The AI workspace for location decisions.

Curated Intelligence™ lets anyone ask in plain language. It runs expert playbooks across your ArcGIS layers, your own data, and the parcel, zoning and permit records nobody had time to connect, shows its work on the live map, and hands you a report you can defend.

  • Built by an Esri Gold Partner
  • Connects to ArcGIS
  • Works with your data, or ours
Evaluating 12 Williams Street, Bel Air MD for an active adult community — it proposes the playbook, waits for approval, then enriches the trade area on the map.

01 / Why Curated

Curated does three things a general AI cannot do.

You already have AI, and it will give you a confident answer immediately. But it has never seen your portfolio, it does not know your criteria, and it cannot show you where the number came from.

It knows your sites.

The locations you hold, the layers you publish, the criteria you judge by, and the notes your team keeps against each one. A general model starts from zero every session. Curated starts from your portfolio.

Load a playbook?

Curated wants to run active-adult to answer this. Its method, rubric, and thresholds are open for review.

Approve Not now

It follows a method.

Expert playbooks encode how the analysis should be done, step by step, with the rubric in the open. Curated asks before it loads one, so you always know which method produced the answer.

Predominance

It shows its work on the map.

Every step lands on the live map as it happens, so you can see the geography behind the number and push back on it. The map is how a human checks the machine.

02 / Inside the workspace

Ask, style the map, run the method, keep the answer.

The map, the method and the data in one place, so the analysis happens in front of you instead of somewhere else.

Ask the way you would ask a colleague.

No query syntax, no tool menu, no ticket in a queue. Type the question, in the workspace, on top of the map your organization already uses.

Predominance, dot density, heat, clusters. Just say it.

Restyle any layer in plain language and watch the geography reorganize itself. No symbology dialogs, no renderer settings.

It picks a method, and asks before it runs it.

Playbooks encode how the analysis should be done, with their steps, rubric, and thresholds in the open. Curated proposes one and waits for your approval, so you always know which method produced the answer.

The data you never had time to connect.

Parcel boundaries and ownership, what can actually be built there, who filed a permit next door, property records, and sector supply. Reconciled into one record and queried like anything else.

Work from your layers, not a sample dataset.

Connect the ArcGIS layers your organization already publishes, drop a spreadsheet or an image into the conversation, and keep notes against each site as you go.

Every claim carries where it came from.

Web-backed answers arrive with their sources attached as citations you can open, not a bibliography invented after the fact.

The answer outlives the session.

Turn the result into a report or an interactive PlaceStory™, and it stays in the workspace with the question, the method and the sources attached to it.

Your portal, your layers, your permissions.

Sign in with your own ArcGIS account and browse the web maps you already have. Curated is built by an Esri Gold Partner and works with the platform your organization already runs.

03 / In their words

From the people who pick places for a living.

Laura Lopez VP of Market Research StoryPoint Group

It's a lens on our business nothing else in our stack gives me.

I've worked in GIS for years. Curated takes the same rich data I've always relied on and delivers it at light speed.

David Hicks Founder & CEO David Hicks Company

It always took a specialist to get much out of GIS. Not anymore.

With Curated I just have a conversation, and it hands me the kind of location analysis that would take a whole team.

Curated is pushing traditional GIS into a new frontier.

Using AI to bring demographic and mapping data together in a clean, accessible way. An ambitious step into the future of location intelligence.

03 / What you can ask

Location is not a department. It is already inside most of your questions.

Pricing, marketing, risk, competition, coverage, expansion. Curated runs the playbook that fits the question, whichever of those it turns out to be.

Pricing

Which of our markets can absorb a price increase?

Competition

Who opened near us in the last twelve months?

Portfolio

Has the population around our weakest store actually changed?

Marketing

Where do our best customers actually live?

Risk

What is being built next door to our site, and by whom?

Expansion

Rank every candidate in this metro against the criteria we use.

Coverage

Who are we failing to reach, and where are they?

Operations

Which service areas are we spreading too thin?

Pricing

Which of our markets can absorb a price increase?

Competition

Who opened near us in the last twelve months?

Expansion

Rank every candidate in this metro against the criteria we use.

Coverage

Who are we failing to reach, and where are they?

Operations

Which service areas are we spreading too thin?

Diligence

What can actually be built on this parcel?

Competition

Is the competitor across the river, or next door?

Market

Profile the trade area around this address.

Pipeline

What is under construction within two miles?

Ownership

Who owns the parcels adjacent to ours?

Portfolio

Which of our locations no longer match the people around them?

Demand

Where is demand forming that nobody has priced in yet?

Segments

Which lifestyle segments dominate this trade area?

04 / The data

Built on the data you already use. And the data you didn't know existed.

Curated is a connector, never a data vendor. Your own layers, the foundation your GIS team already trusts, and the public and licensed records nobody ever had time to wire up.

Demographics

Spending

Segmentation

Points of interest

Drive-time areas

Geocoding

The foundation

The spatial platform your organization already trusts.

Esri Partner Network Gold

Your data

And everything your organization already knows.

ArcGIS layers Files Site notes Criteria

Living Atlas

Parcels

Zoning

Permits

Property records

Construction pipeline

Sector supply

Rental comparables

Healthcare providers

Live web, cited

Availability varies by plan and by what your organization is entitled to.

05 / What's coming

Six surfaces. One workspace.

four are live today. two are still being built, and we would rather tell you which is which than let you find out in a demo.

  • Live today
  • On the roadmap
Live

Maps

The live map every analysis happens on, so you can check each step against the ground rather than take the answer on faith.

Live

Playbooks

The codified method for a decision, with its steps, rubric and thresholds in the open. Curated proposes one and waits for your approval before it runs.

Live

Data

Your own layers, the spatial foundation your organization already trusts, and the parcels, zoning and permits nobody had time to connect.

Live

Reports

The answer you keep. A report or an interactive PlaceStory™, still carrying the question, the method and the sources that produced it.

Roadmap

Drive

Your files and documents, indexed rather than pasted, so the next answer already knows what your organization knows.

Roadmap

Monitors

A question you only have to ask once. Curated keeps running it, and tells you when the answer changes.

06 / Enterprise

The questions IT asks before anyone else gets a seat.

Curated is built to survive a security review, not to explain its way around one.

Run Curated on your own infrastructure, or on ours. The choice is a deployment decision, not a different product.

Either way, every organization is isolated at the database schema. Not by a filter in a query.

We never train models on your data. Not now, not on a future roadmap.

Bring your own model keys and your own ArcGIS account. Your governance, your permissions.

We are on the SOC 2 certification path.

07 / Playbooks

The methodology is already written for your vertical.

A playbook is how your best analyst would run the decision, encoded. It ships with the product, and Curated asks before it loads one.

Senior living and active adult

  • Active adult

Childcare and early education

  • Childcare center

Retail and restaurants

  • Grocery
  • Quick service
  • Pharmacy
  • Convenience
  • Car wash

Commercial real estate

  • Site analysis
  • Market scan
  • Expansion

Decisions in every vertical

  • Pricing
  • Competition
  • Marketing
  • Weather and emergency

Your vertical is not on this list.

Then we write the playbook with your team, from the way you already decide.
