GIS reports for business and planning decisions
Choosing a site, explaining risk, or defending a map-based claim can get expensive when the data is unclear. GeoIntel Works turns addresses, maps, public data, and existing reports into plain-language PDF memos with maps, source notes, risks, and recommended next steps.
Report-style PDF deliverables
Clear recommendation, caveats, and next steps
Built for non-GIS decision-makers
Rent, buildout, staffing, financing, and expansion costs often come before the risk is obvious. A short site memo helps you compare the location before you commit.
A map is useful only when someone explains what it means, what it leaves out, and how it should affect the decision.
Grant maps, risk memos, and model-backed claims are stronger when the sources, limits, and assumptions are written clearly.
Free fit check
Send the business question, location, timeline, and any files you already have. I will tell you whether I can help, what a practical first scope would look like, and what the next paid step would cost.
Booking opens in Google Calendar. Appointment times are intended for New York / Eastern Time.
Typical response: 24-48 hours.
For complex or high-risk projects, the next step may be a separately quoted scoping session before a full report.
Use this for fit, data readiness, timeline, or whether a quick scan or custom memo makes sense.
Best when you need to explain business context before a written quote.
After scope is clear, you receive deliverables, timeline, payment terms, and an invoice or payment link.
Starting prices
Most clients begin with one of these practical scopes. Final pricing depends on the study area, available data, number of sites, and how much explanation the decision needs.
No payment is requested until the deliverable, timeline, data request, and fixed price are confirmed in writing.

View pageWhat you can hire me to do
You do not need to know GIS terminology. Send the business question, the location, and the data you already have. I turn it into a clear report your team can read, discuss, and use.
Business site selection
Use a concise map-backed memo to compare candidate stores, nearby competitors, access, local demand, and practical risks before signing a lease or spending on buildout.
View site reports02Risk and grant maps
Turn public indicators such as lead risk, infrastructure, demographics, and environmental burden into maps and notes that support grants, planning memos, and early review.
View risk maps03Map and model review
Get a second opinion on maps, spatial models, reports, and data workflows before a client, reviewer, funder, or partner asks how the conclusion was reached.

The sample PDFs show the format of a real client deliverable: maps, plain-language interpretation, data sources, limitations, recommendation, and practical next steps.
Decision examples
These common project scenarios show how GeoIntel Works turns a location question into a focused report a client, partner, funder, or decision-maker can discuss.
01
Site selectionThe lease numbers look workable, but the owner needs a practical view of demand signals, competitors, access, and hidden location risk before signing.
02
Risk mappingThe team has public indicators, but the map needs to explain where risk is concentrated, what the data can support, and what still needs local verification.
03
Expert reviewThe draft report is visually polished, but the spatial method, scale assumptions, and wording of the claims need to stand up to questions.
Project details are simplified to show typical decision patterns, inputs, and deliverables. A paid engagement is scoped in writing before analysis begins.
Direct expert delivery
Dr. Danlin Yu
Professor of GIS and spatial data scientist
GeoIntel Works is built around direct senior delivery: the same professor-level expert scopes the question, builds or reviews the spatial work, and writes the interpretation. That makes the deliverable faster to understand and easier to defend.
Service packages
Start with a small, practical engagement. Before any paid work begins, you know the deliverable, price, timeline, and what data I need from you.
A practical decision memo for owners comparing a storefront, clinic, restaurant, franchise, or local-service location before signing a lease.
Free, no-obligation quote
A clear map memo that shows where environmental burden, lead-risk context, infrastructure stress, and vulnerable populations may overlap.
Free, no-obligation quote
A focused review of how your team collects, organizes, maps, analyzes, and explains location-based data across reports, data files, PDFs, and maps.
Free, no-obligation quote
Expert review of maps, spatial statistics, model assumptions, methods, and claims before they appear in a report, proposal, or client deliverable.
Free, no-obligation quote
Expert judgment, explained plainly
The work can involve GIS, spatial statistics, remote sensing, modeling, or a careful review of existing reports. The outcome is simple: you understand what the location data supports, what it does not support, and what to verify next. Final business, legal, financial, property, and investment decisions remain with the client.
Send the address, study area, report, dataset, or business question. I will suggest a practical first step and tell you what the work would cost.
