How it decides
Not just who could fit. Who fits together.
The engine decides
A deterministic constraint solver checks every applicant and every combination. Same inputs, same plan, with a reason for each decision.
AI explains (optional)
A language model can rewrite the engine's facts in plain English. It can't change decisions. Without an API key, rule-based explanations are shown and labelled.
For organizations
One workspace for land-access programs.
Listings, requests, plot plans and agreement review in one place. Proposed model: organizations subscribe, landowners and growers join free. Not validated revenue.
Honest by design
We surface uncertainty instead of hiding it. Every big decision needs a human.
- All demo people, properties and organizations are synthetic.
- Ownership, water, soil and permissions are never assumed. Unverified items are flagged.
- No guarantees of yields, income, suitability or legal compliance.
- Agreements are drafts for professional review, not legal advice.
