# Should I Buy This? (SIBT)
> property history-style Property Health Score for Canadian homes — flood risk, air quality, schools, and more from 29 government and public sources.

## About
Should I Buy This? (SIBT.ca) is a Canadian property intelligence product that analyzes any address across 7 pillars and returns a Property Health Score (0-100). It is designed for home buyers and realtors who want diligence before an offer — not a listing marketplace.

## What SIBT Does
- **Property Health Score**: Proprietary 0-100 score across climate risk, neighbourhood quality, accessibility, economic strength, environmental safety, property potential, and livability
- **Flood zone context**: NRCan-linked flood hazard view inside the report
- **Air quality and environment**: Government and public environmental signals
- **Schools and neighbourhood**: Nearby schools, amenities, and livability context
- **Commute and accessibility**: Drive / transit style commute context
- **Comparison and PDF reports**: Side-by-side comparison and downloadable reports

## Key Differentiators
- Positioned as a property history-style report for Canadian homes
- Built from **29** government and public data sources (not estimates alone)
- First full report free — no credit card required
- Focused on should I buy THIS address rather than listing search
