Core Capabilities

A spatial intelligence toolkit for programme decisions.

Mapping, comparison, navigation, and AI-assisted reasoning layered on top of a shared geospatial data model.

Cartography

Multi-Layer GIS Cartography

Leaflet-based interactive mapping across administrative, thematic, and analytical layers.

Administrative boundary visualization
Intervention-site mapping
Satellite, Street, Terrain, Dark & Light basemaps
Vulnerability choropleths
Climate hazard corridors
Funding disparity visualization
Beneficiary density & heatmap / KDE rendering

Spatial Analysis

Analytical Operations

Core spatial computation underlying every map layer and query.

Buffer-distance analysis
Point-in-polygon analysis
Geodetic distance and bearing measurement
Heatmap / kernel density estimation

Comparison

Split-Map Comparison

The SplitMapViewer places two synchronized maps side by side for direct sectoral comparison.

Synchronized pan and zoom
Independent layer controls per pane
Sector comparison workflows
Vulnerability vs. climate risk
Health vs. WASH
Funding disparity vs. beneficiary saturation

Navigation

Global Command Palette

A ⌘K / Ctrl+K interface for moving through the platform without touching the mouse.

Project search
District & sector search
Spatial navigation
Quick actions & dataset export
Scenario simulator & guided tour launch
Split-map launch

AI Copilot

Ask Map AI

A natural-language spatial copilot for exploring the dataset conversationally. Recommendations are informational — not authoritative decisions — and should be verified before use in planning.

Natural-language geospatial queries
Spatial reasoning & district/site highlighting
Map auto-focus on relevant areas
Structured analytical responses
Resource allocation suggestions (advisory only)
Gemini-powered reasoning, with a heuristic fallback for edge/offline scenarios

Query → "Which coastal districts with high cyclone risk have less than $100k in emergency funding?"

Simulation

Scenario Simulator

Budget reallocation modelling across sectors, with a before/after spatial delta view.

Budget reallocation sliders
Sector allocation simulation — WASH, Health, Climate Resilience, Food Security
Projected disparity reduction (modelled estimate)
Estimated additional beneficiary reach (modelled estimate)
Before/after spatial delta visualization

Note: Simulator outputs are modelled estimates for exploration — not real-world forecasts or funding commitments.

Programme Analytics

Portfolio-level visibility, not just a map.

A KPI layer that ties spatial data back to programme management.

Portfolio & Investment

Portfolio KPI dashboard
Investment tracking
Active intervention sites
Beneficiary reach
Vulnerable-district coverage

Budget & Project Management

Sectoral budget analysis
Funding-gap analysis
Project CRUD management
Project status tracking
Data provenance and lineage

Institutional Standards

Standards & Interoperability

Technical standards the platform is built against or targets. These are engineering references, not claims of formal certification or institutional endorsement.

IATI 2.03

IATI Activity Standard v2.03 — aid activity data structure.

ISO 19115

Geographic metadata standard for spatial dataset description.

RFC 7946

GeoJSON specification for interchange geometry.

EPSG:4326

WGS 84 coordinate reference system.

UN Cartography

UN cartographic disclaimer conventions for boundary representation.

Agency Context

Analytical view configurations, not partnerships

Atlas GIS includes view configurations reflecting how different institutions typically frame humanitarian and development spatial data. These are analytical lenses built into the platform — they do not represent official partnerships, endorsements, or data-sharing agreements with the named organizations.

Data & Provenance

Evidence & Data Lineage

Atlas GIS is designed around traceability — every layer and record is intended to carry its own evidentiary trail.

Attribution

Source attribution on every dataset

Metadata

Structured metadata per layer

Timestamps

Recorded at ingestion & update

Custodianship

Named data custodian per source

Confidence

Confidence ratings on derived layers

Geographic IDs
