DBF (Digital Blue Foam) is AI city-planning software that turns your spatial data into ranked scenarios — for smart cities, masterplanning, and campus, data-centre and facility decisions. Every scenario is scored on the outcomes that matter — infrastructure, ROI, liveability — and traceable to source.
Every spatial decision gets challenged.
Where did the number come from?
Why this option? Not that one?
The plans signed today will be defended for decades.
Every unbacked answer becomes rework, delay, and a harder question next time.
The fastest movers aren't guessing — they reason over structured spatial memory and answer with an evidence chain.

The same reasoning layer, applied across the decisions cities, asset owners, and developers actually face. Each returns ranked scenarios with an evidence chain — never a single answer.


A fifteen-year growth plan commits billions before anyone can see where infrastructure strains first. Onthology reasons over your city's structured memory and returns ranked spatial scenarios for where growth can land, each resolved against infrastructure load and traceable to source — in minutes, not weeks.


Public capital is usually allocated by mandate and precedent, not by where it returns the most liveability. Onthology scores districts on spatial ROI and ranks them, each result resolved against the city's own data and traceable to source. Allocation becomes a ranked, evidence-backed decision a council can stand behind — in minutes, not weeks.


A density target is set, signed, and treated as the decision. But the same target delivered through different street and block configurations produces wildly different lived outcomes — in traffic, school access, and green space. Onthology generates ranked spatial scenarios for how to deliver it, each scored against those competing criteria and traceable to source — in minutes, not weeks.


Commercial investment concentrates where demand is already proven, which means the underserved catchment stays invisible and unbuilt. Onthology reasons over population, access, existing provision, and movement to surface those gaps, returning ranked scenarios for where new amenity is supportable, each traceable to source — in minutes, not weeks.


A site-capacity question usually comes back as a single yes or no — which hides the more useful answer. The real output is the set of layouts that actually clear every hard constraint: power, cooling, access, setbacks. Onthology returns ranked spatial scenarios that satisfy each constraint, every option traceable to source — in minutes, not weeks.


Power and process load are usually checked late, treated as engineering inputs after the layout is sketched. But on an EV or battery plant they're the constraint that decides the entire footprint — checked late, they force expensive rework. Onthology treats power and process load as primary spatial constraints from the start, returning ranked scenarios that carry the load, each traceable to source — in minutes, not weeks.


A hospital's department layout is usually settled as an architectural decision, then lived with operationally for decades — paid for in every extra step staff and patients take, every shift. Onthology treats layout as the operational decision it is, generating ranked scenarios that cut travel distance while holding every clinical adjacency rule, each option traceable to source — in minutes, not weeks.


The buildable envelope gets estimated as floor-area ratio times site area, then trimmed by hand for setback and shadow rules — and the by-hand answer is always conservative, leaving units on the table. Hikari solves FAR, setback, and shadow regulation against each other at once, returning ranked scenarios for how many units actually fit, each traceable to the regulation behind it — in minutes, not weeks.
DBF pairs scenario generation with spatial analytics: it generates and ranks scenarios, then scores each one against your hard constraints and the outcomes that matter. Every step is traceable. The answer arrives with its reasoning attached — ready for approval, governance, and capital. Minutes, not weeks.
DBF doesn't guess at your city or asset. It reasons over a structured memory of the real one — and every answer carries its evidence.
Every parcel, rule, metric, and relationship is encoded once as a queryable model — not loose documents. Competitors start from a blank prompt. DBF starts from your full context.
Answers are generated from explicit parcels, rules, geometries, and relationships — not language-model guesswork. That removes hallucination and makes every recommendation defensible.
Each recommendation traces back to where it came from — fit for approvals, governance, and capital.
Most spatial tools optimise for what's easy to count — floor area, yield, cost. DBF reasons across those too, but it doesn't stop there. It asks the same question of a neighbourhood and of a single building: does this place work for the people in it? Zoom all the way out, or all the way in — it's the same engine, scoring the same human outcomes.
One engine, scored end to end — from the hard numbers every decision counts, to the human outcomes most tools ignore. Proven across cities, data centres, plants and hospitals.
A single spatial reasoning engine, delivered three ways — from full-stack enterprise deployment to a self-serve planner.
Whatever the surface, every answer is a ranked scenario traceable to source.
Full-stack custom deployment for cities, governments, large asset owners, and facility operators. Your proprietary data, the complete platform — encoding your spatial memory and scoring every scenario against the outcomes that matter. In paid production with Dubai Municipality, MODON, Jacobs and more.
