Compass: Engine™
Knowledge graph technology for the decisions that shape places
Built from over a decade of research and development, Compass: Engine™ transforms your data into spatial intelligence, the explainable-AI foundation for all SimAnalytica products and configuration services.
The Case for the Engine
Most organisations sit on rich spatial data but struggle to act on it: it is fragmented across systems, the expertise to interpret it is locked in a handful of people, and off-the-shelf AI cannot be trusted with the decisions that matter. Compass: Engine™ links your data into one coherent, contextualised model and lets anyone interrogate it in plain language, without hallucinations, turning scattered data and scarce expertise into faster, lower-cost, defensible decisions.
How It Works
From disconnected data to spatial intelligence
Compass: Engine™ turns your fragmented, siloed information into one coherent, queryable model, with explainable AI at every stage.
PDF · CAD · Excel · GIS
Ingest and normalise any source
Documents, drawings, spreadsheets and geospatial files are ingested from any source, cleaned and normalised automatically. No manual data wrangling required.
Your data
Regions · Sites · Projects · Assets
Link everything into one graph
Entities are linked across space and time into a single knowledge graph. This structured model captures your organisation's expertise and gives every analyst and agent a reliable foundation to reason from.
Spatial knowledge graph · the brain
Features are linked across the map into one knowledge graph that captures your organisation's knowledge, fosters collaboration and gives AI agents reliable structure to follow.
Humans + AI working together
Put analysis to work, grow the knowledge
Analysts, decision-makers and AI agents interrogate every data source as one coherent model. They extend it further by running simulations and analysis, feeding new findings straight back in.
Humans + AI, one model
Dashboards · Reports · Data Lake · Export
Deliver insight where you work
Every query and workflow enriches the graph over time. Results are delivered as dashboards, reports, a queryable data lake and exports that plug into your existing systems and pipelines.
What Sets Us Apart
Built for trustworthy, enterprise AI
Eliminating AI Hallucinations
Answers are grounded in the knowledge graph, not guessed. Every response traces back to your real data.
Future-proofed for the era of Agentic AI
MCP support means Compass: Engine™ is agnostic to the agent's source, so you can connect the agents you already use.
Sovereign & Secure
Your data stays resident and is never used to train third-party models. Your data and know-how remain yours.
