Scout is a Switch Case Studio product: commercial-real-estate scouting sold as a monthly retainer. It watches the broker sites and listing feeds a tenant would otherwise check by hand, pulls every matching lease listing into one board, and scores each against the client's own profile: geography, size, use type, demographics, co-tenancy, competition. The client gets a private pipeline where every listing explains its score in plain English, and works it from first look to signed lease. The retainer runs until they find their location.

One board, every source
Six listing sources (broker sites plus an email inbox) polled four times a day and deduplicated into a single board. Nothing gets checked by hand twice.
Scores, not just listings
Every listing is scored 0–100 against the client's profile: eight weighted factors mixing hard data (demographics, growth, size fit) with AI-assessed ones (co-tenancy, visibility, competition).
Evidence you can read
Each score explains itself: a WHY and a WATCH-OUT in plain English, plus per-factor evidence like the trade area's median household income.
A pipeline, not a spreadsheet
Clients drag listings through ten stages, first look to signed lease, with notes and history on each, in their own private login.
Tunable without re-scoring
Factor weights re-rank a client's board instantly; raw factor scores are stored per property, so tuning one client never moves another.
Retainer model
Sold as a monthly retainer with a two-month minimum that runs until the client signs their location; the incentive is finding it fast.

A product, not a project: Scout runs as a self-hosted service with an operator console on one side and private client boards on the other.
