How this is measured

SibFly reads NASA OPERA DISP-S1 (processed Copernicus Sentinel-1 radar) at a 30-meter grid and fits the multi-year trend at each cell. It is measured movement, not a model — a screening estimate from space, not an engineering survey. Developers and AI agents can pull the same data from the API.
