Core problem

Identifying Grey Belt land at national scale requires fine-grained classification of land use that is not captured in existing administrative datasets. Knight Frank needed a defensible, reproducible pipeline that could be rerun as imagery refreshed.

Business impact

Coordinated a 20-person research team to deliver a credible classification pipeline to a major property consultancy within a single challenge week — translating PhD-level methods into a stakeholder-ready output.
