Crime geography
OpenStreetMap basemap nationwide; proximity markers from `/api/map-pois` (OSM-derived).
Prototype · Australia-focused
Decide on a suburb with official data and clear context—not guesswork.
One payment unlocks a structured briefing that combines police-recorded offences, mapped infrastructure, and (where available) public community chatter—summarised so you can act confidently.
- OpenStreetMap basemap tiles work Australia-wide; amenity pins come from `/api/map-pois` (Overpass, cached).
- Australia search uses `/api/geocode-au` (Nominatim, cached)—respect polite rates; not a bulk geocoder SLA.
- Live Queensland offence rollups attach only inside the SEQ centroid heuristic routed to Brisbane North/South CSV via `/api/qld-crime`.
Report generator
Type any Australian postcode (e.g. 2000), suburb + state, or tap a preset chip. Realview geocodes the centroid, flies the map everywhere in Australia, and only swaps in live Queensland SEQ district CSV stats when our heuristic matches Brisbane North/South aggregates.

Area map · OpenStreetMap
Real basemap tiles. Markers queried live near the suburb centroid (police stations, schools, rail/transit stops). No synthetic “crime hotspots” overlaid unless you add geocoded incident data licensed for mapping.

Simple pricing
AUD $9.95 per briefing
Covers compilation, visuals, PDF packaging, and email delivery path. Taxes additional if applicable.
- Typical Stripe fee
- Approx. ~1.75% + $0.30 per successful charge · verify current pricing.
- Refund posture
- Implement a postcode coverage lookup before Checkout to minimise disputes.
Lean operations
Indicative monthly run costs
Targets a micro-SaaS where low fixed infra matters more than squeezing marginal latency. Figures are illustrative—revise quarterly.
Infrastructure
AUD $8–22
Entry unmanaged VPS · scale after consistent volume.
Maps APIs
Often $0
Credits may cover Places + Maps if traffic stays modest.
Open police data
AUD $0
Licence-checked extracts ingested nightly or weekly.
Community feeds
AUD $0–120+
Hosted scrapers/residential proxies spike costs—design graceful degradation first.
LLM parsing
< AUD $15
Lightweight models per report batches stay cheap versus revenue at $9.95 each.
Marginal breakeven
< 5 reports/mo*
*Assuming lean stack and minimal paid enrichment. Tune after real usage records.
Production pipeline
Official data sources & APIs
Realview merges OpenStreetMap, cached Nominatim search, and optional Queensland district CSV tiers into one briefing PDF layout. Honour every upstream licence and attribution line.
1. Queensland crime statistics (QPS / Open Data)
Monthly reported offence counts and rates by crime type and geographic area are published on the Queensland Open Data Portal. Use bulk CSV for a local warehouse, or the portal’s CKAN API for programmatic discovery and resource URLs.
- Queensland Open Data Portal — Public safety group (crime & related datasets)
-
CKAN API example —
package_search(JSON) Base pattern:https://www.data.qld.gov.au/api/3/action/· see CKAN API reference
QPS Online Crime Map (reference)
Use the official map to align product language with QPS offence groupings (e.g. Unlawful Entry, Property Damage, Assault)—not as a scrape target. Locations are approximate; read the map’s own limitations and disclaimers.
2. Live district stats on this prototype

GET /api/qld-crime?district=…

North Brisbane to northern corridors like Albany Creek) for CSV-backed

the origin budget.

3. Infrastructure enrichment options
This shipped demo already queries OpenStreetMap amenities through `/api/map-pois`. Optionally augment with Google Places, Apple Maps, HERE, etc., when commercial licensing allows.
Google Maps Platform — Places
Suitable for nearest police stations, rail stations, shopping centres, and other place types around a searched suburb or geocode—subject to Google’s terms and billing.
Queensland state schools (Open Data)
Official state school geographic products and related education datasets on the portal—use for authoritative coordinates and catchments instead of, or alongside, Google results.
Support & data integrity
Production version should disclose refresh cadence, licensing, and omit social module when upstream fails rather than silently degrading QA.
