TradeIntel Presence Gap
Find real businesses in public records, inspect the evidence, and decide whether there is a respectful customer research path.
No pricing yet. This is a validation demo for developers and solo consultants who want better customer discovery without spam automation.
How It Works
The bot returns research packets, not outbound campaigns. Every result needs human review before contact.
Install
Add the bot to a private Discord server where you can test slash commands.
Search
Run `/find-customers` with a trade, location, source, and result limit.
Inspect
Open `/lead-packet` to see source evidence and reason codes.
Verify
Manually check web presence, fit, and whether there is a helpful reason to reach out.
Commands
Start with `/sources`, then search one region you might actually serve. If you omit `trade`, the bot defaults to `hvac`.
/sources
Lists the loaded public-record sources and record counts.
/find-customers trade:hvac location:seattle source:wa_lni_contractors limit:5
Best starting point for Washington trade contractors.
/find-customers trade:hvac location:portland source:or_sos_businesses limit:5
Searches Oregon business registry records for name-inferred HVAC leads.
/find-customers trade:business-services location:boulder source:co_sos_businesses limit:5
Browses broader Colorado registry records when the exact trade is unknown.
/lead-packet lead_id:<copy from search result>
Shows the source evidence and manual-review notes for one result.
Sources Live Now
Registry sources are broad and useful for discovery, but they are not proof of buying intent. Contractor-license sources are narrower and usually better for trade-specific searches.
Source ID: `wa_lni_contractors`. Strong for HVAC and trade searches.
Source ID: `or_sos_businesses`. Broad registry coverage; trade is inferred from names.
Source ID: `co_sos_businesses`. Active-style statuses filtered before loading.
What This Is Not
Presence Gap is not a bulk outreach system. The useful part is source-backed discovery plus manual judgment.
TradeIntel sells normalized metadata, provenance, scoring, and workflow around public-record signals. It does not sell copied third-party content, scrape Apollo or LinkedIn, or send automated outreach.
Install The Demo Bot
Add the bot to a server, run `/sources`, and try one search for a region you care about. The goal is to learn whether this produces real research paths for solo operators.
You need permission to add apps to the server. If the command list does not appear immediately, wait briefly and try again.
