Standardize team address inputs

Deploy `verify_address` across your team to ensure everyone uses the same validation logic. It forces consistent formatting for every address in your codebase. Use `autocomplete_address` to speed up form development. It gives your team a shared way to handle user input without reinventing the wheel.

Automate property and risk reporting

Query `enrich_flood_risk` to build automated compliance reports. Your team can use these indices to flag risky properties during the underwriting process. Pull property details with `get_property_info` to populate your internal records. It keeps your data current with the latest county assessor files.

Analyze demographics at scale

Retrieve neighborhood stats using `enrich_demographics` to inform your product strategy. It provides income and spending data that helps you define your target markets. Use `get_local_tax` to automate complex tax calculations. It ensures your billing logic stays compliant by pulling rates from the correct local jurisdictions.
