Spatial capability for land management
and master planning
The same question comes up on every land and planning programme: what can we actually do with the data we have, and what has to be true before we can do it. This section groups the catalogue by that capability rather than by product type.

How this is organised
Land management and master planning work runs in a rough sequence: establish the land record, capture current ground truth, analyse what the land can support, plan and model it, coordinate the infrastructure, and govern the data throughout. The seven capabilities below follow that sequence. Most programmes are strong in two or three of them and discover the gaps late.
01
Land information foundation
The base records everything else is measured against. Parcels, addresses and protected areas have to be authoritative before any plan drawn on top of them can be defended.

Applications
Six products on one engine
The catalogue above is what we hand over as documents. These are the same methods running as software — each one a decision made repeatedly enough to be worth automating. They share a single engine: the geometry, the geodesic measurement, the constraint overlay and the evidence trail do not change between them. What changes is the data feed and the rules. Each one also takes a LiDAR pass where the client has flown one, which is what moves the answer from a map someone interprets to a measurement someone can be held to.
GeoFarm
Every field, every season, on one page.
Satellite indices are read per field block rather than per scene, so performance is comparable between blocks and between seasons. Water drawn is set against the entitlement for that block, which turns an agronomy conversation into a compliance one.
With a LiDAR pass Terrain wetness and depth-to-water show where irrigation water actually goes, and slope shows which blocks are losing soil rather than yield. Comparing two surveys gives land-levelling volumes. An index anomaly stops being a fact and becomes a cause. What that involves →
Pilot $12,000 – $24,000 One estate, three seasons, 8 weeks, fixed scope and price
GeoSite
Proof that the work was actually done.
Field staff capture on a phone with no signal and sync later. Every photograph carries its own position, and every claim carries the evidence behind it, so a progress dispute is settled with a record rather than a meeting.
With a LiDAR pass Two flights over the same work package give earthwork volumes, by period, measured off the ground rather than agreed in a meeting. A claim for 40,000 cubic metres moved is checked, not negotiated — which is usually the largest single line in the valuation. What that involves →
Pilot $9,000 – $18,000 One programme, 6 weeks, fixed scope and price
GeoGrid
See who loses service the moment an asset fails.
The network is traced rather than drawn: break any asset and the system returns what is downstream of it, which customers are affected, and which crew is closest. The same trace supports planned shutdowns, which is where most of the value sits.
With a LiDAR pass Canopy height along the line, with individual trees detected and measured, produces a clearance breach per span ranked by severity. That is a prioritised trim list instead of a blanket cycle, and it is the number that sits behind an outage and wildfire case. What that involves →
Pilot $18,000 – $36,000 One network or district, 10–12 weeks, fixed scope and price
GeoGreen
Proof that what you planted is still alive.
Canopy is compared between two dates and reported as a survival rate per block, against the planting record and what was paid for it. The output is a replanting list and a figure a programme can report without qualifying it.
With a LiDAR pass Trees are counted and measured individually, not inferred from a satellite pixel too coarse to see a two-metre sapling. Two dates give survival per block and growth per surviving tree; the structure metrics give the habitat quality an ESG report is asking for. What that involves →
Pilot $12,000 – $24,000 One programme, two dates, 8 weeks, fixed scope and price
GeoRisk
Know which plots flood before you sell them.
Terrain and published or modelled flood extents are held against the plot register, so exposure is a property of each plot rather than a map someone has to interpret. It answers the question a buyer, a lender and an insurer all ask separately.
With a LiDAR pass This is where it changes the answer most. A 30 m global DEM screens a scheme; a half-metre LiDAR terrain surface names the plots. Exposure becomes “these thirty-four plots and these three substations sit below the 1:100 level, by this many centimetres” — which is the form a lender or an insurer will accept. What that involves →
Pilot $15,000 – $30,000 One scheme, 8–10 weeks, fixed scope and price
GeoRoute
Three routes, priced and compared, in one afternoon.
Constraints become a cost surface, and the surface produces alignments rather than opinions. Each option carries its own land take, so the engineering choice and the acquisition bill are seen together instead of a year apart.
With a LiDAR pass Slope, curvature and wetness at real resolution make the cost surface honest, and canopy height turns clearance into a volume. Each alignment option then carries its own earthworks and vegetation bill, not just a length. What that involves →
Pilot $18,000 – $36,000 One corridor, 10–12 weeks, fixed scope and price
