I was at the MTC Technology Forum and I was asked if CRT would be interested in taking up a data integrity project for MLS. Similar requests were made over the summer from a couple of MLS organizations in states too.
Basically, the project would apply rules to incoming listings as a quality assurance process. Listings that fail the test would have their owners notified. The processing from this standpoint is similar to that of the PolicyPage project.
CRT had worked on a project we called “Hercules” two years ago, but we never released the project. Hercules performed “Broker Load”.
If there is interest in a new project that uses rules (PolicyPage) to perform a Quality Assurance step on uploaded listings (Hercules), please let us know.
