SIGHTLINE, BY HAMLET — PUBLISHED MARKET INTELLIGENCE
Your next market is holding public meetings about you. Sightline attends all of them.
Sightline is a daily intelligence report built on Hamlet’s index of the public record. It reads what 3,500+ local governments said, then tells you what changed in your markets, where the pushback is hardest, and which names keep appearing. Every claim links to the transcript, agenda, or meeting record it came from.

WHAT YOU GET, EVERY DAY
01 · THE MORNING BRIEF
“What changed in my markets?”
Ten cards or fewer, your markets first: a hearing noticed, an agenda that landed overnight. Ninety seconds and you’re current.
SAMPLE CARD — FROM THE PUBLIC RECORD
165 mentions of “data center” on the Chandler, AZ record

02 · MARKET DOSSIERS
“How hard is this market pushing back?”
Resistance as it appears in the record, placed on a spectrum: public comment against projects, moratorium debates, opposition that keeps returning to the podium. One voice counts once; a loud meeting can’t own the score.
WHERE THE RECORD IS THIN, WE SAY SO — NEVER A GUESS.

“Who’s circling this market?”
The company names appearing in a market’s record — resolved from meetings, agendas, and transcripts, with consultants and utilities counted apart from principals.
