About
Local Resource Mapping Network (LRMN)
A decentralized platform that allows communities to map and share information about local resources: water sources, fertile land, salvageable materials after the collapse. Focuses on low-tech communication and verification methods to function without power/internet access. Think: ham radio integration, physical maps, and community-based verification.

Future Scenarios that inspired this product idea

A decentralized, self-healing infrastructure, built from AI RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) principles, adapts to environmental changes and resource constraints with minimal human intervention.
Extrapolated from DeepSeek’s R1 and OpenAI’s Deep Research just redefined AI — RAG, distillation, and custom models will never be the same - VentureBeat
