From Three Tools to One Answer: How AI Is Unifying Property Intelligence

Stop switching between Scout, Verify, and Validate. Our AI integration synthesizes property intelligence into a single, data-backed answer in 45 seconds.

The Problem: Three Questions, Three Tools, Three Contexts

You've found the perfect development site. Within 15 minutes on PlotDetect, you have answers:

  • Scout shows it's zoned R3, 600m squared, with 0.75:1 FSR and 12m height limit
  • Verify confirms dual occupancy is permitted with specific setback provisions
  • Validate reveals 78 percent of dual occupancies in this council get approved

You have all the data. But you still need to interpret it.

The insight gap: You can see the rules, the precedents, and the constraints but synthesizing them into yes or no still requires hours of cross-referencing.


What Property Professionals Actually Need

Users do not want three separate answers. They want one decision.

The Developer Journey

  1. Scans 20 properties on Scout
  2. Shortlists 3 based on zoning and lot size
  3. Opens Verify to check compliance
  4. Cross-checks Validate for approval patterns
  5. Manually compares all three data points
  6. Makes gut-call decision after 2 or more hours

The AI Integration: One Question, One System

Input: 123 Main St, Marrickville - dual occupancy feasibility

AI Process:

  1. Context Assembly (Scout) - lot size, zone, FSR, constraints
  2. Rules Interpretation (Verify) - applicable provisions, compliance challenges
  3. Approval Intelligence (Validate) - 47 dual occupancy DAs analyzed

Synthesized Answer (45 seconds):

FEASIBLE (Confidence: 78 percent)
Site Capacity:
  • Max buildable: 285 sqm GFA (FSR limiting)
  • 2x 140 sqm dwellings possible
  • Parking: 2 spaces achievable
Key Risks:
  • warning Heritage: 15 percent require design amendments
  • warning Rear setback: May need variation
Approval Forecast:
  • 37 comparable DAs: 29 approved, 3 refused
  • Median determination: 87 days
Recommendation: PROCEED with heritage-sensitive design

How We Built the Foundation

Before AI synthesis, we built a system where every compliance claim traces to its source. Learn about our 4-layer filtering and actionable classifier.
