Sustainable Catalyst Platform
Site Intelligence
Site Intelligence is an open-source public observatory for country intelligence, comparative research, Earth observation, live events, thematic analysis, source transparency, briefing exports, and auditable evidence workflows.
The platform brings maps, public indicators, event records, source registries, methodology notes, saved research paths, and integrity records into one connected application. It supports structured public inquiry while preserving provenance, uncertainty, freshness, data state, and responsible-use boundaries.
Core idea:
Site Intelligence connects public evidence to geographic context, research
methods, source records, briefing workflows, and audit trails without collapsing unlike data into an
unexplained score or presenting automated output as professional judgment.

Mobile experience
Open Site Intelligence in a full browser view
Site Intelligence contains maps, workspace navigation, filters, evidence panels, source records, and export controls. On a phone, the complete application works best in its own full-screen browser view rather than inside a second scrolling page.
The application opens in a new tab so maps, menus, filters, and workspace controls can use the full width and height of the device.
Display note:
the full application is embedded on larger screens. Phone visitors
receive a direct full-screen launch experience to avoid nested navigation and double scrolling.
Public workspaces
One application, ten connected research environments
Each workspace supports a distinct part of the investigation process while sharing country state, source records, methodology, export conventions, and responsible-use rules.

Research workflow
Move from public question to auditable research record
Site Intelligence is organized as a research pathway rather than a single dashboard. Each stage keeps source context, data state, uncertainty, and interpretive limits visible.
-
01 · Frame
Define the country, place, comparison, topic, or public question being investigated.
-
02 · Explore
Use maps, layers, country profiles, thematic dashboards, or public event records to establish context.
-
03 · Inspect
Review values, trends, events, timestamps, geographic coverage, data states, and missing information.
-
04 · Compare
Compare countries, indicators, dates, or layers only where definitions and reporting periods support it.
-
05 · Trace
Follow each record into its source publisher, methodology record, feature usage, and known limitations.
-
06 · Document
Generate a briefing manifest, save the interface state, or export the evidence in a portable format.
-
07 · Verify
Review audit records, canonical digests, release history, and the distinction between integrity and truth.
-
08 · Continue
Carry the investigation into Research Librarian, Workbench, Decision Studio, or the wider Research Library.
Signature v2.0 layer
Auditable Public Observatory
Version 2.0.0 adds a public audit layer across the full Site Intelligence system. The observatory registers public research artifacts, connects them to source and methodology records, publishes release lineage, and provides integrity checks without claiming that a matching hash proves factual truth.
Evidence ledger
Registered public audit records
Public workspaces and evidence products receive stable identifiers, schema references, source links, methodology links, verification levels, data states, limitations, and canonical digests.
Lineage
Source → method → artifact → workspace
The lineage graph makes the support relationships behind public Site Intelligence products visible rather than leaving evidence provenance hidden inside application code.
Integrity
Canonical SHA-256 records
Canonical UTF-8 JSON and explicit digest scope support change detection across repeated requests while excluding volatile timestamps from the substantive record.
Verification boundary
Integrity is not authority
A matching digest can show that a canonicalized payload has not changed relative to an expected digest. It does not prove accuracy, authenticity, completeness, or publisher identity.
Sources and methodology
Public evidence with provenance, coverage, and limits
Site Intelligence treats maps, indicators, imagery, events, and generated briefs as evidence with provenance—not as unquestioned real-time truth. Source records and methodology notes remain part of the product rather than supporting documentation hidden elsewhere.
Provenance
Source-aware records
Records retain publisher, source identity, date, reference period, geography, units, definitions, license context, feature usage, and transformation notes where available.
Delivery state
Live, cached, stale, unavailable, experimental, or disabled
Connector and record states remain visible so that delayed or unavailable upstream systems are not mistaken for current authoritative evidence.
Spatial interpretation
Resolution and coverage matter
Earth-observation and map layers may vary by spatial resolution, cloud conditions, sensor, processing method, geographic extent, and capture date.
