Independent satellite evidence for decisions that have to hold up.
TerraX turns satellite and elevation data into an accountable spatial evidence layer — interpreted and signed off by a named specialist with a doctorate and a peer-reviewed record. Built for the moment a regulator, auditor, lender or court asks how you know.
The case for TerraX
The imagery is commoditised.
Satellite archives are open and processing pipelines are cheap. Access to pixels is no longer scarce, and no longer worth paying a premium for.
The interpretation is not.
What is scarce is a named specialist who will read the data, state what it does and does not show, and put their name to the finding — and stand behind it if it is questioned.
We work beneath the prime.
TerraX subcontracts to prime consultancies rather than competing with them. You keep the client and the relationship; we deliver the spatial evidence layer under your report.
One discipline, many sectors.
The technique is the same; the question changes with the sector — from mine rehabilitation to satellite crop monitoring. Find the one that matches yours.

A real, checkable publication record.
TerraX is led by a scientist with a doctorate in environmental science, specialising in hyperspectral remote sensing, and a body of peer-reviewed work in exactly the methods the consultancy sells. The credentials are checkable, which is the entire point — every paper is listed with its DOI, and the Google Scholar record is public.
One clear next step.
