Domains

Horizontal infrastructure. Not a single vertical.

PlaceRouter is built across the domains where AI systems need facts about the physical world. Each carries an honest status: what is under active research, what has been probed for sources, and what is still being explored.

Active research

Experiments run and reported on the Research page.

Source probe

Sources tested for access, authentication, stability and shape in the multi-domain probe.

Integration

Sources connected for a specific requirement. None public yet.

Exploring

On the map. Not yet measured.

A source can be strong in one domain and wrong in the next.

Per-hardware calibration transferred to unseen sensors in air quality. Per-station personalization created negative transfer in weather. Freshness measurably degraded transit accuracy. PlaceRouter exists to learn those differences, not assume them.

AI can reason.
PlaceRouter connects it to the world.

Working in a domain we have not measured yet? That is usually where a pilot starts.
