Sorry for the delay.
'Its all in the detail'
Currently 'big data' is of such variable quality that it can only be used in general terms, areas to be avoid when constructing a road for example. https://www.stfc.ac.uk/3557.aspx (thanks for that)
When you get down to the 'really small' things change dramatically, its a bit like when the 'really small' corrections were made to the Hubble space telescope the value of the data it then produced was colossal.

Collectively individuals, companies and organisations are going to be producing very precise 'big data' at a low cost. When this data can be access and analysed you wont need to leave your office so much. On a much smaller scale I actually use to work like this in the construction industry. Take the paper drawings of the project, construct a 3d model, survey the site and and feed in asbuit surveys. Every time new drawings arrived I was able to see if they would work without setting foot outside the office because the information I was working with was of a 2mm accuracy.
This is how I see Precision Multi Layer Analysis, its not necessarily a good explanation, more how parts I see of the jigsaw, come into focus.
