Data sources & citations
Every public dataset referenced by SKI(Y) Vision, the TerraScope engine, HydroScope, and Grid Pulse. Citations are grouped by domain; agency URLs are canonical entry points, not deep links to individual records.
This register identifies datasets used, planned, or available to TerraScope. A source listed here does not imply that every field in a given demo report was fetched from it. The SOURCE / DERIVED / GENERATED badge shown on a property evaluation result is authoritative for that render.
The investor pack bundles every filtered citation with a provenance statement, category counts, and access dates — formatted for due-diligence appendices.
