Everything we have shipped.

OneGoodArea 1.0 and every release since. The buyer-facing record of what shipped, from launch forward, plainly, so you always know what changed and when.

1.3.0

August 2026 · 2026-08-28 · current

Amenities and transport are now precomputed and more complete, drawn from authoritative national data and served from a stored snapshot rather than a live lookup. Results are stable and consistent across every area.

More complete transport coverage

improvement

Rail, metro and bus access now use authoritative national data with complete, consistent coverage across England, Wales and Scotland, in place of a live lookup whose quality varied by area. Transport scores no longer depend on how well an area happens to be mapped.

Amenities served from a stored snapshot

improvement

Amenity counts (schools, food and drink, healthcare, shops, parks and leisure) are precomputed per area and served from the store rather than a live query, so values are stable request to request.

1.2.0

August 2026 · 2026-08-28

Property prices are now more reliable in small areas. The median and its year-on-year change use an official small-area price series, so a single recent sale no longer swings the figure.

More reliable property prices

improvement

Median sale price and its year-on-year change now use an official rolling-year small-area price series instead of a self-computed figure that could swing on a handful of sales. Every value keeps its confidence rating.

1.1.0

August 2026 · 2026-08-04

Intent-aware scoring. Every preset now scores the same seven categories; the decision you are making only changes how they are weighted.

Intent-aware scoring

improvement

Every preset now scores the same seven categories (safety and crime, deprivation, property, schools, amenities, transport, environment) from the full set of sources. The decision you are making only changes how they are weighted: property counts for more when investing, transport when choosing a business site, deprivation when moving.

Custom weights on any preset

improvement

Re-weight the same seven categories for any preset, so a score can follow your own priorities. Every response is still stamped with the engine version that produced it, so numbers stay reproducible for audits.

Published for AI agents

improvement

OneGoodArea now publishes an llms.txt, a documented page for AI agents, and a crawlable OpenAPI spec, so the AI assistants your team uses can read, query, and cite us accurately. The scoring stays deterministic and version-stamped, so any answer they give reproduces.

The launch. The data and intelligence layer for UK area workflows, live: four products on one shared store of signals and one fixed scoring engine.

OneGoodArea 1.0

feature

The data and intelligence layer for UK area workflows, live. Four products on one shared store of signals and one fixed scoring engine.

Signals

feature

Every public signal for an area across seven categories: crime, deprivation, property, schools, amenities, transport and environment. Each value carries its source, when it was measured, its confidence, and where it sits nationally and regionally.

Scores

feature

A single 0 to 100 score for an area, built from the seven categories for one of four presets. The scoring never uses AI, so the same inputs always return the same score, and every result is stamped with a version you can pin and reproduce.

Monitor

feature

Watch a list of areas and get told when something material changes, with a signed webhook. Small, noisy moves are held back, so you only hear about the ones that matter.

Intelligence

feature

Ask in plain English or send a typed query. You get the answer and the exact query behind it, so every result can be checked and run again. Includes similar-area comparison, outlier detection and a straightforward forecast. The AI works out the query; it never decides the numbers.

Enterprise controls

feature

Per-organisation signal bundles, saved scoring presets, version pinning, peer groups, role-based access, white-labelling, and per-key IP allowlisting.
