Planning tools split the job in half: the map lives in one program and the plan lives in another, and a human carries everything between them. This project puts the analysis on the map itself, the way a planning staff works at a real table.
The audience keeps the work honest: military trainers, tactical teams, search-and-rescue coordinators, and serious simulation designers — people who know what terrain analysis is supposed to contain and will spot unsound output immediately. A tool for them cannot bluff.
The planner works on an interactive satellite map. Specialist agents each own a stage of the staff process — one reads terrain, one assesses threats, one develops courses of action, one drafts the order — and each renders structured output onto the map rather than into a chat window.
It runs locally, on the planner's own machine. Nothing about a training scenario or an operation leaves the room.
