Most of our work falls into the two areas below. We also take on projects in other fields when the work involves large public records or large volumes of imagery.
A
Environmental review and permitting data
The problem
The record for a single federal decision is spread across many systems, and each one formats it differently. People planning around these decisions often end up relying on anecdotes or numbers they can't trace.
What we do
We collect that record into one structured dataset, with each figure linked to the document it came from.
For
Project sponsors and consultants planning schedules, counsel weighing litigation risk, and permitting researchers.

Lead agency files
Challenge
Court and administrative filings
B
Geospatial and remote sensing
The problem
Many records describe places on the ground that nobody has visited in years, and the recorded locations are often off. Sending crews out is expensive, and imagery on its own won't tell you which feature matches which record.
What we do
We compare satellite imagery against the records, so teams can see where conditions have changed and decide where to go first.
For
State plugging programs, oil and gas regulators, land managers, and environmental researchers.
