The acquisition problem
A listing is an advertisement.
An asking price and a description are a starting point. A useful opportunity case connects those claims to a possible use, its economic conditions and the evidence still needed.

Investigate
When you choose
Illustrative example.
02 / Investigation
Choose where to look deeper.
Investigate requests targeted research and available municipal source checks for a selected case. A possible parcel match remains a candidate until its identity and sale scope are confirmed.
03 / Site
Make the next question specific.
Separate a promising use from practical capacity. Record the planning, access, services and building-condition checks needed for the scheme you are considering.
04 / Economics
Show what has to work.
Save explicit development or commercial cash-flow scenarios. Compare costs, income and exit assumptions; missing inputs keep returns uncalculated and calculated results remain conditional.
Trust the trail
AI helps you investigate.
AI extracts quoted listing clues, while statistical models are tested against simpler benchmarks. A new dataset starts with the evidence it actually contains. History-dependent methods wait for enough observations.
Source-linked evidence
Original source responses and extracted claims are retained. Research references remain leads until checked.
Traceable screening
Each case records its proposed use, reason for attention and decisive unknown. Models must earn their place through evaluation.
Assumptions stay visible
Your scenario inputs stay private and versioned. An owner-entered assumption never verifies itself.
Uncertainty survives
Missing or conflicting evidence becomes a question to resolve. A listing disappearing does not establish a completed sale.
Who it is for
For the next serious decision.
Small-scale developers. Acquisition professionals. Investors who would rather find one good site than browse a hundred.

Frequently asked
Before you start.
Which markets does PlotSonar cover?
Collection covers Property24 residential and commercial sale and rental listings across the Western Cape. Source coverage and freshness are visible; external planning checks are requested when investigating a selected property.
What types of opportunities does it screen?
The workspace screens residential development, Main Street commercial investments and commercial redevelopment. Competing uses share one property history and retain their own evidence and scenarios.
Does AI decide whether a property is a good deal?
AI extracts reusable source features and supports statistical research. It does not establish development rights, actual income or investment profit. Detailed research starts when a user selects Investigate.
How often does PlotSonar search?
An administrator can schedule daily collection. The system retains observations and resumes unfinished work within its allowance. The workspace shows a review agenda; deeper investigations are manual.
Can a team share one seat?
Access is licensed per named user at R999 per month. Each user receives private credentials and their own scenarios, documents and decisions, while the team shares collected source evidence.
Does PlotSonar replace professional due diligence?
No. PlotSonar is an acquisition-screening product. It helps you decide where to spend attention and professional due-diligence budget; it does not replace legal, planning, engineering, valuation or financial advice.
