidence.
Every signal maps to the services that business is likely to need at its current stage.
Every source record stays traceable and timestamped — straight from the city portal, never scraped.
New-business, opening-soon, and permit-activity signals come from explicit rules, not guesswork.
Confidence language is grounded in public records — “may be relevant for”, never unsupported claims.
WHO IT'S FOR
Reach new businesses during the setup window — while owners are choosing vendors and before competitors find them on Google Maps.
