We’ve released a major update to Visual Inspection in Verify, making it the go-to preliminary triage tool for DEF and DCF risk mitigation workflows across 41 origins.
The update improves imagery quality, expands historical coverage, and streamlines investigation workflows before deeper analysis.
What’s new
PlanetScope imagery for tropical origin plots
Visual Inspection now supports PlanetScope imagery for tropical origin plots, providing access to imagery that’s approximately 3x sharper than Sentinel-2 (3.7m vs 10m resolution).
This added detail helps teams more clearly distinguish individual tree canopies, spot recent clearing edges and confirm plot boundaries during visual analysis and determination workflows.
This improvement gives teams significantly sharper imagery for visual analysis and determination workflows.
Extended Sentinel-2 timeline to 2015
We’ve extended the Sentinel-2 historical timeline from 2018 back to 2015, to support companies with DCF policy cut-off dates set to 2015 or later.
This expands coverage for long-term land-use analysis and helps teams validate compliance commitments across a broader range of sourcing programs inside Verify.
Visual Inspection is now always accessible
Visual Inspection is now available directly from any farm plot inside the Query Builder Map View.
This creates a more streamlined workflow and makes imagery analysis easier to access across operational teams.
Why it matters
Visual Inspection is now a faster, more reliable preliminary triage step before deeper investigation workflows inside Verify. Teams can more quickly assess tropical sourcing plots, confirm plot boundaries, identify recent clearing activity, and determine whether further review is needed.
Higher-resolution imagery improves visual analysis in tropical sourcing regions, while the extended 2015 Sentinel-2 timeline supports DCF workflows tied to 2015-or-later policy cut-off dates.
Combined with simplified access through the Query Builder Map View, teams can move through imagery review workflows more consistently and efficiently inside Verify.
