FUTURE · NOT PART OF THE CURRENT API

Future

The same score.Eight more industries.

Land Intelligence API v1 ships two live verticals today: Construction and Farming. The sectors on this page are where the same coordinate-level scoring is headed next. Nothing here is available yet.

READ THIS FIRST
This page is a roadmap, not a product page.

None of the sectors below are part of the current Land Intelligence API v1. They are not tuned, not calibrated, and not supported today. The API you can use right now covers two verticals only — Construction and Farming. Everything here is exploratory work planned for future versions.

WHY ONE API COVERS ALL OF THEM

Every sector below asks the same physical question.

Is this ground stable, dry, flat, green, or hazardous? An insurer, a data-centre planner and a solar developer read different answers out of the same measurements. Future versions re-weight the same observation set per sector — the request stays a latitude, a longitude and a mode.

Same input

A coordinate and a mode. No shapefiles, no uploads.

Same measurements

Sentinel-2 indices, Copernicus DEM terrain, NASA POWER climate, USGS seismicity.

Different weighting

Each sector weights terrain, surface, climate and georisk differently.

Same output shape

One 0–100 score, a band, four sub-scores and the raw observations.

FUTURE SECTORS

Eight sectors, and how the score would be used in each.

For each sector: what it needs, how the API call would be used, which outputs matter, and the concrete jobs it would do. All planned — none of it live in v1.

01Future — not in v1

Real Estate & Land Development

Land is bought and sold on paperwork long before anyone measures the ground. A coordinate-level score turns physical reality into a number a deal team can compare.

HOW THE API WOULD BE USED

Send the plot centroid, read the headline score plus terrain and hydrology observations, and use the band to decide whether the parcel is worth survey and legal spend at all.

OUTPUTS THAT MATTER
slope_percentlocal_relief_mndwielevation_mrootfifteen_score
Pre-acquisition desktop screening

Filter out high-risk or undevelopable plots before dispatching survey teams or paying legal due-diligence fees.

Speculative land banking

Find low-cost rural plots on urban fringes that already carry favourable terrain scores for future rezoning.

CRE investment memos

Generate automated physical-risk annexes to attach to investment memos for institutional buyers and limited partners.

Comparative parcel analysis

Score competing parcels side by side to see which asset carries the lowest environmental risk and preparation cost.

Remote property valuation

Cross-check a seller's listing against actual terrain, water and slope reality, and negotiate the price from evidence.

Land assembly for large developments

Score every pocket in a target block to sequence acquisitions from the easiest, lowest-risk parcels outward.

02Future — not in v1

Renewable Energy & Utilities

Solar, wind and transmission projects live or die on flatness, clearance cost and ground stability across very large footprints.

HOW THE API WOULD BE USED

Score a grid of coordinates across the parcel or along the corridor, then rank by terrain and surface sub-scores before any land is optioned.

OUTPUTS THAT MATTER
slope_percentlocal_relief_mndviseismic_events_5yrcomponents.terrain
Utility-scale solar siting

Pre-screen large flat parcels with low vegetation cover — less clearing cost, less shading relief, better solar exposure.

Wind turbine array placement

Read elevation peaks, local relief and terrain smoothness to inform wind capture and foundation stability.

Powerline interconnect routing

Evaluate ground stability, flood signals and steep slopes along proposed high-voltage transmission corridors.

Biomass facility feasibility

Assess climate metrics, regional water availability and seismic history for a safe, workable plant location.

Utility asset vulnerability audits

Re-score existing grid assets against landslide, seismic and flood exposure to prioritise reinforcement budgets.

Battery storage siting

Find flat, stable, flood-free land near generation assets where the grid needs storage most.

03Future — not in v1

Insurance & Reinsurance

Most property risk is still priced at postcode resolution. A deterministic per-coordinate score makes single-asset physical risk pricable and auditable.

HOW THE API WOULD BE USED

Score every insured coordinate on the same axis, store the score with the policy, and re-score after an event to compare before and after.

OUTPUTS THAT MATTER
rootfifteen_scorecomponents.georiskndwiannual_precipitation_mmseismic_max_magnitude_5yr
Property underwriting risk scoring

Calculate localised environmental risk — water proximity, slope, seismic history — for new commercial applicants at quote time.

Portfolio concentration auditing

Run thousands of insured coordinates to measure dangerous exposure concentration in low-lying or high-hazard zones.

Parametric verification

Use automated climate and moisture metrics to validate and process parametric payouts without a field adjuster.

Claims analysis

Compare baseline pre-event terrain and water conditions against post-event readings to support or dispute a claim.

Reinsurance climate modelling

Assess macro climate and terrain vulnerability across multi-region portfolios when pricing catastrophe cover.

Flood risk mapping

Score every insured coordinate against current water and moisture signals to refresh flood zones at the asset level.

04Future — not in v1

Banking, Private Equity & Infrastructure Finance

Collateral and greenfield project decisions rest on land that nobody in the credit committee has stood on.

HOW THE API WOULD BE USED

One call per asset produces a standardised physical due-diligence line item that can be stored, re-run and defended in committee.

OUTPUTS THAT MATTER
rootfifteen_scoreclassificationcomponentsmean_temperature_cannual_precipitation_mm
Mortgage collateral valuation

Score raw land pledged as collateral to confirm it is not sitting in an uninsurable or undevelopable hazard zone.

ESG & climate-risk compliance

Automate physical climate-risk reporting — extreme heat, flooding exposure — for property assets under ESG mandates.

Distressed asset triage

Screen large portfolios of bank-owned property to separate developable sites from unviable ones, fast.

Infrastructure fund feasibility

Benchmark greenfield projects across emerging markets on one standardised, unbiased coordinate score.

Investment board approvals

Produce a standardised one-page physical due-diligence annex to streamline committee approvals.

Project finance greenfield screening

Add a defensible physical-risk line item to credit and term-sheet discussions before first drawdown.

05Future — not in v1

Logistics, Warehousing & Supply Chain

Distribution networks need very flat, flood-free, well-connected land — and visibility into the ground under every critical supplier.

HOW THE API WOULD BE USED

Score candidate sites and supplier coordinates on the same axis, then re-score periodically to catch physical disruption risk early.

OUTPUTS THAT MATTER
slope_percentndbindwimean_temperature_crootfifteen_score
Fulfilment centre siting

Screen very flat parcels near existing urban infrastructure (NDBI) for logistics hubs and automated warehouses.

Towers, fibre and data centres are placed on the basis of terrain, seismicity and ambient climate more than anything else.

HOW THE API WOULD BE USED

Score high points, trench routes and candidate campuses, and rank them on terrain and georisk sub-scores before acquisition.

OUTPUTS THAT MATTER
elevation_mlocal_relief_mseismic_events_5yrndbicomponents.georisk
Cell tower & 5G mast siting

Identify elevation high points with clear terrain and stable foundation profiles for heavy transmission structures.
