Collection & interpretation
Good decisions need clear context.
Agree what will be observed, how it will be reviewed and what the resulting information can support.
1. Agree the decision and scope
Identify the routes or places, the people who use them and the questions the project should inform. Define the attributes and expected outputs before collection.
2. Collect on the ground
Access Cart and phone-based collection capture route information and imagery. Collection coverage and attributes are specific to the agreed project.
3. Review observations
Agree the review method, responsibilities and handling of incomplete or ambiguous observations. Assisted analysis should be checked using appropriate evidence before it informs a conclusion.
4. Report with limitations
Describe coverage, collection dates, definitions and uncertainties alongside findings. Maps and datasets describe observations rather than guaranteeing route suitability for every person.
Mapping and compliance
Accessibility mapping is not automatically a legal compliance audit. Any assessment against a standard needs an explicit scope, method and qualified interpretation.
