AI-Powered Environmental & Indigenous Decision Intelligence

ManaReview.ai is a Māori-led technology platform supporting environmental assessment, regulatory analysis, cultural impact assessment and institutional decision-making across jurisdictions.

Mana Review AI serves Indigenous governments, iwi and hapū, environmental consultancies, regulatory authorities, government institutions, research institutions and international development organisations.

For Iwi and Hapū

Every consent, infrastructure proposal and development project contains signals. Mana Review AI helps iwi identify cultural and environmental risk earlier, strengthen engagement and negotiation, retain institutional knowledge and recognise credible opportunities for participation and economic value.

Protect Value. Find Value. Retain Value.

Protect Value: Identify risks, effects, evidence gaps and strategic issues earlier. Find Value: Recognise credible opportunities in monitoring, restoration, procurement, workforce development, services and partnerships. Retain Value: Keep knowledge, precedent, decisions and organisational intelligence within the organisation.

The Wrap-Around Service

Review: AI-supported review of complex environmental and development information. Interpret: Cultural, environmental, regulatory and strategic interpretation. Respond: Support for assessment pathways, engagement, negotiation, mitigation, monitoring and next steps. Recognise Opportunity: Where credible and appropriate, identify potential participation, service, procurement, capability, partnership or strategic opportunities.

Ancient Intelligence

Ancient Intelligence explores what living systems, Indigenous knowledge and older systems of thought can teach us about intelligence, authority, responsibility and the technologies we are creating. Ancient Intelligence is the connected intellectual and research platform. Mana Review AI is the primary commercial business.

Government & Development Partnerships

Digital Environmental Governance for Governments and Development Institutions

ManaReview.ai is a technology platform available for institutional licensing and funded international pilot programmes — bringing structured environmental and Indigenous decision intelligence into public institutions.

Potential funding & implementation partners

Institutions that could fund or implement pilot programmes.

Pilot programmes are typically funded and implemented through institutions with environmental, development and climate mandates.

New Zealand Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade

United Nations Development Programme

United Nations Environment Programme

Other relevant United Nations agencies

Multilateral development banks

Regional development institutions

Bilateral development agencies

International environmental and climate funds

These are potential partner types for future programmes. Listing them does not imply any existing partnership, funding commitment or institutional endorsement.

Potential applications

Where the platform can strengthen public institutions.

ManaReview.ai can be applied across the environmental and governance functions of government and development institutions.

Environmental impact assessment

Legislative and regulatory analysis

Biodiversity governance

Climate adaptation

Marine and coastal management

Indigenous environmental governance

Institutional decision-support capacity

Pilot programmes

Opportunities for funded pilots globally.

ManaReview.ai is available for government-funded, development-funded and multilateral pilot programmes in any jurisdiction where environmental governance and decision-support capacity matter.

Government-funded pilots

National and sub-national governments can fund pilot deployments within their own environmental, regulatory and Indigenous governance institutions.

Development-funded pilots

Development agencies and bilateral partners can fund pilots that strengthen environmental governance and decision-support capacity in partner jurisdictions.

Multilateral pilots

Multilateral institutions can support pilots that span jurisdictions — testing cross-border approaches to environmental assessment, biodiversity governance and climate adaptation.

Pricing & scope

Pilot pricing and scope are determined through consultation. Each programme is designed around the institution's mandate, jurisdiction and decision context — with ManaReview.ai's patent-pending intellectual property remaining protected through the licensing arrangement.

Institutional licensing

Licensed to institutions, adapted to jurisdictions.

Government agencies, development institutions and multilateral bodies can licence ManaReview.ai for institutional use. Deployments are configured to each jurisdiction's legal, regulatory and cultural settings — without exposing the platform's patent-pending intellectual property.
