3. Document each layer
Record where each layer came from, what area it covers, and why it matters.
4. Interpret relationships
Record overlap, proximity, conflict, opportunity, or a data gap. Do not imply causation without evidence.
5. Choose a practical response
6. Quality control and export
- Needs work | Decision and study area are defined
- Needs work | Slope classes are confirmed and nonoverlapping
- Needs work | Every included layer has a source and relevance
- Needs work | Coverage and limitations are recorded
- Needs work | At least one mapped relationship is interpreted
- Needs work | More than one response was considered
- Needs work | Recommendation and verification need are visible
Begin with the decision. A layer belongs only when it helps answer the question.
