Source class
Commercial permits
Construction, tenant-improvement, and trade-permit activity can provide project-stage context when it is recent and relevant.
Data Sources / Methodology
Evidence first. Freshness visible.
VendorWindow is designed to monitor lawful public commercial records and turn relevant changes into structured sales-intelligence signals.
Source class
Business-license activity
Public business-license events can provide operational timing context. A license event alone is not treated as proof of purchasing intent.
Source class
Certificates of occupancy
VendorWindow monitors the City of Seattle Building Certificates of Occupancy dataset for recent temporary and final occupancy milestones. These can indicate a building is approaching or entering active use, but are not treated as proof of purchasing intent.
Signal logic
Same-address clustering
Multiple recent events tied to the same address can be more informative than isolated permit volume. VendorWindow groups those events for context.
Freshness rule
Stale is not fresh.
Record age is part of the analysis. Historical records may remain useful for context, but they should not be marketed as newly active events.
Evidence rule
Source/date remain attached.
Production signals are intended to carry enough evidence for a sales rep to independently evaluate why the signal exists.
Interpretation boundary
VendorWindow is analytical sales intelligence.
- A signal may suggest a better time to research or call.
- A signal is not a guarantee of current purchasing intent.
- A signal is not a guarantee of a contract, budget, project completion, or sale.
- Public-source availability, timing, completeness, and accuracy can vary.
- Users remain responsible for lawful outreach and their own sales decisions.
No government affiliation. VendorWindow is an independent analytical service. It is not a government agency and does not imply endorsement by any public-record source.
