Remove one source. The conclusion changes.

STRATAFORM's methodology is four steps, in order, always. It exists so a human — buyer or professional — can review the outcome and stand behind the decision.

MethodologyHuman decision support

The four steps

STRATAFORM.app helps you make property decisions. STRATAFORM.tech shows how those decisions are constructed and verified.

STEP 01
Intake
Capture role, scenario, location and constraints. No decision is made here — the goal is to describe reality accurately.
STEP 02
Evidence Map
Assemble known claims, missing evidence and reliability class. This is where the Evidence Graph takes shape.
STEP 03
Routing
Identify which professionals — surveyor, notary, lawyer, tax advisor — should answer which open questions, in which order.
STEP 04
Dossier
Compose the reviewable Property Decision Dossier: what is known, what is missing, what to do next, in plain language.
