Why we’re building Leeana

We believe everyone should be able to ask and answer spatial questions with maps. We’re building the tools to make that a reality.

Rooted in sustainability, built for scale

We started by helping sustainability teams, running site-level checks - protected areas, species sensitivity, water risk, and early CSRD/TNFD reporting.

The blocker wasn’t intent; it was tooling. Powerful GIS sat behind manual steps and one-off workflows. Leeana pairs maps with AI to standardize the hard parts so answers are fast, auditable, and easy to share.

Usable

Ask in plain language or draw. Share as a link.

Traceable

Transparent sources and methods - no black boxes.

Responsible

Built for important environmental decisions.
