PLATFORM · SINGLE-TENANT WORKBENCH
One workbench for Estonian land due diligence
EMPI is a single-tenant analyst workbench, built for one closed Estonian PE fund and paired with doctoral research on Estonian land productivity. It is not a public SaaS, and there is no signup. What it offers is diligence-grade analysis: every output reproducible, every number traceable to an official Estonian source, every screening step documented.
No subscription tiers. No pricing page. Engagement starts with a conversation.
CAPABILITY MODULES
What EMPI computes per parcel
Seven modules, one passport. Each runs per parcel, and each output carries the same provenance envelope.
SCORING
Strategy score panel
Eight strategy-specific suitability scores on a 0–100 scale, reported on three layers, biophysical, legally usable, economically useful. Always paired with one of eight verification statuses; scoring is never shown unverified.
Scoring module
FORESTRY DCF
Growth-and-yield valuation
Estonian-empirical G&Y v1.0.0, Kangur 2007 pine, Estonian allometry, Hossfeld IV site indices, driving a discounted-cash-flow valuation with Forest-Act rotation ages and a harvest-restriction factor for protected stands. NFI-cross-checked: 5 of 6 species within ±25%.
Forestry DCF module · How the models work
FAIR VALUE
Comparables and two theses
Two independent valuation passports, productive thesis and market/conversion thesis, never merged, with a marker for the stronger one. Comparables resolve against Maa- ja Ruumiamet’s official transactions register, where detailed access is granted case by case; until that access is in place, or when the comparable set is too thin, EMPI flags the market thesis as insufficient instead of returning a fabricated value. NOI anchors are calibrated to Maa-amet and Statistics Estonia 2024 lease data.
Comparables module
SENSITIVITY
Pre-purchase sensitivity and regional risk
A pre-purchase value-sensitivity panel shows which assumptions move the answer, and a regional-risk overlay grounds municipality-level demographic risk in OECD’s 2022 “Shrinking Smartly in Estonia” work.
Sensitivity module
OWNERSHIP
UBO graph
The ownership graph and recursive UBO chain are resolved live against the Estonian Business Register (Äriregister), down to the real person behind the selling entity.
Ownership module
COMPLIANCE FLAGS
Sanctions and PEP screening
Sanctions and PEP screening raises advisory flags only, the compliance officer makes every decision. Estonia-specific flags cover CSP chains, e-resident directors and UBO-declaration freshness; every run lands in an append-only audit trail.
Compliance module
HISTORY
Snapshots and delta panel
Every analysis is snapshotted. Re-run a parcel and the delta panel surfaces exactly what changed since prior diligence, verification status, score moves, new critical flags.
History module
The ownership and compliance layer has its own deep-dive. Compliance & provenance in detail
DATA BACKBONE
The data backbone
Every module above reads from versioned ingests of official Estonian registers, never from screenshots, brochures or third-hand exports. Counts from the EMPI live ingest, April 2026:
Comparable sales resolve against Maa- ja Ruumiamet’s official real-property transactions register, the canonical Estonian source; detailed access to it is granted case by case, and EMPI never substitutes an unapproved source for it. Where a register answers only in Estonian, EMPI reads it anyway. Research & field notes
What does land due diligence cover in Estonia?
Land due diligence
Land due diligence is the verification of a parcel’s productive capability, legal restrictions, valuation and counterparty risk before purchase, so the buyer knows what the land can do, what the law allows, and what a defensible price is.
- Productivity, what the parcel can produce, by strategy → strategy score panel.
- Legal restrictions, protection regimes, designations, encumbrances → legal layer + restriction-severity score.
- Forestry economics, standing timber, growth, legal harvest schedule → Estonian-empirical G&Y DCF.
- Valuation, fair value per target return vs comparable sales → fair-value matrix + market thesis.
- Counterparty, ownership chain, UBO, sanctions and PEP exposure → UBO graph + advisory flags.
- Documentation, can every number be reproduced and audited later → provenance envelope + append-only trail.
Working questions, answered
No. EMPI is a single-tenant, internal-grade workbench with no public signup and no pricing page. It was built for one closed Estonian PE fund and is paired with doctoral research. If the capability set fits your mandate, engagement starts with a conversation.
Yes, the operating scope is the Republic of Estonia, in the national L-EST97 coordinate system. The data backbone spans the full national registers: cadastre, soil, topography, agricultural fields, forest stands and protected areas, with counts published on this page.
No, it tells you when you need them. The verification taxonomy explicitly flags parcels for legal review or field validation when registry data shows ownership complications or when high potential needs an on-site check. Scoring is never presented without that status.
Every output records exactly which dataset versions it used, that is what the provenance envelope is for. Instead of a blanket freshness claim, each parcel report states its own data vintage, and re-analysis shows what changed since the prior run.
No. EMPI computes scores, valuations under explicit target returns, and advisory compliance flags. Decision labels state conditions, for example, fair at a 3% target return but overpriced at 5%, and the decisions themselves stay with the fund’s committee and compliance officer.
Bring us a parcel, a cadastral reference is enough, and we will show you the full passport on it.
