GeoIntel Style Guide

Visual direction

GeoIntel should feel like a modern engineering workbench, not old desktop GIS software.

• Roads: neutral gray.
• Water: blue.
• Vegetation: green.
• Detection boxes: yellow/orange.
• False positives: red.
• False negatives: purple.
• Matched detections: green.

UI principles

• Analysis-first, map-supported.
• Always show status and provenance.
• No decorative clutter.
• Technical but readable.
• Every output should be exportable or inspectable.

Component style

• Dense but not cramped.
• Clear empty states.
• Explicit loading states.
• Confidence/status badges.
• Sidebar navigation with workbench sections.
