- Limits: Quantities and costs are study-level estimates (estimate classes with accuracy ranges). Planned-versus-actual compares drawings and surveys you provide; it is not an as-built certification.

### Real Estate Intelligence — Land, Property & Development Potential

Assess a parcel or an area in minutes: terrain, slope, access and environmental constraints, what is around it, what can be built and how a reference district would fit. Key output: Buildable area, constraints, surroundings, development scenarios and screening-level investment figures.

- Market prices and valuation data — planned
- Deliverables: Site intelligence, Parcel & buildable area, Masterplan dossier, Reference twin dossier with coordinate Excel, Site comparison, Project Brain report
- Limits: Zoning rules are the inputs you enter; WaiMAP does not read official zoning plans or land registers. Masterplan costs use typical unit rates.

### Logistics Intelligence — Route Planning, Fleet Operations & Transport Constraints

Plan truck and abnormal-load routes with vehicle dimensions, weights and the restrictions mapped along the way, check trip conditions and take the route into the project. Key output: Routes with distances and times, restrictions along the way, abnormal-load checks and trip conditions.

- Truck routing with vehicle dimensions and weights (Valhalla) — available now
- Saved vehicle profiles — available now
- Abnormal-load route check (curve radii, grades, mapped restrictions) — available now

- Limits: Restricted roads, permits, bridge limits and live traffic must be verified against the relevant road authority and on-site sources. OpenStreetMap restriction data can be incomplete; an abnormal-load route still needs a swept-path study, a structural check of bridges and the permit.

### Observations & Monitoring Intelligence — Detect Change. Understand Impact. Act Earlier.

Watch your sites from a reference date: what changed in the mapping, which events happened nearby, what the drone surveys show — each observation with its source and date, to verify on site. Key output: Changes and events per observation area, with source, date and severity — observations to verify, not facts.

- Observation areas with reference date and checks (Personal and above) — available now
- Mapping changes from OpenStreetMap — available now
- Earthquakes (USGS) and active fires (NASA FIRMS) — available now

- Security and defence situational awareness (enterprise use case) — planned
- Deliverables: Observation alerts per area, Project report — observation section, Orthophoto date comparison, Point cloud & survey report (progress volumes)
- Limits: No universal real-time claim: every source has its own update frequency, processing delay and licence. An observation is a prompt to verify on site, not a confirmed fact.
- Update frequency per source: OpenStreetMap mapping changes — As often as you run a check; reflects community edits, which can lag reality by days to months.; Earthquakes (USGS) — Events of magnitude 3 and above usually appear within minutes to hours of the event.; Active fires (NASA FIRMS) — Satellite fire detections of the last 2 days; a few hours after the overpass; needs a FIRMS key.; Sentinel-2 imagery — The background is a cloudless mosaic (2016). The latest scenes (revisit about every 5 days, cloud cover permitting) appear only when the administrator configures the Copernicus layer.; Weather — Hourly forecast for trip and site conditions (MET Norway); climate archives (NASA POWER) arrive with a delay of several days.; Drone orthophotos and point clouds — As often as you fly and upload them.

### Reports

Structure: Executive summary, Location and site, Maps and layers, Data sources and observation dates, Results, Constraints, changes and anomalies, Quantities and assumptions, Findings, recommendations and limitations, Appendices (tables, Excel, drawings). Levels: Screening — Indicative results from open data and typical values for early decisions and internal use.; Feasibility-grade — Pre-feasibility / feasibility studies with your data, stated methods, independent checks and client-ready covers (Pro and above).; Bankability readiness — A readiness assessment for lender due diligence — evidence, gaps and document requests. Not a bankability certificate or a lender approval. Issued reports carry a serial; optional QR verification at /verify.

Client and project documents used as references are described, not named. A matching test case shows a method is implemented correctly; it does not make a feasibility result bankable on its own.

## Independent check in reports

In the solar, wind, BESS, electrical-studies, water, mass-haul and line-mechanics panels, "Run independent check" sends exactly the inputs WaiMAP used to a named open tool on the calculation server (solar: NREL PySAM Pvwattsv8 and pvlib, plus the bifacial rear gain against pvlib infinite_sheds, inverter clipping against pvlib and PySAM Pvsandiainv on the same DC power, temperature-corrected PR and slope-aware backtracking against pvlib; wind: PyWake NOJ / Jensen and Bastankhah Gaussian; BESS: linear-programme optimum with PyPSA + HiGHS, or SciPy linprog / HiGHS; electrical: pandapower and PyPSA; water: WNTR / EPANET 2.2 and PySWMM / SWMM 5; mass haul: OR-Tools; thermo: CoolProp; line mechanics: sag-tension against an independent Python change-of-state solver written for the check — labelled as such, not as a named tool — and IEEE 738 ampacity against the linerate package). The report gets a table (WaiMAP | Reference tool | Difference | Status | Why they differ), a summary box and an Excel sheet. Bands: green ≤ 3 %, amber ≤ 7 %, red above unless a metric has its own tolerance. Without the server the rows say "not run"; for solar an in-browser PVWatts-method second opinion is labelled as WaiMAP's own re-implementation, not an independent tool.

