GSO IQ

Spectrum data is public, scattered, and inconsistent in every dimension that matters. Regulators publish awards in different units, different currencies, over different licence terms, with population figures from different years. Comparing two countries honestly takes an afternoon.

GSO IQ is the tool that makes it take a minute.

What it holds

Licence and award records across countries and bands, normalised so that they can actually be compared: prices converted to a common basis, licence durations annualised, and population adjustments applied consistently rather than per analyst.

On top of that sit a band plan browser that shows who holds what across a country’s spectrum, country detail pages, and benchmarking views that place one award against a peer group.

The query layer

The part I am most pleased with is the natural language interface. A question in plain English is parsed into an intent, turned into a query against the schema, executed, and returned with a chart chosen to suit the shape of the answer.

The interesting engineering is not the generation, it is the evaluation. There is a harness that generates questions, runs them, and scores the answers with a model acting as judge, so that a change to the query builder can be measured rather than argued about. Without that, a natural-language layer is a demo. With it, it is a feature.

Interface

Server-rendered HTML with HTMX for the interactive parts. No build step, no client-side framework, no hydration. Tables expand, charts redraw and filters apply without a full page load, and the whole thing degrades to working plain HTML.

For a data tool used by analysts on corporate laptops, that trade has been consistently correct.

Note on data

The public demonstration runs on a sanitised, read-only dataset built from openly published regulator sources. Licensed third party data and internal analysis are not included.
