Launch offer · First ten sites

# Plan your peat depth survey *before* anyone walks the site.

Plan your peat depth survey and peat probing before anyone walks the site. The Vireo Neural Map reads your site against the land around it and everything it has learned from measured ground. Send one boundary, one decision question and up to ten files. You get a decision summary, evidence maps on one grid, and a plan for where to probe or survey first, with every figure sourced.

**£3,600 a site**Standard price £9,600, excluding VAT

**Ten launch places**Site confirmed before you order

**Plus £3,600 credit**towards a Site Assessment (£25,000), valid 12 months

Every enquiry is reviewed by the Vireo team. We reply within two working days.

![Five evidence layers from one site stacked on one grid: water held, ground motion, surface change, condition and peat depth, with one cell read through every layer](https://www.vireonature.com/hs-fs/hubfs/pp_hero_stack2.jpg?width=1800&height=1480&name=pp_hero_stack2.jpg)

Water held · Ground motion · Surface change · Condition · Peat depth. One cell read through every layer.

One site, every layer

## Peat depth survey planning: peat, habitat, water and ground motion on one 50 m grid.

Your records and the public evidence for your ground are placed on one grid, so every layer answers the same question at the same place. These are real outputs from one upland site, location removed.

- 4
  
  **Signals on one 50 m grid**Depth with a band, surface change from LiDAR, ground motion from radar, water held in the terrain.
- 3
  
  **Ways to read condition**Working classes at 1 m, a satellite read at 10 m, and one harmonised score, side by side, with the cells where they disagree.
- 1
  
  **Plan for where to look next**The cells to check first, and a probe or survey plan with its expected gain stated in advance.

Why this matters

Before anyone goes to site, someone has to decide where to focus. The records exist: probes in a spreadsheet, a habitat survey in a PDF, a boundary in a GIS file. The pack reads them together and answers the question.

Decision summary

### What the evidence supports, and where to firm it up

Main findings, the key uncertainties, and the recommended next step, written for the person who has to sign off the budget.

Site evidence maps

### Every layer on the same grid

Peat and soil, terrain and wetness, satellite condition, surface change and ground motion, water and catchment context, read on one 10 m grid, 1 m where LiDAR is held.

Your records, in context

### What you supplied, how it was used

Each file checked for format, coverage, date, licence and relevance, then placed on the same grid as the public sources. Not an attachment at the back.

Evidence register

### Source, date, licence, limitation

Every figure carries where it came from, when, under what licence and with what evidence tier, so it can be explained to colleagues, clients, funders or regulators.

Survey-priority plan

### Where to look next, in order

The cells where the reads disagree, the gaps in your records, and a walkable plan for probing, monitoring or assessment, with the expected gain stated before anyone walks it.

Handover call

### Thirty minutes on the findings

One factual-correction round and one call to walk through the pack and agree the next step.

What a site check looks like

## Your site, read by the Vireo Neural Map.

Habitat for a biodiversity baseline, the catchment above an intake, a working quarry read from orbit, stream sites against their neighbours, fire across a county. Different sites, different questions, one method. Your pack carries the layers that matter for your decision.

![Habitat mosaic across a lowland site: grassland, woodland, scrub and wetland classes](https://www.vireonature.com/hs-fs/hubfs/pp_g_habitat2.jpg?width=1000&height=1000&name=pp_g_habitat2.jpg)

**Habitat, for a biodiversity baseline**Habitat classes read from satellite and LiDAR across a lowland mosaic. The starting point for a BNG baseline.

**A working quarry, read from orbit**268 radar points over a 400 ha site, vertical motion 2020 to 2024, with the boundary and recorded heritage on the same grid.

**The catchment above a site**Every river link upstream, the path to the sea, and the chemistry and biology sites the read draws on.

