Sitehunt combines automated data enrichment with intelligent RFI processing so economic developers can move from scattered spreadsheets and PDFs to defendable property intelligence and complete response packages in minutes instead of weeks.

Whether a site is owned by an economic development organization, local government, or private owner, you can start with whatever you already have—an address, parcel ID, PDF, spreadsheet, or listing feed—and let Sitehunt build, enrich, and use that record throughout your workflow.

1. Automated Data Enrichment

Most real estate listings and spreadsheets are incomplete. Critical questions about utilities, zoning, infrastructure, workforce, incentives, and environmental constraints are either missing or scattered across systems. Sitehunt’s enrichment engine fills those gaps automatically.

You can start with:

  • A parcel ID or address
  • A PDF brochure or flyer
  • A spreadsheet
  • A listing feed from your CIE

Sitehunt finds the correct parcels, outlines the site, and then enriches the record so you have:

  • Complete site facts: Standardized building and land details for every property.
  • Infrastructure & utilities context: Clear answers about power, water/wastewater, gas, broadband, and access.
  • Workforce & market context: Demographic and workforce indicators tied to each site.
  • Risk & readiness: Environmental, risk, and incentive information needed for due diligence.

Where data is uncertain, Sitehunt surfaces AI Insights—clearly marked as “guesses”—and shows the underlying sources so you can confirm or override values. Every automated update and every manual change is logged, giving you a transparent audit trail and a continuously enriched property database you can defend to prospects, partners, and your board.

2. Automated RFI Processing

RFIs and RFPs are where communities win or lose projects—and they are often where the most time is spent. Sitehunt turns RFIs into structured criteria, matches and scores your sites, and assembles complete response packages, all from the same enriched database.

2.1 From RFI Document to Criteria Checklist

  1. Upload the RFI: Drag‑and‑drop a PDF, Word document, or Excel workbook—no reformatting required.
  2. Auto criteria extraction: Sitehunt’s AI reads the document and pulls out the requirements it finds, such as acreage, building size, utility capacities, access distances, workforce thresholds, timelines, and special constraints.
  3. Review and refine: You can edit, add, or remove criteria, mark them as required or optional, and clarify nuances before scoring begins.

The result is a clear, editable digital checklist that reflects what the project is actually asking for.

2.2 Matching, Scoring, and Explaining Fit

With criteria in place, Sitehunt evaluates every eligible property in your database:

  • Smart matching: Each requirement is mapped to the right fields in your enriched property records, including utilities, zoning, infrastructure, workforce, and environmental constraints.
  • Transparent scoring: Sites receive suitability scores that show how well they meet the criteria, where they partially meet requirements, and where data is missing.
  • “Missing data” flags: When Sitehunt can’t confirm an answer, it tags that criterion as missing instead of guessing, giving you a punch list to verify with utilities or local partners.

You end up with:

  • A ranked list of qualified sites
  • A list of unqualified sites with clear reasons
  • A “needs more information” list of promising sites that could qualify once gaps are filled

2.3 Assembling the Response Package

Once you choose the sites you want to include, Sitehunt assembles a complete response:

  • Core RFI answers: Structured responses tied directly to the criteria and underlying property data.
  • Property‑level materials: Spec sheets, maps (drive‑time, radius, infrastructure, floodplain, soil, slope), and attachments generated during enrichment.
  • Community and workforce context: Demographic, workforce, childcare, housing, and higher‑education reports for the relevant geography or labor shed.
  • Branded proposal: A polished, branded response document that your team can download, send, or further edit as needed.

Because the package is built from the same source of truth as your property database, you avoid conflicting numbers across spreadsheets, PDFs, and presentations.

3. Maps, Reports, and Storytelling

Once your data is enriched and your RFIs are automated, Sitehunt helps you show the story on maps and in reports:
