Decision

What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-06-28

Track; not yet

Why
The shipping product (VPS + Scaniverse) is real and useful in mapped areas, but the headline LGM generalization ('extrapolate locally by interpolating globally') is research-stage, and cm accuracy is gated on pre-scan coverage
Next
Pilot the NSDK 4.0 VPS in a single pre-scanned venue to validate real-world 6DoF accuracy and coverage before any product dependency; treat the 'Large Geospatial Model' framing as roadmap, not shipped capability
