• Gyms: Identify and catalog all gyms within the territory.
• Stops: Locate and enumerate all PokéStops.
• IV Fence Estimation: Scan areas for targeted spawn scanning.
• Points of Interest (POI) Names: Document names of all POIs.
• Fence & Known POI Revision: Adjust fence based on known POIs.
• Spawn Point Discovery: Detect all Pokémon spawn points.
• Spawn Point Time-to-Hidden (TTH): Measure time Pokémon remain visible at spawn points.
• Routing: Establish optimal paths between POIs for scanners.
• Raid and Quest Account Allocation: Allocate accounts for monitoring raids and quest scans.
• Automation Process: Set up processes for automatic data collection/update.
• Nest Discovery: Identify and document Pokémon nests.
• Nominatim [City/Area Name]: Geocoding & Reverse Geocoding of street address and GPS coordinates.
• Subscriber Signup & Onboarding: Ensure a streamlined process for new users.

II. User Communication

• Community Feedback: Gather feedback from local Pokémon GO community.
• Issue Reporting: Set up a system for users to report issues or inaccuracies.
• Progress Updates: Communicate regularly with users about the status and any changes.

Note: Not all items will be checked immediately during onboarding.
e.g. Spawn point TTL and Nest discovery may take weeks/months for large areas.
