How to Track Land Use Change at a Site Over Time with Copilot
Track Land Use Change at a Site Over Time with Copilot and ToolRouter. Embed satellite change analysis in site appraisal and due diligence documents.
Tool
Copilot is useful when satellite imagery analysis is one component of a larger due diligence or site appraisal document. Pull the images and embed the findings directly in the document.

Steps
Once connected (see setup above), use the Satellite Imagery tool:
- Provide the site coordinates, dates, and the document to update.
- Run `capture_dated` via satellite-imagery for the relevant dates.
- Ask Copilot to add a site history section to the document with the satellite images and a change description.
- Output the updated document for review.
Example Prompt
Try this with Copilot using the Satellite Imagery tool
Use satellite-imagery to capture dated images of this development site for the last three years and add a site history section to the acquisition appraisal document. Include the images and a description of any significant changes visible over the period.
Tips
- A site history section in an appraisal document shows that the team has done comprehensive pre-acquisition research.
- Note any changes that could indicate environmental liabilities — contamination, drainage, demolition — and flag them for further investigation.
- Date-stamped satellite images are admissible evidence in planning and insurance contexts — treat them as formal documentation.
