J's framing: "if a contractor works for Target, future Target contracts
mean money flows back to the contractor — the ticker is an associated
indicator." Now the profiler index attaches three flavors of ticker per
contractor and renders them as colored pills:
green DIRECT contractor IS the public issuer (Target Corp → TGT)
amber PARENT contractor is a subsidiary of a public parent
(Turner Construction → HOC.DE via Hochtief AG)
blue ASSOCIATED contractor co-appears on permits with a public
entity (TORNOW, KYLE F → TGT, 3 shared permits with
TARGET CORPORATION)
The associated flavor is the correlation signal J described — it pulls
the ticker for whoever the contractor has been working *with*, not
just what they are themselves. Most contractors are private; the
associated link is how the moat shows up.
Server-side:
- entity.ts new export `lookupTickerLite(name)` — cheap in-memory
resolver that does only the SEC tickers index lookup + curated
KNOWN_PARENT_MAP check, no per-call SEC profile or Stooq fetch.
~10ms per name after the index is loaded once.
- /intelligence/profiler_index now runs a third Socrata pull
(5K permit pairs in window) to build a co-occurrence map. For each
contractor in the result, attaches:
.tickers.direct[] — name matches a public issuer
.tickers.associated[] — top 5 co-permit partners that resolve
to a ticker, with partner_name +
co_permits count + partner_via reason
Front-end:
- mcp-server/profiler.html — new .ticker-pill styles (3 colors per
attribution kind), pills render under the contractor name in the
table. Hover title gives the full reason path.
Verified end-to-end on the public URL:
search="tornow" → blue TGT pill, hint "Associated via co-permits
with TARGET CORPORATION (3 shared permits) —
TARGET CORP"
search="target" → green TGT × 2 (TARGET CORPORATION +
CORPORATION TARGET name variants both resolve
direct to the same issuer)
default top 200 → 15 ticker pills surface across the page including
JPM (via JPMORGAN CHASE BANK co-permits) and
parent-link tickers for the construction majors.
The contractor.html click-target J asked for: a separate page (not a
modal, not a fall-through search) showing every angle on a contractor.
Reachable from the Co-Pilot dashboard, the staffers console, and the
search box — all anchor-wrap contractor names to /contractor?name=...
What's new on the page:
1. PROJECT INDEX — build-signal score
Single 0-100 number with the drivers laid out beneath. Driver list
is staffer-readable: "59 Chicago permits in 180d (+30) · OSHA 20
inspections (-25) · federal contractor (+15)". Score weights are
placeholders to be replaced by an ML model once the 12 awaiting
sources ship — the current 6 wired signals would not give a real
model enough features.
2. HEAT MAP — every Chicago permit they've been contact_1 or contact_2
on, last 24 months, plotted on a leaflet dark map. Color by cost
(green <$100K, amber $100K-$1M, red ≥$1M), radius proportional to
cost so the staffer sees where money + activity concentrates. Click
a marker for permit detail (cost, date, work type, address, permit
ID). All 50 of Turner Construction's geocoded recent permits in
Chicago plot end-to-end.
3. ACTIVITY TIMELINE — monthly permit count, bar chart, with the
first/last month labels so the staffer sees momentum. Tooltip on
each bar gives the count and total cost for that month.
4. 12 AWAITING SOURCES — placeholder cards for the public datasets
that would 3× the build-signal feature count. Each card has:
- source name (real, e.g. DOL Wage & Hour, EPA ECHO, MSHA, BBB)
- one-liner in coordinator language ("Has this contractor stiffed
workers? Will they pay our staffing invoices?")
- "Would show:" sample shape so the engineering scope is concrete
Order is staffing-decision relevance:
1. DOL Wage & Hour (WHD violations)
2. State Licensure Boards (active license + expiry)
3. Surety Bond Capacity (bonding ceiling)
4. EPA ECHO Compliance (env violations at sites)
5. DOT/FMCSA Carrier Safety (crash + OOS rates)
6. BBB Complaints + Rating
7. PACER Civil Suits (FLSA / Title VII / ADA)
8. UCC Lien Filings (cash flow distress)
9. D&B / Credit Bureau (PAYDEX, payment behavior)
10. State UI Employer Claims (workforce stability)
11. MSHA Mine Safety (excavation / aggregate / heavy)
12. Registered Apprenticeships (DOL RAPIDS pipeline)
Server-side: entity.ts fetchContractorHistory now pulls the 50 most
recent permits with id + lat/lng + work_description, so the heat map
and timeline have what they need without a second SQL hop. The
ContractorHistory.recent_permits type gained the optional fields.
Front-end: contractor.html got 4 new render sections, leaflet wiring
(stylesheet + script in head), placeholder grid CSS, and a PLACEHOLDERS
const at the bottom with the 12 sources. All popup HTML is built via
DOM construction (textContent + appendChild) — no innerHTML, no XSS.
console.html: contractor names from /intelligence/permit_contracts now
anchor-wrapped to /contractor?name=... so the click-through J described
works from the staffers console too. Click stops propagation so the
permit details element doesn't toggle on the same click.
