Before you start

Does this replace my lawyer?

No. It tells you what to ask them, and shows where the public record goes silent.

Every figure names its source. Where the data is silent, the reading says so.

The reading · free

One page to take to your lawyer before you sign.

The reading opens on the land at a glance: the five pillars as one drawing, a strength, a risk, an unknown, and the first thing to check on the ground. Every figure under it names its source and date, and the reading says where the public record goes silent.

  • Private readings

    Every free reading joins the public wall. A Pro reading stays off it: no listing, no corpus, no link anyone else can open. Publish it later if you choose, or never.

  • Compare

    Two or three parcels side by side, pillar by pillar. Pick what you are choosing for, a lodge, a reserve, farmland, water, and the ranking re-weights in front of you.

  • Reports

    A printable report for any reading. The maps, the narrative in full, the risks and what stands against them, and the checklist for the day you walk it.
