BEACON · COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE FROM PUBLIC RECORDS

Beacon finds demand before advertising can see it.

Beacon watches official public records for events that create commercial need, infers what the organization affected is likely to need, and tells the businesses that sell it. Every lead keeps the record that proves it.

How it works

Event, need, opportunity, match. Facts and inference never share a line.

  • Event

    Something a public record says happened

    A violation, an enforcement action, a penalty, an inspection, taken from the official file and kept verbatim with its source and collection time.

  • Need

    What that event likely requires

    Beacon's inference, always labeled as inference and kept apart from what the record states.

  • Opportunity

    A scored, evidence-linked lead

    Scored on severity, recency and facility size. Every score carries its reasons and every lead links to the row that proves it.

  • Match

    The businesses that sell the answer

    Consultants, equipment vendors, labs, trainers: the sellers who can act on the need while it is new.

Verticals

Structured government sources first, and only sources whose terms permit automated collection. One vertical is collecting today; the rest are planned.

  • Compliance

    EPA ECHO enforcement and compliance records

    A facility in significant noncompliance, under formal enforcement or with a penalty on record likely needs outside help: engineering, equipment, testing, consulting, training.

    collecting
  • Safety

    OSHA inspection records

    An inspection with citations points at training, equipment and program work.

    planned
  • Permits

    State and municipal permit filings

    A new permit is a project with a start date and a list of trades.

    planned
  • Development

    Planning and zoning actions

    A rezoning or site plan approval comes months before construction bids.

    planned
  • Procurement

    Public bid and award notices

    A posted solicitation or an award names a buyer and a need directly.

    planned

Real leads from the latest collection, taken from public EPA ECHO records. What the record says is kept apart from what Beacon infers, and each one links to EPA's own facility report.
