What it does
- Runs geometry health and topology checks before anything moves downstream.
- Enforces field types, required attributes, and code lists.
- Captures metadata and lineage so outputs are defensible later.
GIS‑Ready
Validated geometry, consistent schemas, and audit‑ready exports that survive scrutiny.
Why it matters
- Prevents rework in GIS, planning, or regulatory review.
- Protects decisions with traceable sources and date‑stamped edits.
- Delivers consistent maps and exhibits across teams and projects.
QA & Validation (GIS‑grade)
- Geometry health checks (closed polygons, no self‑intersections or unintended multipart features).
- CRS and units confirmed; area/length fields consistent.
- Attribute completeness and value ranges; duplicates prevented with stable keys.
- Lineage recorded with source date, method, and any transforms.
Governed schemas
Traceable sources
Audit‑ready
Outputs
- Map books and segment sheets.
- Parcel overlays with zoning/overlays/utilities as governed layers.
- Export bundles for submittals and board packets.
Where it’s used
- ROW & Utilities routing and as‑built tracking.
- Development feasibility and submittals.
- Municipal GIS updates and open data publishing.
