§01The operating loop

From raw source
to formation alert.

Four phases. Every contributor stays inspectable. The radar is not a black box — it is a captain's log of what was observed, when, by whom, and how confidence was earned.

Iphase 01

Ingest

Ten free public-source families, scraped, parsed, archived. Every claim links to its raw document.

IIphase 02

Score

Weighted composite over land, permit, power, capital. Each contributor stays inspectable.

IIIphase 03

Detect

Quiet Land Assembly Detector clusters spatial signals; alerts fire when pattern confidence trips.

IVphase 04

Act

Investor, developer, engineering, and construction moves generated per alert. Save. Brief. Forward.

§02Signal taxonomy

Ten families.
All public. All free.

Each family carries an honest weight. The score is a weighted composite — auditable, contestable. No proprietary data. No paid aggregators. Every claim links to its raw evidence with URL, observed date, and confidence.
