“Couldn’t I just ask an LLM?”
You could — but a chatbot writes from memory. NestMatch queries live, verified data. One search, 20 areas, side by side:
| NestMatch | LLM chat | |
|---|---|---|
| Areas per search | 20, ranked & scored for you | 5–10 generic names |
| Datapoints | Thousands, from 1.5M+ records | A few paragraphs of prose |
| House prices | 675K+ real sales, street by street | Guesses — often hallucinated |
| Commute times | Live, traffic-aware routes | Rough estimates from memory |
| Maps & boundaries | Interactive, with price overlays | Text only |
| Photos | Licensed shots of every area | None |
| Sources | Every number traceable (see below) | Sometimes invented |
| Ask twice | Same data, every time | A different answer each time |
