Customer-visible
The field is displayed verbatim in customer-facing packets and the workspace.
Source coverage index for commercial real estate acquisition research.
Acquisition research is only as reliable as its source coverage. This index outlines the source classes Acren reviews — recorder, assessor, parcel, tax, entity, deed, mortgage, permit, zoning — with notes on rights status, readiness, and field-level display considerations.
How to use this index.
This is the reference your team should agree on before the first packet ships. Use it to align on which source classes belong in scope, what readiness status applies, and where display rules changes the field-level surface. Pair with /sources for the agency-level registry.
Index of reviewed source classes.
| Source class | Review status | Display rules | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Recorder · Deed | Source-reviewed | Customer-visible | Recorded conveyances; primary basis for ownership-of-record. |
| Recorder · Mortgage | Source-reviewed | Customer-visible | Lien stack; supports lending and collateral review. |
| Recorder · Lien · UCC | Source-reviewed | Generalized | Encumbrance signal; jurisdictional variability. |
| Recorder · Lis pendens | Source-reviewed | Generalized | Litigation signal; treated cautiously. |
| Assessor · Parcel | Source-reviewed | Customer-visible | Parcel boundaries, classifications, related parcels. |
| Assessor · Tax roll | Source-reviewed | Customer-visible | Assessment history; supports parcel reconciliation. |
| Assessor · Use code | Source-reviewed | Customer-visible | Property-class normalization. |
| Secretary of state · Entity | Source-reviewed | Customer-visible | Entity registration; supports owner / entity context. |
| Secretary of state · Officer | Source-reviewed | Generalized | Officer / agent signals; rights-reviewed. |
| County · Permit | Source-dependent | Generalized | Where reviewed sources exist. |
| Local · Zoning | Source-dependent | Generalized | Highly jurisdictional. |
| Local · Code enforcement | Source-dependent | Internal only | Not displayed to customers — too noisy. |
How display rules changes the surface.
Generalized
The field is shown summarized — counts, categories, or rounded ranges — not raw values.
Internal only
The field informs Acren's resolution and QA but is never exposed to customers.
Suppressed
The field is excluded from the surface entirely — usually for legal / rights / sensitivity reasons.
Recommended scoping by workflow.
| Workflow | Required source classes | Recommended | Optional |
|---|---|---|---|
| Acquisition research | Deed · Assessor · Entity | Permit · Mortgage | Zoning |
| Ownership research | Deed · Entity · Officer | Assessor · Mortgage | Lien |
| Lending / collateral | Deed · Mortgage · Entity · Assessor | Lien · UCC | Lis pendens |
| Brokerage research | Deed · Entity · Assessor | Mortgage | Permit |
| Portfolio monitoring | Deed · Entity | Mortgage · Permit | Lien · Lis pendens |
Does this mean coverage is national?+
No. Source classes exist; cell-level customer-readiness varies. Acren reviews source availability, field quality, display permissions, and QA per cell before promotion. See /coverage.
How are sensitive sources handled?+
Sensitive categories may be generalized, suppressed, or blocked. See /methodology/responsible-use for the canonical policy.
Can I bring my own source classes?+
Yes. Partner-source review is part of the territory-review intake — Acren reviews rights, status, and field quality before any new source enters customer-visible coverage.
Where do I see source-level readiness?+
/status describes the current-product readiness model and customer-visible incident reporting.
Responsible use
Research priority, not seller intent
Acren ranks commercial property research priority. It does not infer disposition, hardship, or willingness to transact.
Responsible use
Source evidence required
Every recommendation must carry supporting records, field-level rights status, and verification gaps.
Responsible use
Verification before action
Customers are responsible for verifying records before outreach, capital, or workflow decisions.
Responsible use
Display rules built in
Customer-visible, generalized, internal-only, and suppressed fields stay visible as product controls.
