Place
Putting every listing, venue and event where it actually is, not where a form says it is.

Spatial Intelligence
Knowing where things are, and why it matters.
Spatial Intelligence
Location changes the answer.
The same question means something different on a different street. Spatial intelligence is our work on giving software a sense of place: where something is, what surrounds it, and how that should change what a system says or does.
What we work on
Surroundings
What is nearby — transit, shops, noise, people — and what that means for the question being asked.
Movement
How people really get from one place to another, and how long it takes them.
How it works
01Place it
Every listing, venue or event is put where it really is, and the written address is kept alongside the pin.
02Read the surroundings
What is nearby is gathered for the question at hand: a walk to the station, a street that is loud at night, a shop at the corner.
03Let place shape the answer
Location and surroundings travel on to scores and agents, so their answers change when the street does.
Where it shows up
Principles
01
A pin is a claim
A written address and a point on a map are two claims about a place. When they disagree, the gap is information.
02
People rent a walk, not a coordinate
What surrounds a home matters as much as where it is.
03
Place comes first
If the place is wrong, everything built on top of it inherits the error.
Start with the map.
StayOnMap is where our spatial work is used first: every home, where it really is.
