Tasteveil

People relocating alone, with military orders or for remote work compare unfamiliar neighborhoods through listing pages, maps, community forums and generic rankings. The supplied research confirms free area-information sites and a recent consultation-oriented entrant, but finds no reviewed self-serve consumer dossier with user-controlled weights and portable monitoring history.

Tasteveil asks about practical needs such as commute patterns, walk-access tolerance, housing cost range, accessibility, environmental concerns, transit, services and hobbies. It excludes religion, politics, race, ethnicity, national origin, disability inference and voter-registration heatmaps from scoring. Crime and school-quality shortcuts can act as protected-class proxies or create false precision; any public safety or education information must remain source-specific, descriptive and outside a composite fit score.

Preference, source observation, normalization, weighting, score, explanation, user correction, visit evidence, offer decision and housing outcome remain separate. Dataset coverage can stop at a city boundary or lag current conditions; the dossier must show geography, date and missingness.

The first release should compare three candidate areas using a small set of transparent dimensions and no property recommendation, steering language or automatic listing alerts.
