Methods

Patent evidence starts as publications and structured records, then becomes addresses, coordinates, governed geographies, and analytical outputs. The same chain supports Data delivery, Atlas exploration, and Ibsen Intelligence.

The important parts stay visible: source material, extracted fields, geocoding decisions, and the point where records become maps, rankings, comparisons, or forecasts.

Process

PDF to extract to geocode to analyse.

Principles

Evidence should be checkable at each handoff.

Source documents, parsed fields, geocoding outputs, and modelling choices need to survive the journey into a product surface. That is the standard behind the data, atlas, and intelligence workflows.
