Land Report · v0

Rural land analysis, grounded in the data.

A field-notebook screening report for any rural parcel up to 200 acres. Soil, terrain, imagery, and use-suitability, cross-checked against the raw source data before delivery. No drone capture. No surveyor stamp. No legal opinion.

The price.

One parcel. One payment. No retainer, no scope-of-work call, no invoice cycle.

$25
USDC · per parcel
A human land or soils consultant typically charges $200 to $500 for the same desktop screening work. Land Report v0 returns the same data layers plus an AI synthesis, in roughly ninety seconds, paid on-chain.
Note 02ii.

What you get.

Six artifacts per report, one polygon at a time.

Soil composition

USDA SSURGO map units intersecting your polygon, dominant components, drainage class, taxonomic order, shrink-swell behavior.

Terrain analysis

Slope, aspect, hillshade, and Topographic Wetness Index derived from USGS 3DEP LiDAR digital terrain models at 2 meter resolution.

Recent imagery

NAIP aerial at 0.6 meter ground sample distance, plus Sentinel-2 multispectral at 10 meters for vegetation and recent cloud-free coverage.

Suitability scoring

Per-use scoring for homestead, orchard, garden, cattle, hay, solar, well siting, hunting. Expressed as "consistent with" plus confidence plus data gaps.

Interactive map

Field-notebook map with parcel polygon, Esri / OSM / OpenTopo basemap toggle, and seven overlay layers. Plus raw_data.json so you keep the underlying data.

Citation trail

Every number tagged inline like [NAIP-2022-09-12] or [SSURGO-MUKEY-575940] so you can verify the source without trusting the synthesizer.

Note 03iii.

Fact-checked, zero hallucination.

The hard problem with AI on numeric data is silent invention. We run every claim through five gates before the report ships.

  1. Strict grounding prompt. The synthesizer must attach an inline citation [NAIP-YYYY-MM-DD], [S2-...], [SSURGO-...], or [3DEP-...] to every numeric claim, or mark it [DATA_GAP: ...]. Free-floating numbers are rejected at parse.
  2. Source-grounded fact check. A separate pass extracts every numeric claim and cross-references it against the raw JSON pulled from STAC, SSURGO, and 3DEP. Claims are tagged VERIFIED, UNVERIFIABLE, or CONTRADICTED.
  3. Hard rules. The model is forbidden from saying a parcel is "fit for" any use. It can only say "consistent with" plus a confidence level plus the data gaps. Disclaimers are inserted in four places per report.
  4. Contradicted = blocked. If any claim is CONTRADICTED, the pipeline exits non-zero and refuses to ship. We will not bill for a report that failed verification.
  5. Numeric string coercion fix. SSURGO returns some numeric fields as strings (mapunit_acres as "16217" not 16217). The fact checker normalizes thousands-separated strings before comparison. All 10 rural Texas test plots pass with zero contradicted claims.
Screening only. Not a survey, not a legal opinion, not a soils investigation, not a substitute for ground truth. Before acting on any finding, hire a licensed surveyor, hydrogeologist, or soil scientist.

If you need a stamped engineering opinion, hire a human. If you need to know whether a parcel is worth a closer look, Land Report is 8 to 20 times cheaper and runs in a minute and a half.

Frequently asked.

Six things customers tend to ask before paying.

How much does a Land Report cost?

Twenty-five USDC per parcel, paid on-chain via x402 on Base. A human consultant typically charges $200 to $500 for the same desktop screening scope.

Is this a survey or a legal opinion?

No. Screening-tier desktop analysis only. Not a survey, not legal, not a soils investigation, not a substitute for ground truth.

What data sources are used?

NAIP 0.6 m aerial, Sentinel-2 10 m multispectral, USGS 3DEP 2 m LiDAR DTM, USDA SSURGO soils. All public datasets.

How is the report fact-checked?

Five-gate pipeline: strict grounding prompt, source-grounded fact check, hard rules forbidding "fit for", contradicted-equals-blocked, numeric-string coercion.

What is the parcel size limit?

200 acres per report. For larger parcels email adametherzlab@gmail.com.

Difference vs Land3D?

Land Report is desktop-only AI grounded in public data. Land3D is the sibling product that adds drone and 3D Gaussian Splatting walkthroughs.

Note 07vii.

What Land Report is not.

If you need any of the below, this is not the product.

  • Not a survey. We do not establish legal boundaries.
  • Not legal advice. We do not opine on title, easements, or zoning.
  • Not a drone capture. For 3D capture see our sibling product Land3D.
  • Not a soils investigation. We surface SSURGO map units, we do not auger or lab-test soil.
  • Not a hydrogeology report. Depth to groundwater requires a licensed hydrogeologist.
