Every page in the sitemap, listed
4,038 of them are the permit ledger — one Chicago trade against one ISO week or one calendar month, holding every matching permit the City issued in it, read live from dataset ydr8-5enu and re-read daily. The rest are the feed, reference and method pages. Each Monday adds 22 pages; no deploy is involved.
A trade-week or trade-month holding fewer than 3 permits is left out of this count and out of sitemap.xml, and its page carries noindex. The page still serves in full to anyone who asks for it — it just does not compete for a ranking on a handful of rows. Both decisions call the same isIndexable in lib/permits.ts, so the sitemap cannot list a page that tells Google to ignore it.

Core pages
Hand-written, one per feed plus the method page. These carry the pricing and the sourcing; the ledger below carries the records.
| Route | Page | What's on it |
|---|---|---|
| / | Home | The platform: four feeds, the morning-pull mechanics, and a live proof table. |
| /permits | Permit Signal | Electrical and fire-alarm contractors — From $249/mo · enriched $750/mo |
| /haulrisk | HaulRisk | Commercial truck insurance agencies — $1,500–$2,500/mo · one state, exclusive |
| /licences | Opening + Renewal Signal | B2B vendors in Cook County — $750/mo per category · exclusive in Cook County |
| /done-for-you | Done-For-You Client Engine | One vertical — yours — Build $10–15K once · fuel $1,500–2,500/mo |
| /about | About | The four datasets by ID, how a record earns its row, and what we refuse to publish. |
| /pricing | Pricing | Every plan and price on one page, from lib/plans.ts. |
| /corpus | Corpus | This page — the index of everything above and below it. |
| /answers | Answers | Index of 20 hand-written reference entries on permits, licences and FMCSA records. |
The 20 entries under /answers are listed individually in sitemap.xml and counted above. Live routes outside the count: /dfy is a 308 redirect to /done-for-you; the two /checkout result pages are transactional and stay out on purpose.
The permit ledger — 4,038 pages
Browsable below: the last 12 ISO weeks and 12 months for each of the 22 trades. Newest first. The date on each week is that week’s Monday; week ids are ISO 8601, so 2026-W37 is the week running now. Everything older than this slice is in sitemap.xml — back to 156 weeks and 36 months — and renders on first request.

Machine-readable
Every one of the 4,038 record pages serves the same records as JSON at /chicago/permits/{trade}/{week}/data.json or /chicago/permits/{trade}/month/{YYYY-MM}/data.json — declared on the page as its schema.org Dataset distribution — and /llms.txt states the URL pattern, the trade list, the dataset ID and the citation rules for any model reading the site.
