Distressed Sourcing.

Watch public distress signals every day and return the few properties that meet your written acquisition criteria — scored, explained, and receipted.

The job

Lists of record — notices of default and sale, tax delinquency, REO — are ingested on a schedule and diffed against prior state, so only real changes surface. Every lead is scored against a written rubric with an itemized "why," and every run leaves a receipt. The reference technology is the Datura Acquisition Agent, which operates this pipeline for the firm itself.

Compliance posture — No auto-send: outreach output is print-ready and a human mails it. Dry-run is the default; every mutation is receipted.

Datura Acquisition Agent

The firm’s own sourcing watch; a deal book from the same run, on request — Acquisition Deal Book.

Runs sharper against an installed TalkingDB — it queries your own records for context while it screens, so lead quality reflects what you already know; same price, same turnaround. TalkingDB →

Mandate

We install the retrieval layer on your hardware, ingest what you already hold, write your acquisition criteria down with you, and run the watch every day under audit — byte-identical rescoring, a withholding rate you can see, a receipt on every run, and a person, with counsel, on the other end of every decision. Your corpus compounds for you. The verification and the stewardship are what renew.

Reference engagement: a family office with an Inland Empire mandate, running since June 2026.

$25,000 setup + $4,500/month at list · founding pilot $3,500/month for the first three months — first two non-family clients · Reference engagement →

Not another data subscription.

You don’t read a database — you receive the few properties that meet criteria you wrote down, scored, explained, and receipted. The price is on the page. There is no annual contract and no custom quote. A run that finds nothing tells you so, and that answer is receipted too. Already paying for a data seat? Keep it. Bring it. We read it against your mandate every day. The intelligence is rented; the discipline is ours.
