Architecture boundary
Control boundary
A feasibility screen supports review; it does not replace planning, surveying, engineering, legal, or development approval.
Development intelligence workflow
Connect parcels, zoning, overlays, planning applications, hazards, utilities, access, market context, and development assumptions into an early-stage opportunity screen.
Illustrative implementation pattern. These are real examples of working operating-layer patterns. What can be implemented in practice depends on authorized access, platform terms, data quality, security requirements, client participation, and agreed human-approval controls. Tools named in these patterns are possible components, not required products. Property, planning, tax, valuation, safety, biometric, engineering, and legal outputs require appropriate qualified review.
County parcel, FEMA, and U.S. Census references are United States examples. Australian screens typically require the relevant state or territory planning portal, local council controls, state hazard mapping, land-title or cadastre sources, utility evidence, and Australian Bureau of Statistics data. A screen uses the rules effective for the exact parcel and date; it is not planning approval or professional certification.
Why this workflow matters
An early development screen combines rules, maps, constraints, market evidence, and scenario assumptions that differ by parcel, version, and jurisdiction. The process must preserve citations and expose unknowns before a scenario is treated as feasible.

Reference layer
These sources and tools are selected according to authority, permission, technical fit, security, and client ownership.
Municipal zoning maps, codes, overlays, and planning registers
County parcel boundaries and ownership records
FEMA and other official hazard datasets
Census and approved market datasets
PostGIS, QGIS, ArcGIS, or approved mapping services.
Controlled storage for ordinances, planning decisions, and cited extracts.
Document classification and candidate clause extraction.
Formula services for site area, density, parking, yield, and sensitivity scenarios.
Ten-stage operating path
Each stage establishes a distinct decision, record, handoff, or approval boundary. Exceptions remain visible instead of being silently forced through the process.
Define proposed use, location, and screening criteria.
Assemble parcels and site boundaries.
Retrieve current zoning, overlays, plans, and recorded constraints.
Extract candidate rules with page-level citations.
Map rules and constraints to each parcel.
Model scenarios using explicit assumptions and formulas.
Test access, hazard, utility, market, and entitlement sensitivities.
Flag unknowns requiring surveyor, planner, engineer, or lawyer input.
Approve the screen through a qualified planning or development reviewer.
Issue a versioned feasibility brief and evidence register.
Required data layer
The implementation boundary should name each required record, relationship, source, status, permission, and owner before automation is introduced.

Acceptance measures
Acceptance measures test the reliability and governance of the workflow. They are evaluation criteria, not promised performance results.
Typical starting engagement
This is planning guidance for a bounded first implementation, not a quote. The Blueprint confirms systems, access, data condition, responsibilities, exclusions, acceptance, timing, and fixed price.
Workflow assessment
Confirm the current records, sources, permissions, owners, exceptions, approval points, and acceptance measures before selecting automation or AI tools.
