SCVNEW / REPORTER SYSTEM

Find the signal.
Show the work.

SCVNew does not turn a headline, a post, or a sales-page change into a buyer claim until the evidence is preserved, dated, and explained.

WATCHER BASELINE

Approved sources, checked before a story exists.

The local watcher snapshots the Valencia new-homes page, the County planning index, and a dated Lennar announcement. It preserves structured evidence and flags a change for review. It never publishes, subscribes, contacts, or routes anyone.
