No metadata. No landmark. Still a region.
A coordinate and a radius
Never a pin without a circle. The radius is the claim, and it is floored by tier so a weak result cannot be drawn as a precise one.
A confidence tier
Exact, nearby, area or unknown. Unknown is a real answer and is returned rather than a low-confidence guess dressed as a location.
The evidence behind it
Every signal that moved the answer, named and weighted, so an analyst can agree or disagree with the reasoning rather than the output.
Environment
Vegetation, biome, soil, terrain and sky against latitude and season.
Structure
Construction method, roofing, glazing, kerb profile and road furniture.
Convention
Sign systems, road markings, utility fittings and vehicle norms, which vary by jurisdiction more reliably than architecture does.
Astronomy
Sun angle and shadow direction against capture time, when the frame carries one.
Faces and body features never inform a location estimate.
A claim tighter than 250 metres is only returned with independent support.
The photograph is never written to storage. Only the derived result is kept.
