Terms used across this site, defined plainly.
- Property DNA
- Our term for the structured, reviewed property record — spatial, visual, asset, condition, document and provenance layers tied together.
- Accuracy band
- The realistic measurement tolerance achieved under actual capture conditions, stated after processing rather than promised in advance.
- Intended use
- The specific decision context a deliverable was produced to support, stated on the deliverable itself.
- Orthomosaic
- A geometrically corrected, top-down aerial image mosaic used for site plans and area takeoffs.
- Point cloud
- A set of measured 3D points describing the surfaces and objects captured by photogrammetry or LiDAR.
- Ground control point (GCP)
- A surveyed reference mark used to tie a capture to a known coordinate system with stated accuracy.
- Digital twin
- A navigable visual or spatial model of a property, distinct from the structured evidence layer beneath it.
- Candidate asset
- An item identified during capture for professional determination — not a final classification.
- Professionally reviewed
- A qualified reviewer has verified the deliverable against the source capture record before release.
- Provenance
- The capture date, method, equipment, personnel and reviewer recorded against every item in the record.
- Evidence graph
- The linkage between a measurement or observation and the source imagery or scan that supports it.
- Baseline engagement
- The initial capture-once engagement that establishes a property's Property DNA record.
- Review gate
- A checkpoint where a qualified human reviewer must confirm an AI-assisted output before it is released.
- Capture-once
- Scoping a single capture against multiple foreseeable intended uses rather than repeating capture per service.
- Asset registry
- A structured inventory of equipment, systems and site improvements with attributes, identifiers and location.
- Relative accuracy
- How precisely two nearby points are measured with respect to each other, distinct from absolute position.
- Absolute accuracy
- How precisely a feature's position is known relative to a real-world coordinate system.
