How it works
From an address to a decision you can defend.
You bring a property. RealClear reads the public record for that parcel and use, holds anything it cannot cite, and hands your team a cited site memo and a workspace to act on.

The memo, page by page Sample
What each page is for.
The memo opens with the answer and the reason, then the evidence, the exhibits and the arithmetic, then what to do next and who closes each open gate. Here are four of its pages.
The answer first
The transmittal letter: the recommendation, the three findings that decide it, and what would change the answer.
Memo page 2 of 35
The site and its rules
The executive summary: the parcels, their zoning and the approval route, with each fact footnoted to its source.
Memo page 5 of 35
The routes drawn out
An exhibit that lays the approval routes out as a flow, and marks the one test the record does not yet establish.
Memo page 14 of 35
The numbers
The buildable envelope drawn to the county geometry for both schemes, with the arithmetic and its basis in a table.

Sample memo · figures marked on the page are placeholders. A memo informs the next diligence step; it does not predict approval, replace licensed advice, or include post-delivery monitoring. The current public engagement is one customer-submitted property.
Scout
Ask the property a question.
Scout answers questions about your property from the same record the memo uses, and shows the source for every answer. When the record is silent, it says so. Answers cite the record. Scout never predicts an approval.
Sample
Jordan Avery Skyvale Development Partners
Yes, if the parcel is in the IP, GI or MR-HI district. Loudoun County's Board of Supervisors acted on 18 March 2025 to require Special Exception approval for data center uses in those districts. Confirm the parcel's district and whether a grandfathering provision applies. Scout does not predict how the Board would vote.
Jordan Avery Skyvale Development Partners
It denied the application. On 15 September 2026 the Board of Supervisors denied the land-use applications for the proposed substation near Dulles Airport. The County distinguished the proposal from a grid-reliability project and cited concern that new high-wattage demand could bring off-site transmission effects. It is one decision on one substation, not a ruling on every Loudoun data center, and the record stops at the County's 18 September notice.
Jordan Avery Skyvale Development Partners
Not established. The record holds no hearing for this parcel. The Loudoun records it does hold are a county-wide amendment and another applicant's substation; neither is a hearing on this one. A hearing set after the record was captured would not appear, so confirm with the clerk before relying on its absence.
RealClear AI
The thinking behind it.
The right questions
Every property type has a short list of questions that decide a deal; RealClear’s research for your property starts from them.
The harness
The system can search, read and calculate, but it can’t invent a source, see another client’s work, or publish its own answers.
The library
RealClear keeps a shared library of public records that every property starts from; what you tell us about your project stays yours.
What holds a memo
A memo releases only when it can cite.
Memo release requires citation and quality checks plus an independent AI review.
- Held
A source we cannot open
Before release, each cited source is checked against its retained original and current rights. A claim that no longer has an eligible source is held or removed; the memo waits for the checks to pass.
- Held
A record the research never reached
If research stops short of the record a decisive finding needs, or reaches its cost cap, the memo is withheld rather than filled with a guess, and the desk says what is missing.
- Released
Every claim traced
When the checks pass the memo is released with one of three recommendations (Pursue, Resolve first, or Pass), and each material claim points to its source.
In RealClear’s operator view, a held property can be sent back for research, continued with the research preserved, or stopped. Release stays blocked until a re-check clears the gate: no one releases past a failed gate, and the memo stays held until it passes.
- Pursue
- The route is open and the decisive facts are cited.
- Resolve first
- At least one route-deciding gate is open, and the memo names who closes it.
- Pass
- Cited claims prove failure on every route in scope.
- Monitor
- The watch state after a decision. Not a verdict: a property enters it once the decision is made.
Before you begin
A few practical answers.
- What do I submit?
- An invited customer submits one property in the workspace: a site name and location, intended use, an applicable scale figure, and any useful context or decision question. A point address alone does not establish a parcel boundary.
- What holds a memo?
- The memo distinguishes a sourced finding from an open question. If a decisive claim cannot be supported, publication is withheld and the reason is shown. A failed citation check, a cost cap reached, or research that stopped short of the record it needs holds the memo the same way; the workspace shows the hold and why.
- What do I receive?
- The current one-property offer is a cited site memo, its sources, and a downloadable PDF. A released memo ends in one of three recommendations: Pursue, Resolve first, or Pass. After the decision, Monitor is the watch state. The depth depends on the available record.
- What happens after delivery?
- The delivered memo and its source register remain in the property workspace. A new edition replaces the earlier one in your workspace; we keep the record of earlier editions. Monitor is the watch state after the decision, not a verdict. This engagement includes no post-delivery refresh or monitoring.
