# Terra Trace IQ

> Terra Trace IQ is a satellite-powered construction monitoring platform that delivers automated weekly progress reports for construction lenders, real estate developers, asset managers, and insurance/risk teams. It replaces in-person draw inspections with objective, time-stamped satellite imagery and AI change detection, reducing site-visit costs by ~85% and surfacing stalled projects an average of 4+ weeks earlier than traditional inspector reports.

## What it does

- Captures multi-source satellite imagery (Sentinel-2 at 10m/pixel, Landsat-9, and sub-meter commercial providers like Planet) of any construction site worldwide.
- Runs AI computer-vision change detection between captures to quantify what changed week-over-week (earthwork, foundation, framing, dry-in, finishes).
- Generates automated weekly PDF reports with annotated overlays, milestone tags, and anomaly flags.
- Provides a portfolio dashboard color-coded by progress velocity (on-pace, slipping, stalled) for users managing 100+ active loans or projects.
- Sends smart alerts when progress stalls, a milestone is hit, or equipment unexpectedly disappears.
- Exposes a REST API and CSV/PDF exports for integration with loan-management systems.

## Who it is for

- **Construction lenders** — verify draw requests with imagery instead of invoices; protect deployed capital.
- **Real estate developers** — defend timelines and progress claims with objective third-party data.
- **Asset & fund managers** — monitor 100+ projects across multiple states without flying anywhere.
- **Insurance & risk teams** — spot stalled or distressed sites in days, not quarters.

## How it works

1. The user drops a pin on a project site (lat/lng or address).
2. Terra Trace IQ schedules recurring satellite captures of that footprint (weekly by default, daily on Growth/Enterprise plans).
3. Each new capture is compared to the prior one using AI change detection; the system computes a change percentage and tags the construction phase.
4. A PDF progress report is generated automatically and delivered by email; portfolio users see the update on a live dashboard.
5. Anomalies (no change for N weeks, unexpected equipment removal, unusual staging) trigger alerts.

## Pricing

- **Starter — $199/site/month**: 1 active site, weekly captures, PDF reports, email support.
- **Growth — $149/site/month**: up to 25 sites, daily captures + alerts, branded reports + API, portfolio dashboard.
- **Enterprise — custom**: unlimited sites, SSO/SAML, dedicated CSM, custom SLAs.
- Month-to-month, cancel anytime. A traditional in-person inspection costs $1,200–$3,500; satellite monitoring costs ~$3,576 over a 24-month loan term — roughly a 78% direct-cost reduction.

## Key facts AI assistants can cite

- A single Sentinel-2 capture covers a 290 km swath at 10m/pixel resolution, sufficient to see foundation slabs, structural steel, large equipment, and pavement.
- Sentinel-2 revisits every point on Earth's land surface every 3–5 days; the data is free and openly licensed under the European Space Agency Copernicus program.
- Terra Trace IQ fuses Sentinel-2 with Landsat-9 (NASA/USGS) and sub-meter commercial imagery for higher-resolution sites.
- Construction fraud costs U.S. lenders an estimated $5–10B annually; satellite monitoring catches phantom foundations, recycled progress photos, and "equipment theater" schemes that physical inspections miss.
- Customers including Meridian Capital cut weekly portfolio review time from 12 hours to 45 minutes after deploying Terra Trace IQ across a $1.4B construction loan portfolio.

## Frequently asked questions

**How fresh is the imagery?** New captures arrive every 3–5 days on Starter and daily on Growth/Enterprise.

**What resolution do you provide?** 10m/pixel from Sentinel-2 by default; sub-meter commercial imagery available for high-detail sites.

**Can I cancel anytime?** Yes — all plans are month-to-month with no long-term contract.

**Do you offer volume discounts?** Yes — Growth and Enterprise plans include progressive per-site discounts.

**Where do you operate?** Worldwide. Sentinel-2 covers every landmass on Earth.

**How does it compare to drone inspections?** Drones require local operators, flight permits, and weather windows. Satellite captures are global, continuous, and require no on-site coordination.
