You buried a lot of great analysis in your white paper that is hard to find! The comparison to NOAA Atlas 14 really shows what to expect with this dataset and how to better use it.

My guess is that potential customers who know how to use this data with their flood model also know how to derive this data from the sources. You may need to compute inundation maps for X year return periods in order to reach customers who need this information but don't know how to use flood models.

Really nice website and backend though! It's so fast even given the volume of data. Very impressive




Thanks. I'll have a think about how I can make those comparison plots easier to find.

Yep, inundation mapping would certainly be useful to a much wider number of people. I'll have to look into the existing competition and work out whether there's space in the market for another player.
