Data Sources

A 10xPlot report may bring together several kinds of evidence that were created for different purposes and at different geographic scales.

• Your Lag Thram or coordinate record.
• Administrative and reference boundaries.
• Agriculture production and activity statistics.
• Soil, water, terrain, elevation and sunlight indicators.
• Nature and biodiversity monitoring evidence.
• Market records and related product evidence.
• Commercial and open map imagery.

The report should be read together with its source year, matched geography, unit and any warning shown beside the result.

The initial parcel is created from the coordinates, table, image or other land information supplied by the user. Automated extraction can make mistakes, especially where a scan is faint, rotated, incomplete or uses an unfamiliar format.

10xPlot uses selected government datasets available through Bhutan NSDI. These include administrative boundaries and mapped information on water, irrigation and soil.

Where available, 10xPlot shows the organisation and dataset behind the information used in the report.

Local production context may use the Integrated Agriculture and Livestock Census of Bhutan 2025 (IALC 2025), released by the National Statistics Bureau.

10xPlot summarises the census at the available local administrative level, such as Chiwog, Gewog or Dzongkhag. Customer reports do not display individual household responses.

These statistics describe recorded agricultural activity in an area and do not prove what is currently produced on a particular parcel.

Depending on coverage, reports may use mapped information on soil, water, irrigation, administrative areas and terrain.

Terrain values such as elevation and slope are calculated from elevation data. Use the resolution, confidence and verification note shown with the terrain result.

Nature & Landscape may also use mapped protected areas, biological corridors, trekking routes and religious or cultural places where those layers are available in the report.

Market Opportunity may use historical Kaja Throm or Centenary Farmers' Market records and related public market information, where available.

10xPlot preserves the unit recorded by the source wherever a safe conversion cannot be established. An exact product match is shown separately from a related product or a product with no source record.

• Exact: the activity was matched to the same source product.
• Related: supporting context from a different but related product.
• No record: no defensible market match was found in the selected source.

Historical market evidence is not a promise of a future price, buyer, yield or profit.

Interactive maps may use Mapbox technology together with OpenStreetMap data and commercial satellite imagery such as Maxar, depending on the selected basemap and coverage.

Required map attribution is displayed directly on the map. Imagery dates and positional accuracy vary and buildings, roads or land use may have changed since capture.

• Check whether the result is parcel-level, grid-level, Chiwog, Gewog or Dzongkhag context.
• Check the source year and recorded unit.
• Read warnings for approximate or related matches.
• Verify important decisions using official records and site-based professional work.

A result can be useful for screening and comparison even when it is not suitable for legal, financial or engineering reliance.

10xPlot credits the organisations that publish the source datasets. Their inclusion does not mean those organisations have reviewed, certified or endorsed 10xPlot or an individual report.

10xPlot is independent of the National Land Commission Secretariat, Bhutan NSDI, National Statistics Bureau and other Royal Government of Bhutan agencies.
