The Locus dashboard is the home screen for your workspace. It surfaces portfolio alerts, market pulse, and emerging signals, and includes a national activity mini-map that lets you jump straight into the Explorer at any location.

National activity mini-map

A heatmap above the stat cards renders the same axiom_events signal that powers the full Explorer, scoped to the last 90 days across the contiguous United States. The dashboard preview and the deep-dive read identically — same palette, same weight stops — so they feel like one tool.

What it shows

  • Heat density — concentration of recent events (permits, civic, maritime, and other public-record signals) over the last 90 days.
  • Event count — total events in the visible window, shown in the top-left caption.
  • Color ramp — purple (low) → green → gold → orange (high), matched 1:1 with the Explorer map.

How to use it

1

Scan the country

The map opens fitted to CONUS so you can spot hot regions at a glance — corridors of permit activity, port congestion clusters, civic-record spikes.
2

Click anywhere to score that location

Clicking a point opens the Explorer at that exact coordinate (/explore?lat=…&lng=…) with the score panel ready. No generic map view — you land where you clicked.
3

Open the full Explorer

Use the Open Explorer button in the top-right when you want the full-map workspace with filters, isochrones, and the cell sidebar.
The mini-map is decorative when the activity feed is unavailable — your dashboard stat cards always render, even if the heatmap endpoint is degraded.
