Stage 1
Discover places by theme and proximity
Capture intent and source evidence without inventing a more precise state than the inputs support.
Production solution blueprint
Turn inspiration into an itinerary
Help travelers discover, sequence, visualize, and open rich place experiences.
Business outcomeMore confident trip planning and higher conversion from discovery to booking.
The operating situation
A family planning a three-day city break saves attractions from editorial stories, nearby search and partner inventory. The product must preserve place identity across languages and sources, sequence a feasible itinerary, show neighbourhood and RealView context, avoid stale opening assumptions, and hand off to booking/navigation without losing the selected place.

Keep authority explicit across the stack
01Travel content and inventoryOwn editorial collections, commercial availability, pricing, disclosures and booking outcome while mapping every item to a stable place identity.
02Place discoverySearch/nearby and curated sources resolve to Mappls Pins with provenance, language/display labels and duplicate reconciliation.
03Itinerary aggregateOwns ordered saved place IDs, day/time constraints, route revisions, visits/skips, sharing and deliberate cancellation.
04Map and rich contextRenders routes, neighbourhoods, 3D/RealView or deep-linked experiences with accessible alternatives and explicit freshness.
05Partner hand-offBooking and navigation links bind place/offer identity, allow-list campaign data and distinguish click from confirmed downstream outcome.

Stage 2
Build a time-aware itinerary
Advance through an idempotent boundary, preserve stable Mappls identity, and expose freshness and ownership.

Stage 3
Visualize routes and neighborhoods
Advance through an idempotent boundary, preserve stable Mappls identity, and expose freshness and ownership.

Stage 5
Hand off to navigation
Reconcile the terminal result to every authoritative system and retain attributable evidence.
Records that must survive restarts and retries
Travel item ↔ Mappls Pin, editorial/partner IDs, language and provenance
Version, authorize, retain, observe, and reconcile this relationship explicitly; do not recover it later from display text or logs.
Itinerary ↔ ordered stable IDs, constraints, version and route revision
Version, authorize, retain, observe, and reconcile this relationship explicitly; do not recover it later from display text or logs.
Place fact ↔ source and observation/freshness timestamp
Version, authorize, retain, observe, and reconcile this relationship explicitly; do not recover it later from display text or logs.
Hand-off ↔ destination/offer identity, safe campaign fields, fallback and observed stage
Version, authorize, retain, observe, and reconcile this relationship explicitly; do not recover it later from display text or logs.
Design recovery before rollout
Two sources describe the same attraction
Reconcile through stable place identity and retain source-specific content/availability rather than merging by name.
Opening or availability data is stale
Show source/time, confirm with the authoritative partner and avoid routing a day as guaranteed feasible.
Navigation app is absent
Use an HTTPS fallback that preserves the destination and offers browser navigation or store choice without redirect loops.

stateful
Coordinated incident response
Resolve an incident location, select a capable available responder, route and observe the unit, adapt to hazards, establish arrival, resolve with evidence, and review every decision.
hybridRecoverable navigation session
Move from route intent through preview, guidance, reroute, arrival, and cleanup while surviving process, sensor, and network interruption.
hybridDurable multi-stop itinerary
Discover provider-backed places, preserve their Mappls Pins in a versioned itinerary, preview the exact ordered route, invalidate stale plans on edits, and retain visit or skip progress through completion.
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.
