data you need

Start with a business question, not a schema. Ploti turns it into a scoped workflow with geography, fields, sources, and ownership.

Turn questions into scoped work

When an answer depends on missing data, Ploti shows the gap, drafts the scope, and asks for approval before any background work begins.

Show me traffic counts and driveway permits around these Travis County sites.

Ploti

That layer is not in this workspace. I can draft a request with the coverage area, likely sources, and fields to collect.

Data request

Review the scope before agents begin

Background agent
Area

Travis County sites and nearby corridors

Type

Traffic counts + driveway permits

Goal

Answer whether target sites have enough road activity and permit context for expansion.

Gap

The workspace has parcel context, but not the transportation layer needed for this question.

Plan

Check source candidates, map fields, and prepare a refresh policy.

Show me planned road projects near these same sites.

Coordinate the handoff. Each approved scope becomes a tracked workflow with source candidates, field expectations, quality checks, and clear ownership from start to finish.
