Land feasibilityin one API call.
Rootfifteen turns any coordinate on Earth into a 0–100 land score, using live satellite, climate, terrain and hazard data. Built under the technical guidance of ISRO scientists. Weeks of survey work become a single request. Five-minute read.
Nobody knows if a piece of land works until they physically go there.
Pre-construction due diligence still means field teams, DGPS receivers and total stations scouting large tracts for weeks just to answer basic feasibility questions.
A single preliminary site survey runs into lakhs. Firms screen only a handful of options because each one costs real money and calendar time.
GIS platforms and imagery marketplaces hand you layers and pixels. Somebody still has to be a remote-sensing expert to turn that into a decision.
The result: land is chosen on relationships and intuition, and the bad news arrives after money is committed.
One request in. One decision-grade number out.
A project manager reads one number and a band. No GIS training, no imagery licences, no interpretation layer to hire.
Because a check costs a request instead of a site visit, teams can rank hundreds of candidate parcels before anyone travels.
Every score ships with the raw surface, climate, terrain and hazard values behind it, plus a plain-English summary.
A large, already-spending market — we sell the decision, not the pixels.
Global commercial Earth-observation analytics and geospatial services spend, growing at a low-to-mid teens CAGR.
Land feasibility, site selection and agri land assessment across India, South-East Asia and the Middle East — our two live verticals only.
A realistic 3-year target: roughly 1% of SAM, reachable with ~150 mid-size EPC, infrastructure and agri-finance accounts on annual API contracts.
Figures are our own estimates, built bottom-up from published EO-analytics market sizing and target-account counts. Treat as directional, not audited.
Deep tech under the hood, one number on the surface.
Sentinel-2 L2A at 10–20 m, Copernicus DEM for terrain, multi-year climate reanalysis and recorded seismic history — fetched live per coordinate.
A weighted fusion of surface, climate, terrain and geohazard pillars with hard gates for disqualifying conditions such as open water.
The same coordinate returns different indicators and bands for Farming versus Construction, because the two care about opposite things.
A 250-site backtest across farms, deserts, cities, mountains and coasts — with every miss published on the accuracy page.
API subscriptions, priced on volume.
Enterprise seats and call quotas sold per organisation, renewed annually. Land screening is a recurring workflow, not a one-off purchase.
Metered per-call pricing beyond the included volume. A 15,000-hectare screening grid alone is hundreds to thousands of calls.
Data sources are open and free at source. Cost per assessment is compute and bandwidth, so gross margin stays high as volume scales.
We are pre-revenue. Pricing is being set with design partners, so we are not publishing CAC or LTV figures we cannot yet defend.
Everyone else sells data. We sell the verdict.
| Option | What you get | Expertise needed |
|---|---|---|
| Field survey teams | Ground truth, weeks later | High · and expensive |
| GIS / imagery platforms | Layers and pixels | Remote-sensing specialist |
| Consulting reports | A PDF per site | Outsourced, slow |
| Rootfifteen | A 0–100 score + verdict, instantly | None |
Data sources are public and replicable. The calibrated weighting, gating and band logic that turns them into a trusted number is not.
The core scoring algorithm is currently being prepared for a patent application.
Every scored coordinate and every logged miss feeds back into calibration, so accuracy improves with usage.
Land where a single customer screens thousands of sites.
Direct founder-led sales into large EPC and infrastructure firms, where one contract covers a national pipeline of sites.
Banks and insurers underwriting land-backed exposure need a defensible, repeatable land number per parcel.
The public demo and docs let a technical buyer validate the product before any sales conversation.
Grants, research partnerships and published accuracy work make procurement easier in conservative sectors.
Live product, real data, credible backing.
Backed with an $8,750 USD grant through Emergent Ventures at the Mercatus Center, George Mason University — non-dilutive funding that took V1 from concept to a live, publicly testable API.
Civet Projects: a ₹10,000 crore order book as our anchor design partner target.
We are in discussion with Civet Projects Private Limited, an EPC firm with a reported order book of around ₹10,000 crore, for a design-partner deployment on live pre-construction site selection. One such account screens hundreds of sites a year, so a single contract validates both the product and the pricing model.
Potential partnership · not yet contracted
An EPC design partner gives us real site outcomes to calibrate against — the feedback loop that makes the score model harder to copy.
Two verticals today. The same score sells into eight more.
Each vertical reuses the same data pipeline and score model — we only tune indicators and bands, so a new market is weeks of work, not a new company.
V2 adds higher-resolution imagery and polygon-level assessment instead of single points. That is the release that makes these eight verticals sellable at enterprise scale.
Three targets for the next twelve months.
Register with IN-SPACe to pursue a formal working relationship with ISRO and to onboard technical advisors from within the Indian space ecosystem.
The core scoring algorithm is being prepared for a patent application — protecting the one part of the stack that cannot be replicated from open data.
Higher-resolution imagery, polygon-level assessment instead of point queries, and the next set of verticals mapped out on our roadmap page.
Raising to scale a live API into a category standard.
V2 resolution, polygon assessment and the infrastructure to serve enterprise call volumes reliably.