Methodological transparency
Methods before conclusions
Method records explain latest-value selection, missing data, trend gaps, comparison compatibility, country matching, event deduplication, cache behavior, brief generation, and export rules.
Technical architecture
An open public application with evidence, reliability, and audit layers
The application is designed to operate independently while remaining compatible with the wider Sustainable Catalyst platform.
Public interface
Standalone responsive application
A single public application provides the launch, Earth, event, country, comparison, thematic, briefing, source, saved-view, and observatory workspaces.
Application backend
Python + FastAPI
Public endpoints, connector normalization, cache behavior, exports, diagnostics, schema validation, observatory records, and integrity operations run through the shared backend.
Geospatial layer
Earth observation + map registry
Supported imagery, map, environmental, infrastructure, and event layers are organized with source metadata, temporal controls, and display rules.
Trust layer
Sources, methods, states, and limitations
Publisher identity, freshness, geographic coverage, modeled-versus-observed state, missing data, methodology, and known limitations remain visible.
Audit layer
Evidence lineage + integrity records
The observatory connects sources, methods, artifacts, workspaces, release history, canonical digests, and public verification contracts.
WordPress layer
Responsive public embedding
The standalone application can be embedded into Sustainable Catalyst pages using version-aligned, lazy-loaded, origin-checked WordPress shortcodes.
Platform connections
One public intelligence layer across Sustainable Catalyst
Site Intelligence connects public evidence and geographic context to research pathways, calculations, models, decision briefs, repositories, and publication workflows.
Research Librarian
Find supporting research
Continue from a country, theme, event, or source into Sustainable Catalyst articles, references, repositories, and structured research routes.
Research Library
Knowledge and research pathways
Move into article maps, knowledge architecture, source records, code companions, and the wider public research system.
Workbench
Analysis and calculation
Extend public evidence into calculators, models, visual analytics, scenarios, validation workflows, and article-embedded tools.
Decision Studio
Source-aware decision support
Use evidence, assumptions, tradeoffs, scenarios, claims, and source-aware briefs in reviewable decision workflows.
Open-source public infrastructure
Built as a public product and portfolio project
Site Intelligence v2.0.0 represents the public-release architecture of the project: a usable public application, documented methodology, source transparency, accessibility and mobile hardening, saved research paths, exportable briefs, release records, and an auditable observatory layer.
Responsible-use boundaries
Public evidence supports inquiry; it does not replace ground truth or professional judgment
Site Intelligence supports orientation, comparison, source discovery, research, documentation, and public understanding. It does not replace field investigation, current authoritative records, emergency systems, or qualified professional advice.
Satellite and mapped observations are not direct ground truth
Imagery and derived layers may be affected by capture date, cloud cover, spatial resolution, sensor limitations, processing choices, geographic coverage, and conditions that are not visible remotely.
Mapped proximity and correlation are not causation
Features, indicators, trends, and events shown near one another may be related, independent, delayed, or shaped by unobserved conditions.
Comparison requires methodological compatibility
Aligned display does not make values perfectly equivalent. Reporting periods, geography, definitions, collection methods, and missing-data rules must be reviewed before drawing conclusions.
Integrity verification is not factual certification
A matching digest can detect whether a canonicalized record changed. It does not prove accuracy, authenticity, authority, completeness, or legal validity.
No field survey, compliance assessment, or certification
The platform does not certify land condition, determine site suitability, replace environmental sampling, conduct engineering inspection, establish legal boundaries, or perform regulatory review.
No professional or safety-critical advice
Site Intelligence does not provide legal, financial, medical, engineering, environmental consulting, compliance, tax, investment, assurance, certification, emergency-response, or safety-critical advice.
Use responsibly:
confirm important findings against cited authoritative sources, review
methodology and freshness, obtain current local information, and seek qualified professional advice when
decisions carry legal, financial, environmental, engineering, humanitarian, operational, or safety
consequences.
