A RealClear site memo starts with a useful question, not a generic address lookup. Give us the property candidate, intended use, approximate scale, and the decision you need to make. That gives the research queue something worth doing.

​
Before you submit

Have these ready when you can:
  • The street address, APN, coordinates, or a drawn parcel.
  • Your proposed use and rough scale — units, square footage, acreage, or megawatts.
  • The decision in front of the team: advance, pause, kill, price the risk, or investigate further.
  • Any context already in the deal file: a broker package, local concern, utility issue, use constraint, or counsel question.
You do not need a perfect packet. Start with the facts you have; onboarding asks follow-up questions when more context will sharpen the research.

​
What happens next

  1. Location and deal context — RealClear resolves the property input and records the proposed use, scale, and decision context.
  2. Research queue — the site enters the queue. The usual target is a cited site memo within 24 hours.
  3. Evidence review — the memo is checked against supporting public sources before it becomes available.
  4. Delivery — an Inbox notice arrives; open the site workspace and Site Memo from your portfolio.
A memo may remain in citation or quality review longer than expected. That is intentional: finding text stays held until the supporting evidence and release checks clear.

​
Where to follow progress

  • Portfolio shows saved properties and memo states.
  • Site Memos lists released deliverables and any memo held in review.
  • Inbox carries delivery notices, comments, and assignments.
  • Scout can answer source-grounded questions about a saved site while context is available.
