See the Complete Picture with Enhanced
Intelligence
Kukun's system discovers 40% more residential activity that competitors miss because it's hidden in generic permit categories.
Here's an example: A $50,000 kitchen remodel is rarely filed as a "kitchen" permit. It's filed as a combination of separate "electrical" and "plumbing" permits.
Proprietary analytics identify this. By analyzing permit descriptions, work values, and contractor specialties, the system identifies the true construction activity. This means models are trained on the complete picture, not just the obvious data.
