Greensheet is the only direct substitute a BC contractor is already evaluating, and the only competitor whose rate card and coverage list are public. They list 50 jurisdictions to our 49 in this province — and jurisdiction count is the wrong comparison. What remains in their exclusive column is 7 municipalities totalling 58,968 residents, plus 2 regional districts. Ours includes the whole of Vancouver Island, which they do not serve at all.

✱ not covered means we hold no permit feed for that jurisdiction. Five of their seven regional districts are now covered; regional districts issue permits for unincorporated rural land, so the remaining two are a product decision about rural scope rather than a collection backlog. Coverage tier reflects what the product can do in a market: A full map and heat map, B map with some permits not yet plotted, C search and list only.

Price, at every point on their map

There is no British Columbia package. Every figure in our column is an individual region, or several regions run through the standard multi-region discount — the same ladder any buyer gets anywhere in the country. Their column is a real SKU; ours is arithmetic on the published price list.

They have mapping and routing — a map that generates directions between project sites and visualises hotspots. Those are table stakes and claiming them invites a correction in front of the prospect. The strongest claim is the absent value floor, because it is a consequence of their collection model rather than a setting they can change: reaching a 1,300-person village by records request costs a person's time, which caps refresh at weekly and makes transcribing an $8,000 deck permit uneconomic. Automated collection inverts both — daily refresh, no floor — and pays for it in tail coverage. That trade is the whole difference between the two products.
