Place intelligence for
property decisions.

Before a property is a price, it’s a place. TerraSignal is the decision layer that sits between the two — a ten-folio report that tells you what a neighbourhood actually is, who lives there, how it moves, and where it’s going, grounded in the authoritative public data of the region it covers.

We publish these reports for the people who advise on, invest in, and underwrite real estate decisions — agents, brokerages, family offices, and institutional buyers. Every report is computed at neighbourhood resolution and delivered as a finished PDF: the document you hand a client, not a dashboard they’ll never open.

TerraSignal is a geospatial analytics product by Ovelha Negra. We currently publish across Windsor-Essex, Toronto GTA, the Algarve, and Lagos. More regions open as professionals in them ask.

02 · The Report

Every address gets ten folios. Every page cites its source.

Not a dashboard. Not a map pin. A finished, exportable PDF your clients can keep — a cover, a table of contents, five analytical pages, a methodology note, a closing analyst’s read that pulls the findings into a plain-language narrative, and a disclosures folio. Designed the way a geographer would build it, delivered the way a product ships.

Folio 02 · Page 1

Overview & Demand

Population, building density, demand index, buyer-origin breakdown, underserved zones, strategic recommendations.

Folio 03 · Page 2

Demographics & Housing

Median income, owner/renter split, dwelling mix, age structure, housing stock age, commute profile.

Folio 04 · Page 3

Livability & Environment

Tree canopy, parks, walkability, green-space coverage. Satellite-grounded where available; honest where not.

Folio 05 · Page 4

Cover, Contents, Methodology, Disclosures

The editorial frame: a numbered cover with district and tier, a contents folio, a methodology note on spatial data and scoring, and a disclosures page for professional sharing.

03 · Where we are

Four regions live.
Each built on its own data stack.

Every region is a separate pipeline, grounded in that market's authoritative sources. We don't pretend one global dataset works everywhere — because it doesn't.

Inside Platinum · engagement examples

What a Platinum engagement looks like in practice.

Platinum is shaped to the client. Below are three patterns we’ve structured before — brokerage white-label, institutional licensing, and regional partnerships — to give you a sense of what’s possible. Pricing and terms are bespoke to the engagement.

Brokerage white-label
Your brand, our engine

Your own subdomain (e.g. reports.yourbrokerage.com), fully co-branded reports, brokerage-wide usage analytics, priority onboarding for your agents, training sessions.

  • Custom subdomain + full co-brand
  • Brokerage usage analytics
  • Onboarding & training sessions
Regional partnerships
Open a new market together

For established brokers or market specialists bringing TerraSignal into a new city or country. Revenue-share structure, local data validation role, regional co-branding. Currently active in Lagos.

  • Territory exclusivity available
  • Partner validates local data inputs
  • Case-by-case terms

Pricing reflects data accessibility per market. Markets with rich open data carry standard pricing; markets where TerraSignal validates partner-sourced fields (security, power reliability, flood risk) reflect the operational depth required.

Honest pricing. First page of every report is free — you see the quality before you pay. Switch currency above; alternative billing available on Gold and Platinum engagements. Questions? eric@terrasignal.ca.
