Burnt area and damage degree
Between a pre-fire and a post-fire Sentinel-2 composite, the record maps what burnt and how hard, in five classes from unburnt to high. A claims desk gets the extent and severity of a fire on the claimed ground, with the scenes it came from.
For forest owners and associations, forest insurers, and claims desks settling fire losses. Claims validation calls the same reading for fire claims.

02 · How it is read
From the open archive to the record
Public sources
- 01
Damage degree is a spectral severity class. It describes how much the canopy and ground changed, and it is not a share of value lost.
- 02
The classes were checked against fires graded by USGS MTBS and by Copernicus EMS, none of which were used to tune them.
03 · The record behind it
What it has been measured against
Each figure is printed with its denominator and scope in the paper it links to.
- 21 fires
- held out and graded by USGS MTBS or Copernicus EMS: damage degree cleared both pre-registered agreement gates (kappa 0.462, AC1 0.658)

Plot evidence
One evidence document per plot: what the open record shows stood on the ground in each dry season before the cutoff.
Archive imagery review
For plots the open record could not settle, a named reader files a dated reading of a sub-metre scene from before the cutoff.
Cases
Every withheld plot and every alert is worked as a case, with an append-only record you can show a competent authority.
Supplier requests
Ask a supplier for boundaries, planting records or a land title through a link that needs no account, and import what comes back.
Shipments and statements
Group the plots behind a consignment, get the shipment report, and export the statement in the Information System’s field order.
Evidence pack and share links
Hand one plot’s evidence to a buyer, a platform or an auditor: a PDF and ZIP pack, and a revocable link that needs no sign-in.
Send us ten flagged plots
Send the boundaries of ten plots your screen flagged. The record comes back within 48 hours as a PDF with the layers, each plot with its finding or its reason and next step.
