Add your raster GIS maps to the library and place them in a custom named logical hierarchy of bio-physical and socio-economic folders and subfolders. These maps form the basis on which you apply knowledge rules.

Knowledge is captured in a variety of rule types, like: if..then..else structures, map algebra, multi-criteria analysis, sustainability limits, or include uncertainty via Bayesian statistics. Each rule type comes with a specific editor to easily insert or change your rules at the click or swipe of your mouse.

Drag the maps and rules onto the modelling canvas and link them together using the visual editor. The editor guarantees that only rules that ‘fit’ can be linked. I.e. if your rule requires ‘land use’ as input you cannot put in a climate projection map.

Track calculation progress and drill down in calculation results by tracing into the causal chain of rules and the underlying data. Don’t guess at the reasoning behind an outcome at any specific location, but simply point and click your mouse, view and understand the reasoning. Update the rules if necessary or create an alternative and try out another idea.

Alternatives are used to calculate a (set of) indicator(s) differently, either by using a different set of rules (including weights and values), or scenarios, such as climate projections or land use plans. Compare alternatives by: highlighting regional differences, summary graphs per administrative-, or other reporting units, or trade-off spider diagrams to visually compare different indicators at a single glance.
