What it does

Every six months: blocks of your city with many residents and no legal aid office or law firm within 3 km, ranked, with a short note by xMap AI for the bar association or NGO planning outreach.

In one sentence: Monthly on the 1st at 08:00, in Mumbai, count who lives around, count the legal aid offices, law firms and legal serviceses within 2 km of each, work out new fields, sort them by per_office and keep the top 20, write a report with xMap AI, then email the list to you and show them on a map.

Why it is useful

Legal help is unevenly spread. This flow shows where people are furthest from it, so mobile clinics and outreach go where they matter most.

Who it is for

Law, accounting & professional services. Law firms, accountants, notaries, translators and consultancies winning clients, choosing offices and serving them on time. Every use case for law & professional services

Best use cases

  • A legal aid NGO
  • A bar association
  • A city access-to-justice programme

What each run gives you

  • An email with the note
  • A map of gaps

The time it saves

Monthly on the 1st at 08:00. Doing the same work by hand takes about 240 minutes each time; it runs about 1 time a month, so it saves about 4 hours a month (an estimate). It is medium: 9 blocks.
