The experience advantage
The competitors prove the job exists. LotLight improves the moment between input and decision: uncertainty is reviewable, sources stay attached, and the useful output arrives before a dashboard.
The first screen shows a plain-language feasibility signal instead of a waitlist or a statewide directory dump.
State rights, local dimensional rules, overlays, transit proximity, and wastewater questions never collapse into one false yes/no.
Every claim shows its source, retrieval date, and whether the town has newer material requiring review.
The better way
Match an address to a parcel and let the homeowner correct a bad match.
Apply statewide ADU protections, then surface local restrictions and unresolved overlays.
Export the likely path, cited facts, unknowns, and exact questions for the building department.
