Start with a U.S. overview and South Florida transportation. Deepen one regional corridor before extending worldwide.
01What this prototype does
A true 3D globe and 2D map with five independently selectable sectors, project and technology filters, company search, source inspection, comparison, geographic proximity and GeoJSON export.
Dots are approximate locations. They are not building footprints, mine boundaries or construction layouts. Evidence dates and source qualifications stay attached to each record.
02What a line means
Solid green relationship lines indicate a sourced commercial or supply association. They do not trace power lines, freight lanes, pipelines or road routes.
The separate South Florida rail and NHS highway layers are actual public network geometry. Port boundaries are statistical port limits, not terminal site plans. Neither a nearby railroad nor a nearby power plant proves access, capacity, demand or a contract.
03Status is an assertion
“Operating” and “under construction” reflect the cited source and its date. An old target date does not establish completion. Funding announcements are not treated as closed financing.
Older or undated evidence is flagged. Phase expansions are described separately from existing capacity. Closure and restart possibilities remain explicit.
04Where opportunities begin
For drvn: identify a buyer with an unmet workforce, visitor or passenger movement need, an accessible procurement path, an operating partner and enough demand.
Freight, mining, port operations and autonomous transport are adjacent hypotheses; service fit, authority, safety and economics need separate qualification.
05What comes next
EIA generator groups, USGS mineral records and selected NTAD networks are loaded. Next add interconnection queues and DOT project programs. Add dated permits, procurement notices and company filings as claim-level evidence.
Review conflicting changes before changing lifecycle status. Add source snapshots, deduplication, freshness checks and access controls before a recurring feed.
06The boundary of this pilot
This combines national and global source inventories with selected project dossiers. It is not a comprehensive infrastructure census or a live news service. No complete subcontractor directory, verified parcel suitability, utility spare-capacity model or demand forecast is included.
Private datasets and subscription feeds are outside the current scope. Procurement sources require checking addenda and deadlines before action.
