CQC Report-Card Intelligence

4 credits / call (8 on the free plan)

A CQC inspection report → structured ratings, summary and concerns.

Feed in a Care Quality Commission inspection report and get back the overall rating, the five key questions, strengths, concerns and any enforcement — structured. Care-sector due diligence that took an afternoon of reading, returned as JSON in seconds.

Care Quality Commission reports carry exactly what due diligence needs — the overall rating, the five key questions, enforcement history — buried in prose across PDFs and JavaScript-rendered pages. This endpoint structures all of it: paste a cqc.org.uk location URL (yes, it renders their site properly) or the report text, and get comparable JSON back in seconds. Institution-level only, never staff or patient names, with the regulator's own ratings kept distinct from our flagged summary.

Why developers pick it

Ratings are CQC's, analysis is flagged

The extracted ratings are the regulator's own official judgements; the summary layer is clearly marked as an indicative AI reading.

Screen a whole portfolio

Care groups, funders and analysts structure every home's report in one pass instead of reading PDFs.

Institution-level, clean

Never extracts staff, patient or inspector names — service-level facts only.
