1. Visual Clue Extraction

| Category | Look for |

|----------|----------|

| Text/Signage | Languages, scripts, street signs, license plates, phone formats |

| Infrastructure | Road markings, traffic lights, poles, utilities, bollards |

| Architecture | Materials, styles, roof types, density patterns |

| Nature | Vegetation, terrain, geology, sun position, weather |

| Culture | Vehicles, driving side, clothing, shops, brands |

2. Hypothesis Formation

Form hypotheses at multiple scales:

| Scale | Example |

|-------|---------|

| Continent/Region | Europe, Southeast Asia |

| Country | Specific nation |

| Region/State | Sub-national |

| City/Town | Locality |

| Precise | Street-level |

For each: Note supporting evidence, confidence (H/M/L), conflicts.

3. Image Examination

When details unclear:

• Crop regions of interest
• Enhance text/signage
• Isolate architectural details

4. Web Search Verification

| Strategy | Query pattern |

|----------|---------------|

| Sign text | "[exact text]" location |

| Features | [feature] [suspected region] |

| Business | "[name]" address |

| Landmark | [description] landmark [region] |

| Road | [designation] [country] |

Cross-reference multiple clues, look for consistent attribution.

5. Iterative Refinement

After each cycle:

1. Update hypothesis confidence
2. Identify remaining uncertainties
3. Determine if more examination helps
4. Continue until confident or limit reached

```

Location Analysis

Observed Clues:

• [Key observations with confidence]

Reasoning Process:

• [Hypothesis formation and verification]

Conclusion

• Most likely location: [As specific as evidence allows]
• Confidence: High/Medium/Low
• Key evidence: [Primary determinants]
• Uncertainties: [What remains unclear]

```

| Aspect | Guideline |

|--------|-----------|

| Confidence | High requires multiple independent confirmations |

| Single clues | Can mislead (similar signage in multiple countries) |

| Privacy | Don't identify individuals or residential addresses |

| Iteration | Max 5 cycles, stop when marginal value low |
