LANDMARQ scores every parcel for community opposition risk before you spend a dollar on due diligence.
01 · The Problem
Land availability
Paces and Anderson have this covered.
Ownership
Title platforms handle it.
Grid capacity
LBNL data answers this question.
Environmental flags
Transect screens for these.
Tax incentives
IRA modelers have built the tooling.
Offtake
PPA platforms close this gap.
Will the community permit construction?
No incumbent has addressed this. It is the only unpriced variable in the stack, and it is where LANDMARQ operates.
"We spend 6 months and $300K engineering a perfect site, only to have 50 angry neighbors kill it at the first town hall. We have no data to predict this."
VP of Development · Top 5 U.S. Solar Developer
02 · Value Destruction Cascade
Catching it at origination costs nothing. By the time it surfaces in permitting, developers have typically sunk $200K+ in legal and engineering spend.
By construction, you are looking at injunctions, multi-year delays, and financing that has walked out the door.
Origination & feasibility
Hostile counties pass initial screening. Deposits sink into sites that will never clear zoning.
Permitting & financing
Zoning boards deny after spend is deployed. Counterparties withdraw when headline risk appears.
Construction & operations
Lawsuits stop work after permit issuance. Litigation and friction drag on for years.
03 · Competitive Landscape
The gap persists because acquiring outcome data is genuinely hard.
Opposition signals are unstructured, localized, and buried in municipal PDFs. Building the pipeline to extract and score that data is what creates a defensible position.
