Evidence, not assessment
Manifest describes what the data shows, anchored to a property, a date and a cited source. No scoring, no ratings, no interpretation. The evidence is yours to reason with.
Environmental evidence · Australia
Land data you can
anchor to a report.
Grounded Data creates structured, auditable environmental evidence artifacts for rural properties, derived from official Australian government sources. Built for the finance, ESG and assurance workflows now required under Australia's mandatory climate disclosure framework.
Reproducible and auditable
Every data layer cites its source, dataset version and retrieval date. Any analyst can trace exactly what was used, when and from where, making it audit-ready by design.
Built for regulatory time
Australia's mandatory climate disclosure framework is live from January 2025. Banks with agricultural loan portfolios are already required to report financed emissions.

Who it's for
Manifest is pulled by the institutions that need property-level environmental evidence, not pushed to farms.
Primary
Banks and agri-lenders
Reporting Scope 3 financed emissions under Australia's mandatory climate disclosure framework requires property-level land and vegetation data for agricultural loan portfolios.
Primary
ESG and assurance consultants
TNFD-aligned nature disclosure requires credible, traceable evidence of land use, vegetation cover and biodiversity context tied to specific properties.
Primary
Credit and agri-finance brokers
Intermediaries assembling agricultural loan documentation are increasingly required to provide structured, auditable environmental evidence as part of due diligence.
Early stage · Seeking pilot partners
Help shape how this gets built
Manifest is in active development. The methodology is defined, the data sources are identified and a working example exists. What we are looking for now are real workflows to test it against.
If you work in agri-lending, ESG assurance or environmental due diligence, a pilot means we run a Manifest for a real property in your portfolio, review the output together and refine what the artifact needs to contain to be genuinely useful in your context.
No cost to participate. The pilot is a structured conversation, not a sales process.
You bring a property and a workflow context. We bring the evidence artifact and an open ear.
Feedback from pilot partners shapes the final format, data layers and output structure.
No forms, no commitment. A conversation to understand if Manifest is relevant to your workflow.
Frequently asked questions
What is Manifest?
Manifest is a standardised environmental evidence artifact for Australian rural properties. It packages land use classification, NDVI vegetation cover analysis, regulated vegetation overlays, protected area proximity and climate context into a single auditable document anchored to a property boundary and a specific date. It is evidence, not an assessment or risk score.
Why do banks need property-level environmental evidence now?
Australia's mandatory climate disclosure legislation, effective January 2025, requires large entities including agri-lenders to report Scope 3 financed emissions. This means banks must understand the environmental profile of land used as loan collateral. The TNFD framework additionally requires nature-related risk disclosure tied to specific land parcels.
What data sources does Manifest use?
All sources are official Australian government or authoritative public datasets: QSpatial (cadastral boundaries), ABARES Land Use of Australia (land classification), Digital Earth Australia Landsat composites (NDVI vegetation), Queensland PMAV (regulated vegetation), CAPAD via DCCEEW (protected areas), and BOM and ABARES DroughtHub (climate context). Every source is cited with version and retrieval date.
Is Manifest a risk rating or compliance judgement?
No. Manifest is explicitly an evidence package, not an assessment. It contains no risk scores, ratings or regulatory interpretations. The analyst, lender or consultant brings their own judgement to the evidence. This distinction is intentional and fundamental to the product.
Is the product available now?
Manifest is in active development and we are running a small pilot program with interested teams in agri-lending and ESG assurance. If you would like to be involved, reach out via LinkedIn. Pilot participants help shape the format and data layers before the product is broadly available.
Regulatory context
Australia enacted mandatory climate disclosure legislation in 2024, effective January 2025. Large entities including agricultural lenders must now report Scope 3 financed emissions tied to their loan portfolios.
TNFD alignment
The Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures is becoming standard for nature risk reporting. Agriculture and land use are priority sectors. Property-level evidence is the foundation layer.
The gap Manifest fills
Environmental and land data exists across DEA, BOM, ABARES and QSpatial, but it is fragmented, inconsistently assembled and rarely auditable. Manifest standardises and cites it.
