10xPlot
From Lag Thram to land intelligence
Evidence and methodology

Data Sources

Where 10xPlot land intelligence comes from, how different datasets are matched to a parcel and what each result can—and cannot—tell you.

Last updated 31 July 2026
At a glance
The parcel boundary begins with the record or coordinates you provide. 10xPlot then adds contextual evidence from attributed spatial, statistical, environmental, market and map sources. These contextual layers do not change the legal boundary or ownership recorded by the competent authority.
01

How 10xPlot combines data

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.
  • 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.

02

Lag Thram and parcel data

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.

Review before use
Users must review the detected boundary points. The official Lag Thram, cadastral records and verification by the National Land Commission Secretariat or a qualified surveyor remain authoritative.
03

Bhutan NSDI and National Land Commission data

10xPlot uses selected geospatial datasets accessed through the Bhutan National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI). The platform brings together datasets published and maintained by Bhutanese government member agencies.

Administrative reference layers may include Dzongkhag, Gewog and Chiwog boundaries published through NSDI, including layers associated with the National Land Commission Secretariat.

Chiwog matching is indicative
Some Chiwog boundary metadata identifies the layer as unverified and unsuitable for legal or official reliance. 10xPlot uses such boundaries only to attach broad local context—not to determine a legal parcel boundary.

Dataset ownership, category, licence and limitations remain those stated by the original publisher in the NSDI metadata.

04

Integrated Agriculture and Livestock Census

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

10xPlot converts source records into aggregated indicators at the available administrative level, such as Chiwog, Gewog or Dzongkhag. Customer-facing reports do not present source household responses as individual household records.

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

05

Soil, water and terrain context

Depending on coverage, reports may use thematic layers for soil pH, soil organic carbon, soil texture, irrigation, water sources, administrative geography and elevation or terrain.

Some layers are accessed through Bhutan NSDI and are published by the responsible member agency. Other terrain calculations may be derived from elevation data.

Not a site test
A mapped soil or water class is an area-level indication. It does not replace soil sampling, water-right verification, engineering investigation or an on-site assessment.
06

Market evidence

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.

07

Maps and imagery

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.

08

How to interpret a result

  • 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.

09

Attribution and independence

10xPlot acknowledges the original organisations and data providers. Use of a public or licensed dataset does not mean that the publisher has reviewed, certified or endorsed 10xPlot or any individual report.

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