From a place-based question to evidence your team can defend and act on.
I combine spatial research, data engineering and interface design. Each commission begins with a named decision and ends with an inspectable method, a usable evidence product and a clear stopping point.
Decision transect / evidence to action
Observe the field. Explain the pattern. Decide within the evidence.
- 01
Field evidence
Observe
Measure the place without smoothing away gaps, scale or provenance.
- 02
Spatial reasoning
Explain
Test what changes with location, method and validation boundary.
- 03
Bounded action
Decide
Compare options, expose the trade-off and show where the claim stops.
The replay control restarts the finite Observe, Explain, Decide sequence.

Urban Heat Diagnostic.
Where should a council, housing provider or place partnership act first during extreme heat, and why? The diagnostic turns an agreed geography and decision into a prioritised evidence brief and map.
- For
- Council, housing, planning and place teams
- Scope
- One geography or asset portfolio, up to three questions
- Window
- Ten working days
- Handover
- Decision brief, map, method note and 60-minute session
- A concise decision brief with findings, limitations and recommended next actions
- An interactive or static map suited to the decision context
- A transparent method and data note
- A prioritised set of areas, assets or questions for further action
Screening and prioritisation only. No individual-level risk scoring, causal intervention claims, or medical, engineering or investment advice.
Other ways to work together.
These routes are scoped around the decision, audience and evidence available. They are not presented as standard packages with invented outcomes or durations.
Spatial product and GeoAI advisory
Architecture, validation, provenance and release controls for teams building spatial products. Scope and duration are agreed after an initial fit conversation.
Urban and environmental research
Spatial methods and evidence products for climate, circularity, housing and public-interest questions, with the sources and limits made inspectable.
Talks, workshops and critical cartography
Talks, participatory walks and commissioned sessions that help technical and public audiences examine spatial evidence together.
Geospatial Workforce Evidence Sprint.
A bounded workforce-research offer for one hiring, curriculum or role-definition question. Its evidence base remains behind provenance, rights, quality and production gates, so it is under validation rather than presented as an established service.
One accountable chain.
The exact method changes with the question. The responsibility does not: frame the decision, test the evidence, make the output usable and state where the claim stops.
- 01
Frame
Name the decision, geography, owner and constraints.
- 02
Audit
Review sources, rights, missingness and claim limits.
- 03
Build
Analyse, validate and make the evidence legible in a map or brief.
- 04
Handover
Review with the decision owner, record limitations and agree the next action.
Tell me what your team needs to decide.
Include the place, decision owner, deadline and evidence you already have. I will reply with a clear fit, no-go or proposed next step.