![Where to probe first in a peat depth survey: an upland site on 1 m terrain with the cells where two condition reads disagree highlighted](https://www.vireonature.com/hs-fs/hubfs/pp_g_differ.jpg?width=1000&height=1000&name=pp_g_differ.jpg)

**Where the reads differ**One upland site check three ways. The 1,252 cells where the reads disagree are where a survey earns most. That is the plan.

How it works

## Send a boundary and your records. Get back a pack and a plan.

1. ### Send a boundary and your decision
   
   One boundary, the decision you need to make, and a note of the records you hold. We confirm the site fits before you order.
2. ### We read your records with the public evidence
   
   Up to ten of your files and the public evidence for that ground, placed on one grid and read together.
3. ### Pack in your hands
   
   The pack, one factual-correction round and a 30-minute handover call on the findings and the next step.

Who it is for

### Estates and land agents

Deciding whether a site warrants further assessment before spending on it.

### Environmental consultancies

Targeting fieldwork and briefing clients with a record that can be checked.

### Energy and infrastructure developers

Peat, habitat, water and ground motion on a route or site, before the environmental statement.

Launch offer

## Ten sites at the launch price.

The pack supports, and does not replace, intrusive peat survey and peat landslide hazard assessment carried out to current national guidance.

£3,600£9,600Per qualifying site

Excluding VAT where applicable. The standard Site Evidence Pack price is £9,600 a site. The first three launch sites are delivered and reviewed before the remaining seven places open.

You pay £3,600 for the pack. You also receive a £3,600 credit towards a Vireo Site Assessment (£25,000), the calibrated read with sealed checks on your own probes, valid for 12 months from delivery of the pack.

[Check my site](https://www.vireonature.com/pre-survey-pack#get)

**One site, one question**Give us one boundary and the decision it serves. The whole pack is built around that question. Several sites are quoted together.

**Your data stays yours**Your files are used for your assessment only. Contributing them to research is your choice, under a separate agreement, and earns £500 credit.

**We confirm your site first**We check geography, coverage and size before you order, and tell you plainly whether it fits.

Questions

What is included in the £3,600?

One site, one agreed decision question, up to ten of your files read in, the relevant public environmental evidence, the Site Evidence Pack (decision summary, site evidence maps, your records in context, evidence register, survey-priority plan), one factual-correction round and a 30-minute handover call.

What records can I send?

Peat-probe or soil-survey results, habitat, vegetation or ecology records, water-table or monitoring data, restoration or works records, GIS layers and boundaries, and relevant planning, environmental or feasibility documents.

Does it have to be peatland?

No. The Neural Map reads peat, soil, terrain, water, habitat condition and ground motion on one grid. The pack carries the layers that matter for your site and your question. Peat depth appears where there is peat.

Will Vireo use my data to improve its models?

Only if you choose to. Your data is used for your own assessment. Contributing it to Vireo research is a separate agreement you can sign or not, and earns £500 credit against a future engagement.

What happens if my files are untidy?

We check the files before confirming the order. Untidy or very large file sets are quoted separately, so you know before you order.

How does the pack fit with a field survey?

It comes first. The pack shows where fieldwork pays and what to ask of it, so it becomes your survey brief. When your probes return, a Site Assessment reads them in and the figures firm up.

What is the Site Assessment credit?

Every launch customer receives a £3,600 credit towards a Vireo Site Assessment (£25,000), on top of the £6,000 saving on the pack. The credit is valid for 12 months from delivery of your pack, under the pilot agreement.

How long does delivery take?

We agree your delivery date once the site is confirmed and we have seen your records. Launch sites are delivered one at a time, so each gets full attention.

How do I plan a peat depth survey?

Scottish guidance expects a grid of about 100 m across the whole site, then a 10 m grid at every turbine base and probes every 10 to 50 m along tracks. The pack shows where probing pays first, so the survey starts with a plan. [Read the peat survey guidance](https://www.vireonature.com/insights/peat-survey-guidance-scotland).

Prices exclude VAT where applicable. Example outputs are from one anonymised upland site and show the format of your pack.
