Chicago Construction Activity Signal Engine
Every contractor name in this corpus is also a forward indicator on the public equities they touch. Permits filed today predict construction starts ~45 days out, staffing windows ~2 weeks before that, and revenue recognition months later. The associated-ticker network surfaces this signal before it lands in any 10-Q.
