## New this week

### Hive Context Layer

Every defect in your report gets a small AI insight box showing three things:

* **How common it is nationally** — how often the defect shows up across the US or Canada
* **How common it is in your state** — local grounding for the finding
* **Ease of repair** — a quick note on how straightforward the fix usually is

It appears in a clearly separated box labeled **Hive Context — AI Market Insight**, so it's always distinct from your own findings.

**Why it matters:** a red defect like a missing smoke detector is a routine fix, but to a first-time buyer it can look like a deal-killer. With context on how common each issue really is, your reports read informative instead of alarmist, and you get fewer panicked follow-up calls after you release a report.
