Gap Ledger

This is the honest roadmap: what exists publicly today vs what requires ministry partnerships, governance approvals, or digitization. It turns "missing data" into a fundable and actionable plan.

Gaps

Filter by domain:
Filter by status:
Showing 10 of 10 gaps
National daily station observations (rainfall, temp, wind)
MetP0Partner-neededShared/Private
Owner: Solomon Islands Meteorological Service (MECDM)
Unlocks: High-confidence extremes/trends; validation of gridded datasets; climate services
Integration: Secure API or file drop (daily ingest), then versioned time-series store
Next action: MoU + data license; agree station list + metadata + QC flags

Metadata-only gap records are not verified conclusions. You must submit and complete a run to generate evidence-backed results.

Disaster loss & damage database (events → impacts)
DRMP0Partner-neededShared/Private
Owner: National Disaster Management Office (NDMO)
Unlocks: Event attribution, risk profiles, recovery finance justification
Integration: DB replication or periodic exports; standard event taxonomy
Next action: Define event schema + minimal fields; map to hazard tools

Metadata-only gap records are not verified conclusions. You must submit and complete a run to generate evidence-backed results.

High-frequency tide gauge / coastal water level observations
CoastalP1Partner-neededShared
Owner: MECDM / Ports / partner research programs
Unlocks: Storm surge analysis; coastal early warning; sea-level extremes
Integration: Streaming or hourly files; QC pipeline; anomaly detection
Next action: Identify authoritative station(s) + sampling interval + licensing

Metadata-only gap records are not verified conclusions. You must submit and complete a run to generate evidence-backed results.

Critical infrastructure asset register (roads, power, water, telecom)
InfrastructureP0RestrictedPrivate
Owner: Multiple ministries / utilities
Unlocks: Exposure/risk overlays; prioritization of adaptation investments
Integration: Private geodatabase with RBAC; export controls; audit logs
Next action: Define minimum geospatial fields + access policy + redaction rules

Metadata-only gap records are not verified conclusions. You must submit and complete a run to generate evidence-backed results.

Health surveillance indicators (dengue, diarrhea, heat-related illness)
HealthP2RestrictedPrivate
Owner: Ministry of Health
Unlocks: Climate-health early warning; targeted interventions
Integration: Aggregated indicators only; strict access controls; differential privacy where needed
Next action: Agree aggregation level (province/ward) + suppression thresholds

Metadata-only gap records are not verified conclusions. You must submit and complete a run to generate evidence-backed results.

Crop yield & planting calendars by region; ag extension data
AgricultureP1Partner-neededShared
Owner: Ministry of Agriculture
Unlocks: Food security risk; drought response planning
Integration: Periodic CSV exports; harmonize crop taxonomy
Next action: Pick 3 priority crops; define baseline years and geographies

Metadata-only gap records are not verified conclusions. You must submit and complete a run to generate evidence-backed results.

River gauges / flow observations and flood stage records
HydrologyP1Partner-neededShared
Owner: Water / Infrastructure agencies
Unlocks: Flood risk modeling; basin-scale planning
Integration: Time-series ingest; station metadata + rating curves (if available)
Next action: Inventory gauges + data formats; validate ownership

Metadata-only gap records are not verified conclusions. You must submit and complete a run to generate evidence-backed results.

High-resolution coastal elevation (LiDAR) and bathymetry
CoastalP1Partner-neededShared/Private
Owner: Survey / research partners
Unlocks: Inundation modeling; relocation planning; coastal defense design
Integration: Raster asset catalog (STAC); tiling; heavy compute workflows
Next action: Identify available surveys; define distribution constraints

Metadata-only gap records are not verified conclusions. You must submit and complete a run to generate evidence-backed results.

Authoritative gazetteer + stable place IDs (wards/villages)
GovernanceP0Partner-neededShared
Owner: Statistics / Survey agencies
Unlocks: Reliable cross-dataset joins; avoids name-matching chaos
Integration: Reference table + API; versioned updates
Next action: Agree ID scheme; mapping to admin boundaries

Metadata-only gap records are not verified conclusions. You must submit and complete a run to generate evidence-backed results.

Community vulnerability & relocation intentions (survey-based)
CommunityP2RestrictedPrivate
Owner: NGOs / research / local gov
Unlocks: Human-centered adaptation planning; targeted funding
Integration: Derived, aggregated indices only; consent + ethics protocol
Next action: Define ethics + CARE principles + consent storage

Metadata-only gap records are not verified conclusions. You must submit and complete a run to generate evidence-backed results.

How we unlock these

  1. Governance first: classify datasets as Public/Shared/Private and define export rules before ingestion.
  2. Start with derived products: for restricted data, expose aggregated indicators (province/ward) before raw layers.
  3. Standard IDs: adopt a stable gazetteer/place-ID spine to connect datasets safely.
  4. Receipts everywhere: every output is reproducible (sources, timestamps, transforms).
  5. Fundable roadmap: each gap maps to a concrete ministry outcome (EWS, exposure, adaptation prioritization).
Demo posture: Public-only.
Phase 2+ posture: Shared/Private controls (RBAC, audit logs, export restrictions).
