A council publishing a dataset
The reader is a resident, an objector, an auditor, or a councillor asking why the figure moved between two reports. “Our system produced it” answers none of them.
In development
Services
That sentence is first because it is the one a reader would otherwise find out later. There is no customer, no delivered integration, no service operated for anyone and no money taken. What follows describes a capability and a method, not a history — and for the reader this page is written for, that is worth more than a polished claim, because polished claims are what they have been sold before.
The offer
A council's planning register. A company's site list, asset inventory or lease schedule. You already hold it, so the licence question that has stopped every external source this project has assessed does not arise — it is your data. What you may not have is a way to prove to somebody who does not trust you that the numbers are what they say.
The reader is a resident, an objector, an auditor, or a councillor asking why the figure moved between two reports. “Our system produced it” answers none of them.
The reader is a board, a lender, an insurer or a regulator. Same question in a different room: where did this come from, and what does it not cover?
Both are trying to show a third party that a number is what it says it is. That is a provenance problem before it is a data problem, and buying a better dataset does not make it go away.
None of this requires DwellDelta to hold your data, and today none of it could — see the absences further down. Your file stays where it is.
The method
These are not intentions. Each is a rule this project already applies to itself, and each is checkable on a page you can read right now — which is the only kind of evidence available to something that has no customers.
NO-GO on its own terms —
NonCommercial and NoDerivatives — rather than used and argued about later. The preloaded
boundaries here were chosen public-domain over an OpenStreetMap-derived set specifically
because share-alike would bind every database derived from them.In useThe data page is the worked example — not a description of one. It is a real ledger over a real dataset under real licences, with the digest of the record it was copied from printed on it and a test that fails if page and record ever disagree. That is the shape of what this work produces. Read it as the deliverable.
The honest shape
Data you already hold removes the third-party licence question entirely, by construction — and that question is the single thing that has stopped every external source this project has assessed. It does not touch three others, and those three have never been scheduled here. Both halves are the offer; one half would be a sales pitch.
“The customer owns it” is not a defence available to a processor.
From the internal advisory that assessed this exact proposition
Those three are one roadmap row — identity, authorization, tenant isolation, audit, session and account deletion. It is not on the roadmap, and a test in a sibling repository fails if anyone adds it. That is how a boundary that has been declined stays declined instead of drifting. It is stated here because “not yet built” and “deliberately not opened” are different sentences to anyone who has to sign a data-sharing agreement, and a reader deciding whether to send a file is entitled to know which one applies.
Measured absences
This is the list a supplier is not supposed to publish. It is here because it is the list that decides whether any of the above is real, and because somebody who cannot tell you what they have not built has not looked.
Every line above was read out of the repositories rather than recalled, which is the same standard the rest of this site holds. It is also the reason this page can be believed about the things it does claim.
Known limits
Contact
One dataset, one licence position, one coverage statement, one set of digests. Not a programme — the smallest piece of work that produces something you can hand to somebody who does not trust you, together with a written list of what it does not establish.
The route. There is no form on this page and none anywhere on this site. There is no address printed here either, and that is the same rule the rest of the site follows: things are recorded when they exist, not before. No mailbox has been created, so printing one would be this page's first false claim. If someone sent you this page, replying to them reaches whoever wrote it; if nobody did, there is no route today — a worse answer than a form, and a truer one. A mailbox goes in this paragraph the day one exists, and it will be a mailbox rather than a form: a form implies something is standing by to receive it.
A useful first message is four lines — the dataset, who holds it, the licence or terms it is held under if that is known, and the third party you need to convince. That is enough for either side to say whether this is worth the time.
