?
Highly flexible and customizable Decision Support Engine based
on GIS.
Wide range of capabilities across disciplines (e.g., Environmental, Engineering, and Geosciences)
and asset types.
Results directly usable to both evaluate and visualize the
options available for one or more design bases.

Reporting and Visualization
Project and Scenario-Based System:◦ Shared datasets across the project◦ Scenarios used for varying parameters◦ Scenarios can be run across the full project
extent or using a sub-set study area
Configurable and Sensible Defaults:◦ Experts can change almost all settings◦ Defaults can be based on client input
Strong focus on Data Management:◦ Dataset re-use and refresh◦ Handling of spatial references
Designed for Corporate Environments:◦ Projects setup and run from the network◦ Extension to ArcGIS delivered as an Add-in◦ Fully documented (tools, models, training)

Geomancy Reporting
What improvements and efficiencies are clients realizing?◦ Incorporation of the full team ideals, even when working in isolation the
inputs from others are always considered by the decision engine◦ Fully investigating multiple options, identifying options that provide
substantial financial savings while managing impact◦ Generate results that reduce impact and investment◦ Reduce effort needed to evaluate options◦ Provide a means of performing what-if scenarios◦ Keep pace with (or ahead of) planning process◦ Produce reliable and repeatable results◦ Increase consistency in the planning process◦ Improve documentation of siting choice rationale
