Geometrack Framework

How We Deliver Verified, Traceable, and Defensible Intelligence

Accurate deforestation monitoring requires more than automated alerts. Geometrack follows a structured, evidence-based framework that ensures every identified activity is correctly verified, clearly attributed, and transparently documented.

This methodology gives users reliable insights they can trust, from detection to final reporting.

Why Our Framework Exists

From Satellite Data to Actionable Insights

Our framework ensures that:
  • Every detected change is reviewed and validated,
  • Every verified case is backed by evidence,
  • And every incident is linked to the right actors in the supply chain.

This creates clarity, transparency, and fairness for all stakeholders.

Our Core Principles

A structured, transparent, and defensible process that transforms satellite signals into verified, supply-chain-linked intelligence.

Accuracy

Every detection is validated by trained analysts to eliminate false positives.

Transparency

All verification steps — imagery, evidence, and classifications — are fully documented.

Traceability

Verified cases are linked to the correct mills, ownership groups, and surrounding plantations.

Consistency

A standard methodology is applied across regions and datasets.

Responsiveness

Satellite imagery updates frequently, allowing early detection and informed action.

The Geometrack Verification Framework

Below is the methodology that drives every verified insight:

Step 1

Satellite Detection

We monitor key producing regions using optical and radar satellite data from multiple global providers.

This identifies early signals of land-use change, including clearing, replanting, peat disturbance, or new activity.

Data sources include:
NASA USGS
ESA
Earth Engine
PlanetLabs
Sentinel Hub
Step 2

Human Verification

Every alert is reviewed by expert analysts who analyze:

This identifies early signals of land-use change, including clearing, replanting, peat disturbance, or new activity.

Data sources include:
Multi-date satellite comparisons
Historical patterns
Land-use context
Concession & ownership boundaries
Nearby infrastructure and activity
Step 3

Field Investigation

For high-priority or disputed cases, Geometrack supports deeper verification through:

Data sources include:
Field photos
Videos
360° visuals
Land-check notes
Additional ground observations
Step 4

Land Use & Land Cover Classification

We classify each verified case based on:
  • Whether it occurred inside or outside a concession
  • Whether the area is forest, peat, replanting, or another land type

This step ensures accurate categorization for NDPE and ESG reporting.

Step 5

Supply-Chain Traceability

Geometrack links every verified incident to:
  • Whether it occurred inside or outside a concession
  • Whether the area is forest, peat, replanting, or another land type

This step ensures accurate categorization for NDPE and ESG reporting.

Step 6

Reporting & Delivery

Reporting & Delivery
  • Dashboard case pages
  • Bi-weekly non-compliance summaries
  • Bi-weekly non-compliance summaries
  • API data feeds

This ensures users receive structured, actionable, and audit-ready information.

Data Integrity & Reliability

Why This Framework Matters

NDPE+ isn’t just an upgraded policy — it’s a credible, evidence-backed standard that:

  • Reduces false positives from automated systems
  • Ensures fair and accurate attribution
  • Supports NDPE and ESG compliance needs
  • Builds trust with stakeholders and partners
  • Delivers clear, actionable intelligence
