Scout, monitoring, and alerts

Scout and Monitoring serve different jobs. Scout helps you interrogate the evidence available to RealClear; Monitoring watches public-record signals after a site has reached the relevant stage.

​

Ask Scout useful questions

Scout can work from your saved portfolio, source documents, comparable outcomes, jurisdiction context, and a specific site memo when that context is available. Try questions like:

• “Which property needs attention first?”
• “What changed in public sources for this site?”
• “Which diligence questions are still open?”
• “Compare my saved sites.”
• “What does the record say about this jurisdiction or comparable outcome?”

Scout’s answer should be treated as a route into the record. Open the cited sources and memo sections before relying on a material conclusion.

​

What monitoring watches

Monitoring is portfolio-wide. It reports:

• Sites with at least one monitoring rule.
• Rules currently armed for the site’s deal stage.
• The most recent completed pass.
• New public-record alerts, including severity and timing.

Monitoring is armed automatically only when the site’s state supports it — commonly after a Site Memo is delivered and the property enters underwriting. A site can appear in the portfolio without active surveillance.

Respond to an alert

1. Open the alert and identify the affected site.
2. Read the source-backed alert detail and its date.
3. Compare it with the latest memo, open questions, and active deal stage.
4. Decide whether to log a team question, change your diligence plan, or ask Scout for the relevant record.
5. Escalate to your project team or advisers when the change affects a material decision.