## Scope

- Concept, pre-feasibility and feasibility studies; early design and bid preparation (indicative quantities, Class 5–4 cost estimates).
- Screening of sites, routes and alternatives with open data and typical values, every assumption listed in the report.
- Engineering calculations to recognised methods (IEC 60909, IEC 60826, IEEE 738, IAPWS-IF97, rational method, NFPA fire water, …) at study level.

## Limits (needs detailed design tools)

- Construction drawings and issued-for-construction design.
- Structural finite-element analysis of towers, foundations and buildings (WaiMAP gives indicative loads and quantities).
- PV shading and stringing studies for financing (3D near shading, detailed string design) — yield is an hourly simulation for feasibility.
- Wind micro-siting with CFD over complex terrain; WaiMAP uses analytical wake models, measured or reanalysis wind and generic power curves.
- Protection coordination, harmonics and dynamic (RMS / EMT) grid studies.
- Site investigation: the ground model is a desk study until boreholes are added.
- A formal ESIA: the ESIA module screens, scopes and structures the work.

## Hand-over

- GIS (ArcGIS, QGIS): Shapefile, GeoJSON, KML, GeoTIFF, CSV
- CAD (AutoCAD and DXF-based tools): DXF with layers
- Overhead-line design (PLS-CADD): Survey points as PFL-style station / offset / elevation / feature-code text and XYZ with a feature-code table to map in PLS-CADD, staking table (CSV / Excel), weather cases, DXF plan & profile — not native .DON / .BAK files
- PV design (PVsyst, SAM): Typical-year weather files in their formats, layout DXF; PVsyst hand-over package (meteo and horizon import directly; table list, parameter sheet in PVsyst's dialog order and PAN-like / OND-like text summaries for a manual rebuild — not .PAN / .OND files)
- Survey / point-cloud tools: LAS, GeoTIFF DTM / DSM

Product names belong to their owners. WaiMAP writes standard formats these tools read; it does not write their native project files.

## Data Trust and Bankability (two separate questions)

- Data Trust & Evidence (module and report): for every module result an evidence register — source, provider and licence, period, resolution, spatial coverage, class (measured, modelled / reanalysis, user-supplied, assumed default, derived), how it was used, limitations; quality checks for missing required inputs, uncertainty (P50–P99 energy, ground-model confidence, cost estimate classes), contradictions (capacity in documents vs module input, coordinates of modules far apart, CAPEX outside a benchmark band, yield outside a plausibility band, currency / FX), stale data and the independent-check status (named open tools); reproducibility record (version, build, inputs fingerprint per module, source versions, run date); Data Trust level High / Medium / Low per module from a weighted checklist with the points of every criterion shown. Not a certification.
- Bankability Assessment / Lender Due-Diligence Support (module and report per sector): solar PV, BESS, wind, transmission & grid, construction & infrastructure; categories technical feasibility and design assumptions, CAPEX / OPEX / revenue / financial-model assumptions, land rights / permits / grid connection / contracts, risks / sensitivities / missing documents, independent expert review status; items answered from WaiMAP results or marked as document required (reusing the 91-item technical due-diligence checklist); readiness level Early screening / Developing / Advanced for lender review (not pass / fail), gaps, document requests, next steps; low data trust caps the readiness level.
- Data Trust level criteria and points: sources and licences documented 15, primary data quality 20, required inputs complete 15, uncertainty quantified 10, no contradictions 15, data current 10, independent check 15 (red caps the level); High ≥ 75, Medium ≥ 50, Low below 50.
- Readiness levels: Early screening; Developing (coverage ≥ 40 %, score ≥ 50 %); Advanced for lender review (coverage ≥ 75 %, score ≥ 75 %, no red item). Low data trust caps at Early screening, medium at Developing.
- Every Bankability Assessment states: "This is an automated assessment to support lender due diligence. It is not a lender approval or an independent certification; an independent engineer's review and the lender's own assessment are required."
- No automated WaiMAP result is a certificate, a "bankable" label or a lender approval.
