About

Spatial Proof

Features
Read full description

Spatial Proof is a simple app built to capture real evidence of activities happening in the exact place and moment they occur. It supports social, environmental, and agricultural projects by reducing fraud and uncertainty, offering trustworthy field evidence that anyone can verify through a shared link. Many organizations still rely on photos, copied coordinates, messages, or manually written reports. This creates room for errors, manipulation, and activities that may not have actually been completed. Spatial Proof was designed to address this problem in a practical and accessible way, using only the mobile device already in someone’s hand. What the app does • Records location (GPS) combined with device sensors • Captures the exact timestamp at the moment of recording • Detects basic fraud signals such as root, emulator, or device tampering • Works offline, syncing once the connection returns • Generates a verifiable link that can be audited by anyone Why this matters Most digital systems confirm identity, not activity. Spatial Proof adds a straightforward layer of trust between what was claimed and what actually happened on-site. It is not meant to replace audits, but to make field verification simpler, faster, and clearer. Use cases • Social project visits and community monitoring • Carbon and climate activities (MRV) • Smallholder and regenerative agriculture • Supply chain origin verification • Inspections, compliance checks, and general field audits Integration with existing systems Teams and developers can integrate the collected evidence into their own systems through an API, connecting field activity directly into existing workflows or management tools. Spatial Proof has one clear goal: to offer an honest and accessible way to prove that something happened — where and when it was recorded — without adding complexity for people working in the field.
