# Record Foundry

> Record Foundry (a brand of Good Life Games LLC, Austin, Texas) sells focused data APIs and done-for-you research reports built from public government records, plus spreadsheet clean-up automation. APIs run on Apify; done-for-you services are ordered on Fiverr. Contact: matthew@goodlifegames.io

Reports come from official public sources and fixed processing rules, with a link or reference to the source record. Coverage varies by dataset: Chicago includes commercial and residential property-use records. Record Foundry adds no personal contact enrichment; see each dataset’s coverage and privacy limitations. No LLM calls are used to produce the API reports. Services are research and data work only: no bid or grant writing, legal advice, or guaranteed awards or funding.
