The Power of the System
Designed to transform how you collect, analyze, and act on environmental data.
Comprehensive Survey Modules
From coastal estuaries to terrestrial bush health, our platform includes 18 specialized modules built to New Zealand standards. Collect data offline in the field, and sync instantly when back in range.
Instant Professional Reporting
Every single module generates instant, branded survey PDFs, site intelligence reports, and data exports ready for council submission or community sharing.
How Consent Alerts Work
Mauri Compass scans 16 regional council ArcGIS portals daily, matching new resource consent applications against your monitored boundaries. Here is how the pipeline works and what it means for kaitiaki on the ground.
1. Set a Watch
Draw or select a boundary in Pathfinder and activate consent monitoring. Set a buffer zone (0.5–50 km) around your rohe.
2. Daily Scan
Every morning at 6:00 AM NZST, the scan job queries all 16 council ArcGIS endpoints for new consent applications within your buffer.
3. AI Risk Assessment
Each new consent is assessed by AI for environmental risk based on activity type, proximity to your boundary, and cumulative effects.
4. Alert & Digest
New alerts appear in your dashboard immediately. Email digests (daily, weekly, or monthly) summarise findings with severity badges.
What You Can Do With an Alert
Link to Regional Plan Rules
Each alert auto-maps to relevant regional plan rules — see whether the activity is permitted, discretionary, or prohibited in your catchment.
Track Submission Deadlines
Countdown timers show days remaining to lodge a submission. Calendar export (.ics) adds deadlines to your calendar.
Detect Repeat Applicants
The system flags applicants who have lodged multiple consents near your boundary — useful for identifying cumulative pressure from a single operator.
Cross-Council Correlation
Identifies the same applicant operating across different regional councils — reveals patterns invisible when monitoring a single council.
Cumulative Effects Report
Export a branded PDF showing all consent activity around your boundary over time, with risk levels, maps, and density trends.
