Solutions / Environmental consulting

Complete the geospatial work behind your client report.

Find and order project data, combine it with survey records, and run your analysis with AI assistance. Prepare a deliverable or build a client review tool without commissioning a separate GIS application.

The work you need to do

Keep the client brief connected to the deliverable.

01

Source data for a client brief

Translate reporting requirements into locations, dates, detail, and licensing needs. Compare open observations and commercial offers before ordering.

What you take away

A documented data selection and complete acquisition quote.

02

Prepare a site comparison

Review land-cover or site changes across comparable periods. Add boundaries, survey findings, and annotations, then retain the sources and method behind each reported result.

What you take away

An annotated map, measurements, and supporting report material.

03

Repeat the work across projects

Adapt an accepted analysis to another site or period. Give colleagues consistent controls to review inputs, inspect results, and prepare deliverables.

What you take away

A reusable workflow or optional project review app.

01 / Acquire the data

Order for your location.
Specify what matters.

Request data for client sites anywhere on Earth. Search archives, compare open and commercial products, or request a new capture. Confirm coverage and contract terms; obtaining the data alone is a complete outcome.

Client question
Name the feature, reporting unit, comparison, and recipient so the selected product supports the agreed deliverable.
Area and dates
Supply the actual boundaries, seasonal requirements, historical baseline, and collection window, with cloud and usable-coverage expectations.
Product specification
Set spatial detail, relevant bands or height information, processing level, calibration, and accuracy requirements appropriate to the analysis.
Quote and permissions
Check minimum charges, preparation costs, delivery timing, and licenses for client sharing, source downloads, app display, and publication.
  • Optical and multispectral imagery
  • Radar observations
  • Elevation and laser surveys (lidar)
  • Client surveys and boundaries

Just need the data? Acquiring it is a complete outcome. Use delivered files in your own tools where the license permits, or continue with analysis and apps in Milkypad.

02 / Run your own analysis

From the client brief to a deliverable you can explain

Apply your domain judgment while the assistant helps with preparation and analysis.

  1. 01

    Define the deliverable

    Add the brief, site boundaries, relevant periods, and report requirements. Identify the reviewer and the evidence they need to accept the work.

  2. 02

    Acquire the inputs

    Compare suitable observations, review any order, and bring delivered data together with field records, client identifiers, and existing project files.

  3. 03

    Analyze and review

    Ask for the comparison or measurements, inspect the source observations, and check assumptions against site knowledge before accepting findings.

  4. 04

    Deliver and reuse

    Export the report material and supporting records. Save the method for a subsequent site or create an app for ongoing client review.

How AI-assisted analysis works

03 / Build and customize your app

Client Site Review

A proposed no-code app that gives your practice and permitted reviewers a consistent way to inspect sites, compare observations, and record feedback.

01 / Data inputs

Acquire the evidence for the client brief

Define the site, relevant dates and the detail needed by the deliverable. Include surveys and the client records that help frame the comparison.

  • Client boundaryThe agreed review area
  • Comparison periodsDates relevant to the brief
  • Survey recordsLocal evidence for interpretation

02 / Review a layer

Review the comparison before reporting

The outline illustrates a site change to inspect. Keep the observed difference, its calculation and the interpretation distinct in the review.

  • Review areaInspect the source comparison
  • Coverage and datesCheck the limits of the evidence
  • Consultant notesExplain the supported finding

03 / Use an app

Give the client a reviewable output

Build a review app or prepare a report that connects the map to source dates, accepted findings and the proposed follow-up.

  • Site boundaryConfirm the scope of the report
  • Review areaInclude the accepted finding
  • Field recordLink the supporting observation

Prepared scenes and records show how a workflow could look. These are illustrative locations and layers, with no live data or analysis.

Illustrative app brief
Build a client review app with a site list, before-and-after maps, source dates, reviewer comments, and a report export using our project identifiers.

Describe the tool and the changes you need in ordinary language. The AI assistant helps build it; colleagues use the resulting maps, tables, and controls without writing code.

Controls for your team

  • Select a client project and site
  • Choose comparable observation periods
  • Inspect sources and field annotations
  • Mark findings for review or report inclusion
See how a saved app is used

Client report material

Maps, tables, and accepted findings with the dates, source references, and method needed for the deliverable.

Reviewer record

Comments and review status attached to the relevant site and observation, ready for the next discussion.

Reusable project method

Saved inputs and analytical settings that can be reviewed and adapted for another reporting period or site.

Use the result with context

Preserve professional judgment and the supporting record

Separate observed change from its cause and distinguish satellite measurements from survey findings. Confirm client sharing rights and retain the version of the result used in a delivered report.

Questions for your workflow

Plan the work
around your needs.

Can I order imagery and continue in our existing GIS?

You can request satellite imagery for your existing GIS without asking for an analysis or app. Specify the product, format, and intended use. Product availability, delivery, and a license that permits your workflow are confirmed before an order.

Do all client projects need a custom app?

No. An analysis, map, table, or report can finish the assignment. An app becomes useful when reviewers need interactive access or the work repeats across sites and reporting periods.

How does this help a practice with limited GIS capacity?

The assistant helps with preparation, analysis, and an optional interface. Consultants control the brief, method review, and interpretation while colleagues reuse accepted work.

Milkypad for environmental consulting

Which client deliverable needs better GIS support?

Share the task, required data, existing workflow, and intended recipient. We can start with acquisition, analysis, or a reusable tool.
