Property Due Diligence — Zoning, Flood & Site Report

Property due diligence for any US address. Give it a street address and get a structured site report with a clear build/buy recommendation — GO / CONDITIONAL / NO-GO — and the evidence behind it: zoning interpretation (what can be built here), flood risk, demographics, walkability, schools, nearby permits, and parcel data.

Use this when a user asks "should I buy/build on this property?", "what can I build at this address?", "is this site in a flood zone?", or needs due-diligence on US real estate.

• Input: { "address": "600 Congress Ave, Austin, TX", "tier": "full" }
• Returns: JSON in ~10–25 seconds.
• Coverage: Deepest data in Austin, TX (zoning, permits, parcel). Nationwide coverage for flood, demographics, walkability, and schools.

Input

Field	Type	Default	Description
address	string (required)	—	US street address.
tier	full | data	full	full = structured data + AI GO/NO-GO assessment. data = structured data only, no AI, cheaper.

Output (universal schema v0.1)

A single JSON report with stable, nullable-never-absent fields:

• address — input, matched address, lat/lng, FIPS codes.
• coverage — enhanced (deep local data) or national; which sections resolved.
• zoning — universal category enum (e.g. commercial-core, residential-low, unzoned), raw jurisdiction code, allowed uses, confidence, narrative.
• hazards.flood — flood zone, SFHA flag, risk level.
• context — demographics, walkability, traffic, schools, permits, parcel.
• assessment (tier=full only) — recommendation (GO/CONDITIONAL/NO-GO), reasons, next steps, and section-by-section narrative.
• meta — timestamps, disclaimer, cache flag.

Data source names are never exposed; every citation uses a generic label ([Zoning Records], [Flood Data], [Demographics], …).

Pricing (pay-per-event)

Event	Price	When
report-full	$0.75	A full data + AI assessment is delivered.
report-data	$0.20	Structured data only (tier=data, or full degraded when AI is unavailable).

A bad/ungeocodable address returns 404 and is never charged.

Standby mode (HTTP API)

The Actor also runs in standby mode as a real-time API:

• POST /assess body {"address": "...", "tier": "full"} → report JSON
• GET /assess?address=...&tier=... → same
• GET / → health/usage text (never billed)

Telemetry

This Actor sends an anonymous coverage signal (county-level only — never the address, the report, or your identity) to improve geographic coverage.
