A disciplined preliminary screen—not a professional determination.

What Landery is designed to determine

In the technical method below, program-sized means the requested home, septic reserve, well, accessory building, yard and access are drawn at the dimensions supplied by the user.

• Whether the selected parcel identity and assemblage can be verified from the current county service.
• Which mapped constraints, local dimensional requirements and access questions materially affect the requested plan.
• Whether one or more program-sized concepts can be drawn without obvious conflicts in the available evidence.
• Which possibility currently has the strongest evidence, which dependencies remain and what to verify next.
• Whether the evidence is too incomplete or contradictory to support a useful preliminary conclusion.

What Landery cannot determine

Landery does not establish survey boundaries, title rights, legal frontage, jurisdictional wetlands, septic suitability, well yield, engineered grades, structural feasibility, utility capacity, environmental liability, market value or permit approval. A drawn concept is never presented as a guaranteed building site.

Conclusion and confidence language

Top-level status is restricted to Preliminary opportunity, Material constraints or Insufficient data. Confidence describes the completeness, agreement and freshness of the evidence—not approval likelihood. Landery does not publish a consumer-facing “buildability score”; ranked possibilities are explained through program fit, conflicts, access, uncertainty and next actions.

How Landery generates an analysis

1. Confirm the property. Verify the selected parcel against available current records and require the user to confirm the mapped selection.
2. Gather dated evidence. Assemble the supported parcel, environmental, terrain, access and imagery sources relevant to the property.
3. Apply supported local requirements. Identify the controlling jurisdiction and use documented requirements only where current property-level coverage is supported.
4. Test the requested plan. Evaluate the realistically sized home, septic reserve, well, accessory building, yard and driveway together.
5. Compare honest possibilities. Present alternatives only when the available evidence supports them; material constraints or no credible arrangement are valid results.
6. Explain the next decision. Generate a preliminary conclusion, evidence and confidence labels, unresolved questions and the most useful professional verification steps.

Landery combines authoritative public data, automated spatial analysis and documented local requirements to produce a preliminary land due-diligence assessment. The underlying analytical methods are proprietary.

Automated quality controls

Before an analysis is marked complete, Landery checks that the required evidence is available and internally consistent, the requested plan has been evaluated against supported data and local requirements, and the report’s findings, maps and limitations agree. If those standards cannot be met, the analysis is blocked or reports insufficient data.

Landery reports are generated by software. They are not individually prepared, reviewed or approved by an engineer, surveyor, environmental consultant, zoning official, attorney or human land-use analyst.

How evidence is labeled

Current geographic coverage

The private beta currently has release-supported coverage for Grattan, Ada, Cannon, Vergennes, Lowell, Alpine, Byron and Plainfield townships in Kent County, Michigan. Courtland and Solon currently have parcel-specific acceptance coverage only; unsupported parcels there are blocked. Preflight may still block any property if its zoning district, required source or imagery vintage cannot be verified. Other Michigan counties and the continental United States are future coverage goals, not current claims.

Source freshness and updates

Parcel identity is checked fresh for each new analysis. Supporting layers may use a labeled snapshot last verified within 30 days when the agency source and effective or acquisition date are known. Local rulesets become ineligible for a full report when their verification window expires. A saved report remains tied to its original manifest; refreshing evidence creates a new analysis run.

Source families in the public sample

What automation does not confirm

Automation cannot independently confirm exact legal boundaries, official wetland boundaries, septic or well approval, legal access, clear title, utility availability, zoning or variance approval, permit eligibility, final engineering feasibility, construction cost or a professional environmental conclusion. Landery flags the applicable verification step instead of presenting an automated screen as that determination.

Automated interpretation disclosure

Landery uses automated spatial analysis and rules-based screening to generate findings and next-step explanations. The software does not replace cited public records or professional verification, and its outputs are not professional opinions. Uploaded legal and technical documents are private references and are not automatically interpreted in the current beta.
