What Scout can do
More than a chatbot. An actual agent.
Natural-language permit search
Ask "show me hot roofing leads in Burnaby from the past month" — Scout queries the full permit database and returns a scored, filterable list.
Live web research
Scout uses web search on most non-trivial questions — builder background, project news, regulatory changes, market context. Always cites the source URL.
Contact discovery
Finds phone and email on the builder's own website first, then LinkedIn and trade directories. HIGH-confidence contacts are auto-saved to the builder profile.
Outreach email drafting
First-contact, follow-up, quote follow-up, walk-away — Scout writes the email for the specific builder and project, in your voice. Copy or adjust.
Pipeline management
"Move that lead to Quoted and add a note that we sent the bid." Scout updates the stage, logs the note, and flags it for follow-up at the right time.
Deep Dive dossiers
One command launches a full research workup: GC background, owner info, verified contacts, project history, and a personalized first-contact email draft.

Subject:Roofing for 1420 Burrard — catching you at the right time?
Hi David,
Noticed the building permit for 1420 Burrard was filed last month — with the framing phase wrapping up, I wanted to reach out about the roofing scope before the sub list closes.
We just wrapped a mixed-use roof in Burnaby for Foothills that came in on time and under budget. Happy to send the specs if it's useful.
Worth a 10-minute call this week?
