Land offers, checked from space and the ground
Every plot offered to you checked from space and the ground, scored and approved.
What it does
Every month: each plot offered to you, every clear satellite picture this quarter, 16 days of weather, the people within 5 km, buyers and suppliers within 25 km, scored by xMap AI, approved, a report, saved to Google Drive, emailed and mapped.
In one sentence: Monthly on the 1st at 08:00, take your table, get satellite pictures, get the 16-day weather forecast, count who lives around, count the wholesale markets, agricultural services and supermarkets within 25 km of each, score and rank them with xMap AI, wait for approval, write a report with xMap AI, then create file from text in Google Drive, email the list to you and show them on a map.
Why it is useful
Land deals need pictures, weather, workforce and buyers nearby. This flow assembles all four for every plot and writes the report.

The time it saves
Monthly on the 1st at 08:00. Doing the same work by hand takes about 480 minutes each time; it runs about 1 time a month, so it saves about 8 hours a month (an estimate). It is advanced: 12 blocks.
