Permit filed
Confirms a documented construction, remodel or installation event.
COMMERCIAL PERMIT LEADS
A permit is evidence. It is not automatically a sales opportunity.
Permit leads are useful because a filing can prove that physical work is moving forward. They are also easy to misuse. A contractor, landlord or generic project address does not always identify the business that will actually buy your service. SpendWindow treats the permit as evidence, then works to resolve the business, location and buying context before delivery.

WHAT A USEFUL LEAD SHOULD TELL YOU
Evidence is only valuable when it leads to a better decision.
The goal is not to send every filing. The goal is to preserve the speed advantage of permit data while reducing false attribution, irrelevant scopes and opportunities whose vendor decision has already passed.
Business identity
The occupant or operating business must be distinguished from contractors, owners and applicants when possible.
Corroborating change
Lease, opening, relocation, expansion or occupancy evidence can strengthen the commercial interpretation.
Service timing
The permit stage is interpreted differently based on what the customer sells.
CATEGORY ≠ PRODUCT
The lead type is the starting point. Timing and context determine whether your team should act.
SpendWindow keeps the underlying evidence visible and applies the service you sell, the market you cover, freshness and buying stage before ranking an opportunity.

COMMON QUESTIONS
What sellers usually need to know before choosing a lead source.
These answers describe SpendWindow's current design and the difference between observed evidence and a customer-ready opportunity.
Are permit leads good for sales?
They can be, especially when the filing is fresh and tied to the correct business. Their value falls when identity, scope or timing is unclear.
Why not treat every permit as a lead?
Because a valid permit can still be irrelevant to the service you sell, attributed to the wrong company, or too late in the buying process. SpendWindow separates observed evidence from the commercial inference.
Does SpendWindow only use permits?
No. Permits are one of several signal families alongside openings, relocations, expansions, remodels, leases, construction, reopenings and occupancy or pre-opening activity.
