    Example Scenario

    A photo goes viral. Where was it really taken?

    An image claims to show flooding in a UK coastal town. Your editor needs confirmation before the story runs. You upload the photo to PhotoRadar. Within 30 seconds, the AI suggests three candidate locations with confidence scores. You open the top match on the interactive map, switch to Street View, and compare the building façades. Match confirmed — the photo is genuine and correctly located.

    You export the coordinates and confidence data as CSV, attach it to the story file, and the article goes live with verified sourcing. Total time: under two minutes.
