Mapping and data analysis studio · Istanbul

Where should the next branch go? Which area is at risk?

What we do
We answer location questions with data. You get a table you can work on and a map that reads at a glance.
How
Surveying engineering background, open data sources, and a written source line on every delivery. Where each number comes from is always visible.
Who for
Retail and real estate, media, municipalities, and international organisations.

Every map started with a question.

A cross-section of published work. If you recognise your own question here, we can probably answer it too.

Two sides of Istanbul, one summer

Two sides of Istanbul, one summer

Three kilometres apart, on either side of a motorway: how differently does summer land?

Between Ataköy and Şirinevler the surface temperature gap is 4.2 °C. Green cover runs at 49.3% against 11.9%.

Data
Landsat 9 thermal band · Sentinel-2 · OpenStreetMap
Output
Publication-ready set: satellite image, surface temperature, greenness index

How far does Iran's missile range reach?

How far does Iran's missile range reach?

How much ground does the range debate actually cover on a map?

Range rings by missile type, drawn at a single scale. Which of the targets under discussion fall inside and which fall outside becomes visible on the map.

Data
CSIS Missile Threat · SIPRI · Janes · Natural Earth · OpenStreetMap
Output
Vertical video · range ring map · source report

Where can a data centre actually go in Türkiye?

Where can a data centre actually go in Türkiye?

The country is building its first hyperscale facilities. Where do they physically fit?

3,007 hexagons, 27 attributes. Once power, water and ground constraints stack up, the country narrows from 65% to 4% of its area.

Data
OpenStreetMap power infrastructure · GEM active faults · WRI Aqueduct 4.0 · Copernicus GLO-30 · GHSL
Output
Suitability score map · H3 dataset · constraint funnel chart

What share of Istanbul can reach a branch within a 15-minute drive?

The 15-minute drive areas of 29 branches merge into 561 km². That covers 8.17 million people, 57% of the city. Kadıköy and Ataşehir are fully covered; Şile and Çatalca are at zero.

IIIWhy us

"Couldn't our own team do this?"

They could. But in this work the mistakes happen in the data and the method, not in the code.

We know where the source data lies to you

Most open data is incomplete or has traps in it. Municipal datasets can report lengths at twice their real value; half the shops can be missing from a map database. An analysis built without knowing this looks clean and returns the wrong answer.

The method call is half the job

Where the threshold sits, which proxy variable to use, straight-line distance or the real road network. These decisions change the result completely and have nothing to do with writing code.

The output arrives ready for the boardroom

Finishing the analysis is not the end. The result has to become something you can defend in front of a board. That is the part we actually do.

Getting started

One conversation is enough. We scope it together.
