The Scout — Austin

Pricing

You pay for scope — which geography, or which question. Never for a better grade of the same data. Inside anything you buy, you see everything.

Subscriptions

What	Per month
Austin Core	$999	Travis, Williamson, Hays, Bastrop and Caldwell. Sold whole.
Any additional county	$129	Any county in the region outside a Core.
The whole region	$2,495	Every county we cover.

Billed monthly in advance. Cancel any time and it runs to the end of the period you paid for. Add or remove counties whenever you like.

What the Austin Core is

Five counties, and they are the five the federal government calls the Austin metro: Travis, Williamson, Hays, Bastrop and Caldwell. Between them they filed 2,697 commercial construction projects worth $20.3 billion in the last twelve months.

Bastrop and Caldwell look quiet on a project count and are not: between them they carry $7.1 billion of that total, because that is where the data centres are being built.

Counts measured from the Texas state construction registry, twelve months to 24 August 2026. A Core is sold whole and its counties are not available individually.

Try it first

Seven days, $49

Full access to one Core for seven days. If you subscribe, the $49 comes off your first month. If you do not, access ends and nothing further is charged.

Buy a single dossier

$29

One complete project record, as it stands right now, delivered immediately. It is a snapshot and it does not keep updating — a subscription is what keeps a dossier alive. Every dossier shows you which fields are filled before you buy.

Ask us a question

	Price
Scout Search	$195	One focused question. Ownership history, parcel activity, an entity lookup, a zoning or permit question.
Deep Search	$495	Multi-source investigation of one property, company, project or entity. Delivered as a report.
Scout Dossier	$995+	New research that becomes a permanent record and keeps accumulating. Not a longer document — an asset that updates itself.

Search is paid in full up front. Deep Search and Dossier are half on commission and half before delivery. Every job is quoted before it starts, and the quote tells you if we do not expect the record to hold the answer.

What happens when the record is not there

A confirmed absence is an answer. If the records establish there is no lien, no filing, no prior owner, that is what you commissioned and the full fee applies.

A source that is down pauses the work, it does not end it. We tell you what we are waiting on and try another way in. If it is still out of reach after ten business days, the second half is not charged.
