Analysis Overview

Analyses are checks that Vantage runs against one or more plots. They turn plot geometry and metadata into reviewable outputs such as risk levels, environmental signals, overlap summaries, visual evidence, and report artifacts.

Analyses can be started in the Vantage app or through the Vantage API. The API Reference documents the supported programmatic workflows, including plot registration, EUDR and Geospatial Analysis job creation, result retrieval, and standalone Protected Areas checks.

Analysis Jobs​

Most analysis work runs through a job. A job is an asynchronous analysis request that can include one or many plots.

When a job is created, Vantage records:

  • The plots included in the run.
  • The selected analysis check or checks.
  • Any configuration used for the run, such as commodity, harvest date, or date range.
  • The job status and timestamps.
  • Token reservation and token usage where applicable.

Each plot in the job receives an analysis run. The analysis run stores the exact check type, effective configuration, status, token cost, artifacts, and output for that plot. This makes repeated analysis auditable when users rerun checks with different dates, commodities, or settings.

EUDR Analysis​

EUDR analysis is the main regulated workflow in Vantage. It is usually run as a job because teams need to assess one or more plots and track results over time.

An EUDR job combines:

  • Plot geometry.
  • Commodity and harvest date.
  • Forest and deforestation signals.
  • Protected area context.
  • Indigenous land overlap.
  • Source metadata and visual outputs.

The EUDR result focuses on a plot-level risk assessment, with supporting evidence for reviewers. Protected area and Indigenous land results are included for transparency and due diligence support.

See EUDR Analysis for risk levels, lifecycle states, and result details.

Protected Areas Checks​

Protected Areas can appear in two places:

  • Inside EUDR analysis, where protected area overlap is part of the broader due diligence evidence.
  • As a standalone API check, where users only need protected area overlap validation and do not need a full EUDR job.

Standalone Protected Areas checks can accept registered plot IDs, raw GeoJSON geometries, or both. They return a GeoJSON FeatureCollection with overlap results, source traceability, and regulatory metadata where available.

See Protected Areas for the standalone workflow and returned metadata.

Geospatial Analysis​

Vantage also supports broader geospatial analysis for screening and prioritization use cases, including farm condition, soil moisture, productivity trend, drought stress, flood and wildfire risk families, El Niño climate signals, visual verification, and suitability screens.

These analyses are designed to support operational review and decision support. Some are validated named analyses; others are provisional screens while public methodology and result definitions continue to stabilize.

See Geospatial Analysis for the current capability catalogue.
