Stage 1
Publish candidate sites and performance data
Capture intent and source evidence without inventing a more precise state than the inputs support.
Production solution blueprint
Choose the next store with evidence
Combine catchments, demographics, competition, access, and existing performance.
Business outcomeFaster site screening and investment decisions grounded in a reusable spatial model.
The operating situation
A retailer is comparing 60 candidate neighbourhoods for 12 stores. Analysts must combine travel-time catchments, competition, demographics, access and existing performance, explain every score, prevent data drift between committee meetings, and revoke a shared decision view after the acquisition window closes.

Keep authority explicit across the stack
01Enterprise data productsOwn approved store performance, candidate, demand, competition and financial datasets with source, license, observation date and steward.
02mGIS version registryPublishes immutable spatial dataset versions with content hash, schema, CRS, validation diagnostics and access policy.
03Analysis engineCreates parameterized catchments, joins exact input versions, normalizes signals and writes immutable scoring attempts and lineage.
04Analyst decision labCompares candidates, sensitivity and exclusions without mutating source evidence; comments and selections name result revisions.
05Governed sharingAudience, expiry, export/embed rules, executive narrative and revocation wrap one immutable result rather than an untraceable screenshot.

Stage 2
Generate drive-time catchments
Advance through an idempotent boundary, preserve stable Mappls identity, and expose freshness and ownership.

Stage 3
Join demand and competition signals
Advance through an idempotent boundary, preserve stable Mappls identity, and expose freshness and ownership.

Stage 4
Score and compare candidates
Advance through an idempotent boundary, preserve stable Mappls identity, and expose freshness and ownership.

Stage 5
Share an executive decision map
Reconcile the terminal result to every authoritative system and retain attributable evidence.
Records that must survive restarts and retries
Dataset version ↔ source/license/date/schema/CRS/content hash
Version, authorize, retain, observe, and reconcile this relationship explicitly; do not recover it later from display text or logs.
Catchment attempt ↔ route profile, threshold, input versions, engine version
Version, authorize, retain, observe, and reconcile this relationship explicitly; do not recover it later from display text or logs.
Score attempt ↔ normalization, weights, exclusions, ties, output hash
Version, authorize, retain, observe, and reconcile this relationship explicitly; do not recover it later from display text or logs.
Share ↔ result revision, audience, expiry, export/embed policy, revocation
Version, authorize, retain, observe, and reconcile this relationship explicitly; do not recover it later from display text or logs.
Design recovery before rollout
Demographic feed changes mid-analysis
Publish a new immutable input version and rerun; retain both result revisions and prevent silent replacement.
Candidate geometry has the wrong CRS
Fail before processing with feature-level diagnostics and require a corrected dataset version.
Executive link is forwarded
Enforce audience/expiry, log access, prohibit export where required, and revoke the share without deleting lineage.

Governed spatial analysis
Ingest versioned data, validate and publish it, execute reproducible analysis, review lineage, and share a governed decision layer.
statefulConsented address verification
Normalize a declared service address, capture purpose-bound device evidence, apply an explainable versioned policy, require human review where evidence is weak, and retire precise data without erasing accountability.
