The PointSav platform produces and serves geospatial data in two primary forms: a location intelligence cluster dataset covering commercial co-location patterns across multiple countries, and a point-of-interest taxonomy that underlies the cluster algorithm. This article orients readers to those layers and links to the substantive methodology and archetype articles.

## Location intelligence clusters ## Location intelligence clusters
The cluster dataset groups commercial points of interest into three-tier co-location nodes — T1 (anchor), T2 (developed), T3 (emerging) — using a two-pass DBSCAN algorithm. Three archetypes describe distinct commercial patterns: PRO (professional retail co-location), VWH (vertical warehouse / urban industrial), and PKS (parking structures / transit-adjacent commercial).

## GIS tile pipeline ## GIS tile pipeline
Cluster data is compiled into PMTiles and served at `gis.woodfinegroup.com`. The pipeline runs nightly, producing updated archetype GeoJSON files and spatial tile layers. See the [[guide-catalog|Developer Guide Catalog]] for the nightly rebuild and AEC hazard pipeline guides. Cluster data is compiled into PMTiles and served at `gis.woodfinegroup.com`.
