Data Prospector Expands into Public Records Intelligence Services

The Data Prospector platform, originally developed as an internal intelligence tool with 14 government data pipelines, is expanding into a suite of public records intelligence services available to external clients.

New capabilities in development include automated processing of Joint Interest Billing documents for accounts payable import, heirship identification through public obituary record analysis, county clerk public records extraction, and cross-source validation services.

Minimum Viable Data Processing

The heirship identification pipeline demonstrates the platform’s core design philosophy: minimum viable data processing. Rather than ingesting entire public records databases, the system cross-references public obituary records against a client’s existing database to identify only high-confidence matches. Detailed searches are conducted only on confirmed matches, reducing processing to the minimum necessary for accurate results.

Less processing means lower costs. By limiting detailed analysis to records that have an extremely high confidence level of being direct matches, the total computational resources required to produce actionable results are reduced to the smallest possible footprint. That processing efficiency translates directly into lower monetary cost to produce the data, which means better pricing for clients.

Custom Data Requests

Data Prospector is also introducing custom data request services, allowing clients to specify their own data requirements and receive consolidated, cross-referenced, and validated results from public sources. All data processed by Prospector is sourced exclusively from publicly available records and government databases. The platform’s value is not access to data, but intelligent consolidation, cross-referencing, and validation of information already in the public domain.
