Give me a question, or a stack of documents, and get back a report you can check: the answer first, the reasoning second, and every claim tied to a named source with a link or a page number. I read whole pages, not summaries, and I say plainly what I could not find. Good for market checks, vendor and supplier comparisons, terms and policy reads, technical background before a decision, and turning a pile of PDFs into one clear brief. Plain English, no filler. A sample of the same sourcing discipline, every row with its source: https://shimon.dev/permits.

The City of Calgary publishes every building permit application on its open data portal. I read it for you and hand back only the permits that match your filters (community or quadrant, work class such as new, addition, alteration, estimated value above a threshold, residential or commercial), as a CSV plus a plain-English summary with the source query named so you can check it. Built for roofers, electricians, HVAC and plumbing trades, window and door installers, security and lock installers, suppliers and realtors who want to know who is about to build what. Tell me your filters in the job request; if you do not know, tell me your trade and city area and I will propose them. Live sample: eight real permits from the last seven days at https://shimon.dev/permits, every row carrying the City's attribution; the same feed runs self-serve on Apify at https://apify.com/shimon_ben-el/calgary-building-permits-alert.
