One platform · many feeds
Your next customer is already in the public record.
Kova Signals reads government data every morning — Chicago building permits, FMCSA suspension notices, Chicago business licences — and delivers the records that mean a business has to act. Buyers subscribe to the feeds they want: one platform, one login, many feeds. Every row links back to the government’s own record.
Nothing here is our estimate.
Every figure below is a count against a public dataset, measured on the date shown, with the dataset ID printed next to it so you can run the same query. No login, no scraping, no vendor in the middle.
| Figure | What it is | Source |
|---|---|---|
| 2,744 | Building permits issued in Chicago in the last 30 days | City of Chicago ydr8-5enu · 2026-07-29 |
| 5,319 | Distinct contractors on those permits across 90 days — 1,998 active this month | City of Chicago ydr8-5enu · 2026-07-29 |
| 3,681 | FMCSA suspension orders in the last complete month (June 2026), nationally | FMCSA wb4f-neki · 2026-07-28 |
| 99.7% | Suspension notices that publish before their own effective date (n = 6,990) — the carrier is still on the clock when the record appears | FMCSA wb4f-neki · 2026-07-28 |
| 603 | New Chicago business licences issued in the 30 days to 29 July 2026 — 259 of them transient permits we throw out | City of Chicago r5kz-chrr · 2026-07-29 |
| 5,056 | Active Chicago licences expiring within 60 days — 2,405 of them within 30 | City of Chicago r5kz-chrr · 2026-07-29 |
| 1 day | Gap between the newest licence in the city register and the day we read it | City of Chicago r5kz-chrr · 2026-07-29 |
The one number we will not show you is a close rate. We have not measured one, so we do not have one. Where a figure is missing on this site, it is missing because it was never measured.
The four feeds
Some are corpus feeds — every subscriber receives the same connected dataset. Some are exclusive — one agency per state, one vendor per category. Each card says which.

The source is gated before any build — if it fails, there is no build fee

The feedProof before payment. Three steps.
1
Ask for three real records.
We send three real records from your trade, your state, or your category — free, nothing to sign, each with the government source link attached. Check them before you read another line.
2
Judge a real week.
If the three are the kind of record you’d want every morning, reply “send this week’s” and the full current week arrives — still free — so you judge the feed on a real week, not a sample.
3
Subscribe.
The feed arrives every cycle after that. If it ever stops being worth it, cancelling should be the obvious thing to do — we would rather you did that than keep paying for a login.
Founding rate · Permit Signal
The first five Illinois subscribers lock $249/month for life — the price rises after that. Pay 9 months up front — $2,241 — and you get 12.
