The Origin
Ridgewatch is where the Lodemark methodology was born. A non-technical product lead directing two AI partners through complex geospatial engineering — proving the three-person team model works on production-grade software.
Full case study copy pending. This page will tell the story of how product judgment replaced engineering expertise as the bottleneck.
Technical Scope
- Seven government data source integrations
- Real-time geospatial data processing
- Map-first interface with clustering and filtering
- Colorado focus, national data architecture
- Next.js + Mapbox GL + custom data pipeline
Ridgewatch was built with the same methodology we teach in the Playbook.
