Field notes
The data surface pairs city-level permits and starts with a materials basket, labor and enforcement reporting, rates and inventory, then tracks projects through verified, announced/pre-dirt, and withdrawn states. Coverage has explicit limits: commercial filings are listed above $50,000, and single-family counts appear only where cities publish them, with missing data marked DARK. The homepage says each issue’s calls will later receive public HIT/MISS grades; this is presented as a feature, not a demonstrated record here.
