Hawkeye is built on four layers: a geospatial engine, a research layer, a unified data pipeline, and an export & API surface.

Geospatial engine

Ward-level and county-level mapping across African nations.
Open-source mapping foundation (Leaflet) extended with proprietary African boundary datasets at constituency and ward resolution.
Real-time location intelligence and clustering.
Spatial joins across budget, project, audit, and citizen-feedback layers.
Source-traceable layers — every polygon and pin can be traced to its underlying record.
Drill-down from country → county → constituency → ward → project.

Pattern recognition across data sources.
Anomaly detection — spending irregularities, stalled delivery, audit red flags.
Predictive modelling per vertical (e.g., crop-yield forecasting, health-stockout prediction).
Document parsing (NLP) for government PDFs, gazettes, audit reports.
Automated brief generation, with sources cited.

Ingest → Clean → Validate → Enrich → Aggregate → Publish. Sources include:

Government databases — county and national budget records, NG-CDF allocations, procurement and contract registers, Auditor-General and Controller of Budget findings, gazette notices, Hansard.
Satellite imagery — boundary verification, land-use change, infrastructure-presence proxies, climate overlays.
Mobile signals — connectivity-pattern overlays, service-availability proxies, ward-level coverage gaps.
Community reports — citizen comments, ratings, voice notes, geolocated to the ward.
