Hunterizer
A location-based hunting product. It combines geographic boundaries, dates, species, and regulatory information so a person can see what may be legal to hunt at a particular place and time.
What was built
A product that can be asked a place-and-date question, including mobile applications and the data work that keeps boundaries and rules available to that question.
- Geospatial data, so a point can be read against a boundary
- Structured rules and regulatory information
- Queries by location and date
- Mobile applications
- Processing and maintenance of that data
The question the product asks
What the query combines
- Place A location read against geographic boundaries
- Date The day the question is about
- Species The animal named in the rule
What may be legal. The answer is only as broad as the rule that matches that place, date, and species.
Decision
The product asks for place, date, and species together. The answer is worded as what may be legal to hunt.
