Property Guard advances instant searching with Talos

(Dallas, TX) Property Guard releases Talos, a proprietary scoring system developed over the course of years of reviewing tens of thousands of individual listings for properties.  Under the hood, many complex evaluations leveraging different machine learning algorithms are combined into a mosaic that is used to guide an instant evaluation of the likelihood that a listing exists at your property.  

How is Talos Used by Property Guard?

Currently, Talos is used in the following ways:

1. To provide a guidance score on a per-listing basis.  Rather than sorting by distance or other simple metrics, most data on the Property Guard dashboard is now sorted by the Talos score.  The higher the score, the more likely it is a listing at a property.
2. To sort out likely and unlikely listings at your property/portfolio.  Each property has an "ignore" and "watch" threshold, which correspond to the ignore and watch thresholds on the dashboard.  Any listing with a Talos score below the ignore threshold will automatically be ignored (but stored for reference).  Any score above the watch threshold will be watched, screen-captured, and reported to you on a daily basis.  This means that the instant searches are now also given instant determinations.
3. To validate all listings.  100% of listings gathered for a property will be validated by the Talos system.  Depending on your Property Guard level you may also have your listings confirmed by one of the Property Guard staff.
