Every month: the most populated blocks of your city, the banks, ATMs and money agents within 2 km, people per access point, the 15 most underserved scored by xMap AI, a note, saved to your database and Google Drive, emailed and mapped.

In one sentence: Monthly on the 1st at 08:00, in Dhaka, count who lives around, sort them by population and keep the top 30, count the banks, ATMs and money transfer services within 2 km of each, work out new fields, sort them by people_per_point and keep the top 15, score and rank them with xMap AI, write a report with xMap AI, save them to your database, then create file from text in Google Drive, email the list to you and show them on a map.

The time it saves

Monthly on the 1st at 08:00. Doing the same work by hand takes about 300 minutes each time; it runs about 1 time a month, so it saves about 5 hours a month (an estimate). It is advanced: 13 blocks.
