The Report

Once an order finishes, you get an email with a direct link to the report. This page walks through what's in it, tab by tab.

The report itself is interactive: hover a cell on the map to highlight its row in the data table, switch display units, and toggle between an index view and lab values. Links are shareable with anyone — no account required (see Sharingbelow).

The header panel

Every tab shares the same header:

  • Field details: location, area in hectares, and the imagery date.
  • Analysis date slider: appears only if you ordered multiple dates — drag it and every tab updates to that date's data.
  • Cluster tabs: appear only if your field has spatially separate polygons, each with its own data and charts.
  • Display controls: toggle between Index mode (a 0–100 score per property) and Lab mode (actual concentrations — mg/kg, %, and so on). In Lab mode you can also flip between mg/kg and ppm for P and K.

Overview tab

A field-level summary, built from:

  • Headline cards for median Nitrogen, median Soil Organic Matter, and median pH across the whole field.
  • A soil-texture pie chart showing the average Sand/Silt/Clay split plus the USDA texture class name (e.g. "Clay Loam", "Sandy Loam").
  • Distribution charts for N, P, K, pH, and SOM, showing how many cells fall into the Very Low through Very High bands, colour-coded blue (low) through green (good) to red (high).

This is the right tab to start on — it tells you in one screen whether the field is broadly healthy or has issues worth digging into.

Results tab

The detailed view, built around a per-cell data table with one row per Voronoi cell — each representing a small area of the field with its own values for every property.

Index mode scores each value 0–100 with a label (Very Low through Very High); Lab mode shows the actual chemical readings (P in mg/kg, pH on the 0–14 scale, SOM as a percentage, and so on). Hovering a row highlights the matching area on the map, and cells with extreme values are colour-tinted so problem areas are obvious at a glance. For what each property means and how the bands are defined, see Soil properties.

AI Insights tab

A written interpretation of the field, generated from your data: five short sections covering field summary, strengths, limiting factors, management opportunities, and the physical (texture) profile. This tab only shows up if you bought the AI Insights add-on at order time — see AI Insights for what's in it.

Weather tab

A snapshot of weather conditions around the analysis date, available for single-cluster fields on recent orders.

Vegetation Indexes tab

If the same field also has an active Vegetation Index Monitoring subscription, this tab links across to that dashboard — soil chemistry and crop response in one place.

Switching units and display modes

The header toggle flips between three views:

  • Index mode: a 0–100 score, easy to scan, good for non-specialist audiences.
  • Lab mode (mg/kg): the standard SI-style unit used across most of Europe.
  • Lab mode (ppm): numerically identical to mg/kg, but the convention in some markets.

Bulgarian accounts can also display certain recommendations and values in kg/dka instead of kg/ha.

Sharing the report

Every report carries a shareable access code in its URL — anyone with the link can view it read-only, no account needed, which makes it easy to send to an agronomist, partner, or buyer. Link expiry depends on account type:

  • Registered accounts: 7 days from order completion.
  • Guest orders: 365 days.
  • Partner orders: 365 days.

If a link expires, sign in to your orders portal to get back into the original report.

Exporting the data

Every report can be exported as PDF, CSV, or shapefile — seeExports for the full breakdown of each format.

When something fails

If a specific date fails — unbroken cloud cover across the 8-month window, for example — the report still loads, but that date shows an error message instead of values. Other dates in the same order are unaffected, and there's no automatic retry: contact support if a failed date needs reprocessing.
