Decision

What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-06-28

Track; not yet

Why
Genuinely novel capability (first space P-band) and data is open, but it is in the early tomographic-build phase with hard geographic gaps and an unvalidated coarse accuracy target.
Next
Monitor for the first validated L2 above-ground-biomass maps (post tomographic phase) and ingest L1 P-band stacks only for tropical-belt AOIs where coverage is allowed; do not design any product depending on North America/Europe P-band.
