Authority engine / Phase 3

Every changing claim has an owner and a trigger.

This is the public operating ledger behind Parcel & Key’s current market, rate, construction, policy, strata, and municipal coverage.

Monitored authorities

Seven source systems. One update discipline.

Release cadence tells us when to look. The underlying document determines whether a public answer changes.

Phase 3 exit standard

Page count is not the outcome.

01
At least three priority clusters earn non-brand Google clicks across multiple relevant queries.
02
At least ten relevant non-brand queries reach the top 30, with several entering the top 10.
03
Search visitors produce measurable engaged reads, next-path clicks, calculator completions, or consented subscriptions.
04
Original reporting or data earns genuine citations or relevant referring domains.
05
Expansion decisions use Search Console and engagement evidence rather than page-count targets.
