Purpose & Scope
What this module owns
Clear ownership boundaries prevent duplication and ensure every capability has exactly one authoritative home.
Owns
12Delegated to
7Application data, decisions, pipeline
Permit data, construction values
Parcels, zoning layers, LiDAR, 3D rendering
ML models, prediction, NLP
Dashboards, KPIs
Historical data, trend analysis
Growth forecasting, revenue projection
These capabilities are handled by dedicated modules and consumed via stable API contracts — keeping boundaries clean and ownership unambiguous.
Core Capabilities
What it does
4 capability groups comprising 12 discrete capabilities — each with API surface, business rules, and data ownership.
Auto-generated 3D city model from GIS parcels, LiDAR, and zoning heights with proposed building massing and public-facing view.
Auto-Generation
Generate from GIS parcels + LiDAR + zoning heights. Proposed building massing from site plan + elevations.
View Corridors
View corridor impact analysis, streetscape perspectives, and before/after toggle for development proposals.
Public-Facing
Public-facing 3D model on website using CesiumJS/Mapbox GL integration.
Automated shadow study for height exceedances with hourly projections for four critical dates.
Four Critical Dates
Hourly shadow projections: spring equinox, fall equinox, summer solstice, winter solstice.
Presentation-Ready
