How AINTELLIGENCE reaches its compliance and health verdicts
Transparent data sources, honest accuracy language, and a validation programme aligned with EU buyer expectations.
Data sources
Sentinel-2 optical imagery for vegetation indices and change detection
Hansen Global Forest Watch tree-cover loss (2001–2024)
SAR consensus layer for cloud-persistent disturbance signals
EUDR protected-area and legality registries where applicable
Accuracy & limitations
Verdicts reflect the best available remote-sensing evidence at the analysis date. They support due diligence but do not replace ground truth, legal title review, or operator attestations required under EUDR.
Independent validation
A formal third-party validation study covering West African cocoa supply chains is scheduled for publication in 2026. Until then, pilot deployments are benchmarked against cooperative ground-truth samples.
Validation report target: Q3 2026
