Project Intel transforms planning-linked public evidence into practical intelligence that helps businesses understand what is changing, what deserves attention and what may be worth monitoring over time.
No sales call required.
The Edinburgh Hospitality Premises Activity Briefing is the first public example of the Project Intel approach.
The briefing reviews hospitality premises activity identified through planning-linked public evidence and presents selected examples, observations, recurring themes and source-linked commentary.
We are currently sharing the briefing free of charge with a small number of relevant businesses.
In return we ask for:
Designed for:
Built from:
More than a year of planning application coverage across Central Belt councils
Ongoing monitoring rather than one-off searches
Public evidence rather than private deal-room information
Human interpretation layered onto the evidence.
Source-linked review and commentary
Project Intel is built around evidence review, monitoring and interpretation rather than one-off searches or generic market commentary.
The objective is simple:
Help businesses understand what deserves attention before it becomes obvious.
Project Intel is not:
a lead list
a forecasting service
a sales database
a guarantee of work
Project Intel monitors planning-linked public evidence across multiple sectors, including hospitality, residential, commercial, industrial and mixed-use development.

Planning signals are early-stage public evidence and should not be treated as confirmed opportunities.
Planning Signals are the first visibility layer.
Development Watchlists track what continues to matter over time.
Intelligence Briefings explain what the evidence may mean for a place, sector or market.
Bespoke Intelligence Support is used when a specific commercial question needs deeper interpretation.
