GeoPockets
Decisions, Made Spatial.
GeoPockets is a spatial intelligence studio that works with organizations responsible for complex land, infrastructure, and policy decisions.
We support high-stakes community, public and private property decisions. We work directly with teams to bring structure to messy problems—combining geospatial systems, stakeholder input, and operational workflows into clear, actionable outcomes.
We take on a limited number of engagements each quarter and operate as an embedded partner, a project lead, or an extension of your existing team.

WE DESIGN AND DEPLOY DECISION SYSTEMS
What This Looks Like in Practice
Each engagement focuses on turning fragmented land data, policy constraints, and stakeholder input into a working operational workflow.
We work directly with organizations to evaluate land, reduce risk, and deploy parcel-level decision systems—across policy, infrastructure, and real estate.
We help organizations:
- integrate GIS with existing systems
- structure spatial data pipelines
- build decision-support dashboards
- deploy operational workflows
Typical engagements include:
- stakeholder engagement & facilitation
- data integration & spatial analysis
- workflow design
- delivering focused project-based outcomes
Applied Workflows
- Site-characterization, comparison, and selection
- Architectural review and entitlement systems
- Location selection for direct mail
- Flood, wildfire and habitat mitigation policy enforcement and compliance
- Parcel due-diligence and acquisition screening
- Real estate purchases, negotiations and optimization
- Environmental and infrastructure constraint analysis
- Multi-agency coordination systems
- Report writing automation for budget defense and decision support
- Field-work data collection
Core Capabilities
Decision System Architecture
Design end-to-end systems connecting data, policy, workflows, and reporting into a single operational environment.
Policy-to-Workflow Translation
Convert regulations, CC&Rs, and building codes into structured, enforceable systems.
Parcel Intelligence Systems
Enable parcel-level evaluation across ownership, zoning, environmental, and infrastructure dimensions.
Risk & Compliance Systems
Track, verify, and report compliance across wildfire, land use, and infrastructure requirements.

Park Guard and STOW IT
“Their spatial analysis helped us map trail conditions and visitor impact with a level of precision we hadn't seen before. The team translated complex geodata into clear, actionable insights for our on-the-ground work.”
David Bezanson
The Nature Conservancy
“GeoPockets brought a caliber of geospatial rigor that matched TNC's conservation science standards. Their consultants understood both the data and the mission from day one.”
Brandi Clark Burton
EcoNetworking
“They connected ecological datasets we didn't know could talk to each other and built an analysis that immediately informed our network strategy. Rare to find a team this fluent in both GIS and stakeholder communication.”
Frank Davis
Hill Country Conservancy
“Their land suitability models gave us the spatial clarity we needed to prioritize acquisitions across a complex, fragmented landscape. The analysis was thorough, defensible, and delivered on time.”
Jennifer Roberts
Army Corp of Engineers
“GeoPockets delivered engineering-grade spatial analysis while keeping it accessible to non-technical stakeholders. Their work held up to our review process and meaningfully advanced the project.”
Massey Brooks
SMASH Designs
“They bridged the gap between design intent and geographic reality in a way few consultants can. Our deliverables were stronger because of the spatial layer they brought to the process.”
Peter McGinty
Telluride Services
“Their corridor analysis was exactly what we needed to make the case for our service expansion. GeoPockets combined local spatial knowledge with professional-grade modeling to back every recommendation.”