Added capability
What a LiDAR pass adds to every one of them
Most of these clients have already bought a LiDAR survey. A drone or an aircraft flew the site, the surveyor returned a terrain model and a contour set, and the point cloud went into an archive. Everything below was already in that file. The work is turning one delivery into a product line: re-derive it, compare it to the next flight, and count what is standing on it.
| From the pass | What it is | What it lets you decide |
|---|---|---|
| Ground classification | Every point separated into ground and not-ground, across aircraft, drone and tripod surveys, without a specialist retuning the parameters per site. | This is the step that makes a survey cost what it costs. Automating it is what makes everything below repeatable. |
| Bare-earth terrain | A terrain surface at the resolution you ask for, with the buildings, vegetation and plant taken off it. | Turns a plot boundary into a plot with a gradient, a buildable area and a cut-and-fill figure. |
| Surface model | The top of everything — roofs, canopy, stockpiles, plant. | Subtract the terrain and you have the height of every object on site, including the ones nobody recorded. |
| Height-normalised cloud | Every point re-expressed as its height above the ground directly beneath it. | Makes heights comparable across a sloping site, which is the precondition for counting or measuring anything on it. |
| Canopy height | Canopy surfaces by ten different methods, including pit-free and spike-resistant processing. | Vegetation stops being a green area on a map and becomes a height you can put a clearance or a biomass figure against. |
| Terrain derivatives | Slope, aspect, curvature, hillshade, topographic position, wetness index, depth to water, terrain characterisation. | The constraint layers a route, a drainage design or an erosion case is argued from — derived, not digitised. |
| Structure metrics | Canopy cover, mean and maximum height, height variability, foliage height diversity, vertical complexity, point density. | What an environmental regulator or an ESG report actually wants: habitat quality and fuel load, with numbers behind them. |
| Individual trees | Treetops detected and crowns delineated, with the points belonging to each tree extracted as its own record. | Pay per surviving tree, inspect per tree, value per tree. An inventory instead of an estimate. |
| Change between dates | Any two compatible surveys compared — terrain, surface or canopy — with a level-of-detection threshold so noise is not reported as movement. | Volumes moved, ground subsided, canopy gained or lost, each with a defensible statement of what counts as real. |
| Large areas | Buffered tiling, parallel processing and seamless merging, so a district is the same job as a site with more tiles. | The method does not change when the programme scales, so the second scheme costs a fraction of the first. |
What the licence actually buys
- The specialist comes out of the loop. Ground classification normally needs someone who knows the sensor and retunes per site. The classification here adapts to the acquisition geometry itself, across airborne, drone and tripod surveys, so an analyst on your team runs it.
- The archive becomes an asset. Point clouds you have already paid for get re-derived at whatever resolution the current question needs, without going back to the surveyor and without a new flight.
- The second date is where the money is. Volume moved, ground subsided, canopy gained or lost — each reported against a level-of-detection threshold, so what you report as change is defensible when it is challenged.
- Area stops being the constraint. Tiling, parallel processing and merging mean a district is the same job as a site. The method does not change when the programme scales, which is why the second scheme costs a fraction of the first.
Method: this capability is built on FAST-GC, an open-source sensor-adaptive ground-classification framework published under AGPL-3.0. Method reference: Fareed, N.; Numata, I.; Silva, C. A.; Prichard, S. J. (2026), FAST-GC: A Fully Adaptive Self-Tuning Ground Classification Algorithm for Multi-Platform LiDAR Sensors, Preprints.org. It reads LAS and LAZ, which is what every survey contract already delivers — so nothing here asks you to change how you commission a flight. Where no LiDAR exists, the products above still run on satellite and photogrammetric inputs; the LiDAR pass raises the resolution of the answer, it is not a precondition for getting one.

Fixed term, not auto-renewing
A licence runs for its term from the date of payment and then stops. Nothing recurs on your card, and nothing renews without you.
Purchase orders welcome
Authorities and developers can be invoiced against a PO rather than paying by card. Ask and we will raise one.
Your data stays yours
Analysis runs as client-side WebAssembly. Files you open are processed in your browser and never reach our servers.
Pilot ranges above are indicative and scoped per client. Products are in development; a pilot is how the first version gets built, on your data, with you as the design partner.
Applying this to a live programme
These are the tools. Adapting them to your own land record, data standards and delivery programme — and identifying which of the seven capabilities is actually the constraint — is the advisory work.
