EU Optikos · Platform Tour

A 30-45 minute experience that takes you from first login to generating cited intelligence on real EU regions. Open the links as you go: you'll see the product unfold in front of you.

Section 1

First Login

Sign in at /login with your email and password. After login you land on /map with three Start Here cards (Berlin, Hamburg, Madrid).

The left sidebar is the entire product, organised in five sections: Explore, Intelligence, Data, Workspace, Account. If you're an admin a Platform Admin section appears.

Section 2

The Map

Open

Choropleth across 40 European countries at NUTS-3 resolution. Click any region to slide in the intelligence panel. Toggle 3D extrusion (top-right) to see population density rise as height: Berlin's DE300 stands out immediately.

The indicator selector switches the colour scale across every dataset in the catalogue. Terrain mode gives you a globe view for cross- country context.

Section 3

Region Profiles

Open

Region profiles fuse five intelligence dimensions (Demographic, Economic, Social, Governance, Environmental/ Infrastructure) into one view. Trend arrows show the direction of each headline indicator.

The freshness chips tell you exactly when each upstream layer was last refreshed. The "Browse infrastructure" button opens a filterable POI list (universities, rail stations, power plants, admin buildings). "Compare with..." adds the region to a multi-region trend chart.

Every numeric value carries a [c1] citation. Hover a citation to see the exact source, dataset, period, and value behind that number.

Section 4

Intelligence Products

Open

Six products generate citation-grounded analyst output from the underlying data:

  • Briefings (/intelligence/briefings) · Profile Summary, Economic Outlook, Security Assessment, Region Report. Streams in real time. PDF export available.
  • Hazard & Exposure Assessments · four-factor composite with radar chart and event timeline. Institutional only.
  • Dashboards · multi-tile KPI layouts. Institutional only.
  • Event Digests · weekly conflict / cooperation / governance / opposition summary. Institutional only.
  • Workbooks · multi-region XLSX comparison. Institutional only.
  • Region Reports · long-form cited analysis. Institutional only.

What separates these from a generic LLM: every claim resolves to a specific row in location_indicators or an infrastructure POI or an event document. Click any [c1] citation and you get the receipt.

Section 5

Optikos AI

Open

The crown jewel. A conversational analyst wired to the same tools the briefings use. Open the floating button bottom- right of any page, or hit ⌘K / Ctrl+K.

Try (in order):

  1. "What is Berlin's latest population? Cite the source." · Watch the Search + Indicator time series tool cards stream in. Berlin's anchor: 3,662,381 (2024).
  2. "Compare Berlin and Hamburg demographics." · Bar chart renders inline in the tool card.
  3. "Show me infrastructure in DE300." · Notice the source label is "Optikos Infrastructure Layer": vendor names never reach the analyst.

Open the full page from the panel for a conversation history sidebar. Cost meter sits below each turn: admins see token + EUR breakdown; default users see citations + duration only.

Section 6

Data Layer

Open

Active datasets organised by Optikos intelligence layer (Statistical Foundation / Event Intelligence / Infrastructure / Border Intelligence / Humanitarian / Flood Hazard). Over 50 million cited observations.

Each dataset card shows the human-readable name, source layer, and observation count. Click into a dataset to see the dimension breakdown and a multi-region trend chart.

Section 7

Workspace

  • Saved Views · bookmark any region + indicator combination.
  • Watchlists · threshold rules with email alerts. Institutional only.
  • Notifications · toggle email + in-app + frequency per notification type.
Section 8

Account & Admin

Open
Section 9

Platform Admin (super_admin only)

  • /admin/system · pipeline freshness, platform counts, Authentik state.
  • /admin/organizations · every org with tier & seat info.
  • /admin/users · every user across every org.
  • /admin/tiers · tier matrix (Explorer / Professional / Institutional).
  • /admin/audit-log · cross-org activity log.
  • /admin/ai-usage · per-org AI costs, top tools, denial rates, abuse signals.
Section 10

Pricing & Sources

  • /pricing · three tiers: Explorer (free), Professional (€1,000/mo+), Institutional (custom).
  • /sources · legal-attribution surface listing every data layer with license terms, refresh frequency, and EU data residency posture (an EU data center in Germany).
Section 11

What Makes Optikos Different

  1. Every claim is cited. Click any [c1] token and see the receipt. No hallucination.
  2. Seven layers, fused. No spreadsheet stitching: region profiles, briefings, AI chat draw from the same NUTS-resolved view.
  3. AI products refuse when data is insufficient. Hazard & exposure assessments flag INSUFFICIENT_DATA per factor: never invent a number.
  4. EUR-only, EU data residency. Operator-controlled fx_rate config, hosted in an EU data center in Germany.
  5. Tier-aware UI. The product shows you what your plan includes and gates the rest with clear upgrade messaging.
