About our data
SQOUT is a trust graph for housing decisions. Every dossier separates what the internet suggests, what SQOUT verified, and what residents confirm.
Public signal
Public signals come from places data, maps, listings context, public datasets, environmental feeds, event patterns, reviews, and social discovery. These signals are useful, but they start as Needs verification.
Scout verified
Scout verification is the human observation layer. A Scout visit can confirm, dispute, partially confirm, or mark a public signal as not observable. Scout media and notes are timestamped.
Resident confirmed
Resident confirmation is lightweight feedback after touring or living somewhere. We ask small questions like whether noise, parking, maintenance, or the overall report matched reality.
Fair Housing safety
Resident and social snippets do not publish into crawler-facing Review JSON-LD or provenance pills unless they pass the fh_safety_audited gate. Unaudited rows stay internal.
Citation share
Our internal citation tracker measures whether AI agents cite SQOUT pages when answering safe, place-based housing research questions. We track cited URLs, not just brand mentions.
