What just landed.

The freshest batch of shipped capability, open by default. Click to collapse, or scroll for earlier months below.

Feature

Intelligence query plane.

New POST /v1/query: a typed JSON plan grammar with six ops (rank_areas, get_area, score_area, find_peers, find_insights, find_forecast). Programmatic plans skip the LLM entirely; natural-language questions route through a planner that emits the same typed grammar. Every response echoes the executed plan and plan_source for full replay.

Feature

Compound multi-signal queries.

rank_areas accepts up to eight signals[] with per-signal filters and a sort_by directive. Filter ops: eq, lt, lte, gt, gte, between, plus percentile variants. AND semantics across signals via INNER JOINs. One query, one plan, many constraints.

Feature

Similarity, anomaly, and forecast surfaces.

POST /v1/peers (k-NN over normalized signal vectors, default k=20, min 3 overlapping signals). POST /v1/insights (rank LSOAs by absolute peer-relative z-score; materialized peer graph so no request-time recompute). POST /v1/forecast (linear regression over signal_timeseries with constant confidence band; default 24-month window, 12-month horizon; not a learned model).

Feature

Derived signals: YoY, momentum, trend slope, peer-relative.

Five new derived signals computed in-DB and immediately queryable through the query plane: property.price_change_pct_yoy (count-weighted calendar year), crime.total_12m_change_pct_yoy (rolling 12), property.median_price_change_pct_6m (6-month momentum), crime.monthly_count_trend_slope_24m (regr_slope), and peer-relative z-scores. Each documented with window length, minimum-observations guard, and confidence stamp.

Feature

AI eval harness with measured planner accuracy.

92.9% on a 14-case curated corpus against claude-sonnet-4. By-op breakdown published. The harness measures the production seam (Zod schema, planner, executor) not the model.

Feature

Levers: per-organisation methodology controls.

Custom signal bundles (whitelist of signal_keys the API exposes to your keys). Saved scoring presets (recall a (base_preset, weights) tuple by id from /v1/score). Org-level methodology pinning (lock your org to a specific engine_version; stamped on X-Engine-Version for every scoring response). Per-org peer cohorts (named LSOA lists that scope /v1/peers candidates). All four are opt-in.

Feature

Three-tier RBAC.

member (read-only on org surfaces), admin (daily ops: bundles, presets, cohorts, member CRUD, org rename), owner (chain-of-authority: methodology pinning, granting ownership, removing owners). Last-owner guard. Four typed 403 codes (admin_required, owner_required, cannot_grant_owner, cannot_remove_owner_as_admin) for client programming.

Feature

White-label and per-key IP allowlist.

Per-org display_name and brand_url surfaced on /v1/me. Per-API-key allowed_ip_cidrs[] enforced at the gateway with full IPv4 CIDR matching. Empty array means no restriction; existing keys unchanged.

Improvement

Brand v3 (Plotted) live.

New homepage, methodology page, and docs surfaces. Geist sans plus the warm graphite + cream two-colour palette. The 29-dot Plotted mark on every page. /methodology fully rewritten to reflect the system as it actually is (14 sections, every claim grounded in code).

The road behind.

Reverse-chronological. Click any month to expand. Each entry tagged feature, improvement, or fix.

Feature

Confidence per dimension.

Every score now ships with a confidence value (0.0-1.0) plus a written reason. HIGH for primary fresh data, MEDIUM for partial fallback or older datasets, LOW for proxy fallback, NONE when data is missing. Honest about inferred-not-measured dimensions like Footfall and Rental Yield.

Feature

Methodology versioning.

Every response stamps the engine version that produced it. Public methodology changelog established. Lets regulated buyers pin a version in their model risk register via the X-Engine-Version header.

Feature

OpenAPI 3.0 spec.

First public API contract published at /openapi.json. (Note: superseded by the live-Fastify regeneration tracked separately; see /docs/api-reference for the surface map.)

Feature

Time-series re-scoring infrastructure.

Monthly re-scoring of top UK postcodes builds a trend dataset that compounds. New report_history table tracks every score with confidence and engine version stamp. (Distinct from the broader signal_timeseries moat that landed in May.)

Improvement

Stripe-parity API hygiene.

Retry-After header on 429 responses across the report and widget endpoints. Honest rate-limit feedback for clients implementing backoff.

Improvement

Mobile, properly.

Every route works on a phone. Hamburger nav, off-canvas sidebar, tables that collapse sensibly, readable type down to 375px.

Improvement

Loading, error, and 404 states in brand.

Skeleton loaders, error recovery, and not-found pages that match the rest of the site.

Improvement

Dark mode, audited.

Dark-theme tokens rewired so every page reads cleanly in low light.

Feature

Reports include Ofsted ratings for nearby schools in England. Each school shown with its rating and distance. School quality factors into the Schools and Education score.

Feature
