An AI-assisted spatial research platform for screening energy, geology, resource, and planetary questions.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-21 issue.
For
Energy, geology, and resource researchers
Worth noticing
The platform links spatial screening, scenario modeling, and evidence records in one stated workflow.

Field notes

The homepage frames the system as a sequence from place selection to assumption comparison and source checking. Its product naming is unusually specific: TerrainMatch handles screening conditions, ReservoirLab handles scenario differences, and SiteCheck preserves links to original records. The visible applications move beyond conventional resource research, including pumped-storage infrastructure and planetary work involving Mars. The site also explicitly limits screening as a substitute for field investigation or professional conclusions.
