Research beyond workspace datasets

Real estate decisions often depend on public evidence that is not yet a structured map layer. Ploti can research relevant web sources and combine those findings with the request’s spatial and tabular evidence.

Useful topics

  • Development announcements and planning agendas
  • Infrastructure and transportation projects
  • Economic-development programs
  • Company, owner, or portfolio context
  • Market reports and demographic releases
  • Utility, environmental, and agency resources

Add known sources during intake

If a particular website matters, add its URL to the research request and explain what Ploti should inspect. This is more reliable than mentioning the site without its purpose.

Ask for source discipline

Specify whether Ploti should prioritize official sources, record publication dates, separate conflicting claims, or avoid sources behind a login. For consequential facts, ask for direct links and a statement of uncertainty.

Connect findings to geography

Ask the final output to distinguish general market context from evidence tied to a specific site, jurisdiction, corridor, or mapped feature.
Public pages can change or disappear. Keep source links and access dates in the research document when the evidence may be reviewed later.
