I design and build this tool to bring environmental and social screening up to the speed and transparency that project finance now expects.

Why this project

Early-stage environmental and social screening is still slow, manual and hard to verify. Developers, lenders and consultants wait weeks for a first picture of a site, and the figures they get rarely say where they come from.

This tool does the first pass in hours, worldwide, from open data that allows commercial use. Every number names its source, version and date; every object comes with its identifier and a map link; several sources are shown side by side, never averaged. When the data is missing, the report says so instead of guessing.

It does not replace an ESIA, site visits or stakeholder engagement. It tells you where to look first, and why.

What I bring to it

IFC Performance Standards and E&S screening of project sites
E&S baseline structure: from each chapter to the open data that can feed it
Open geospatial data: land cover, population, buildings, forest change, receptors
Data licensing for commercial products (open data tiers, attribution, share-alike)
Data integrity: traceable sources, no silent averaging, precautionary flags
Product thinking for consultants, developers and lenders

Principles

Traceable

Dataset, version, licence and access date for every fact. Checkable in under a minute.

Honest about gaps

"Not detected" never means "absent". Missing data is flagged, not hidden.

Side by side

Two sources disagree? You see both values and the spread. Nothing is averaged.
