Source transparency
Sources should be visible before a number becomes persuasive.
Atlas organizes source categories so public readers and Renew clients can understand whether a figure is a public record, a market observation, a calculator assumption, or a review note.
Source groups
What Atlas cites. And why.
Source notes should make it clear which inputs are public records, which are market observations, and which are internal review context.
Market activity
- MLS and brokerage review for listed inventory, comparable sales, and observed buyer behavior.
- County assessor and recorder records for parcel, ownership, transfer, and tax context.
- Public listing and rental market references for point in time asking price and rent checks.
Public planning records
- City planning agendas, zoning code, staff reports, and adopted comprehensive plans.
- Building permit summaries and annexation records where local jurisdictions make them available.
- COMPASS, Census, and state demographic datasets for population and growth context.
Renew operating layer
- Anonymized deal review notes from Renew representation work.
- Calculator assumptions submitted for review by owners, investors, and builders.
- Market questions routed through Renew intake and follow-up.
Atlas should never hide uncertainty. When a source is directional, dated, or incomplete, the page should say so.
Source question?
Ask for review before you rely on it.
A public source note can frame a decision, but the next step belongs in a reviewed Renew intake.
