Verification, Reporting
Set the candidate location, date and timezone; compare modeled shadows with visible ones; vary the assumptions; check terrain and building coverage; report the remaining time range.
English-first editorial profile. Verify current interface languages and source-language coverage; multilingual input does not guarantee equal analytical quality.
Limits
Strengths, caveats, and risk
A visual model can make sun-angle comparisons easier to inspect.
Results depend on building coverage, terrain, geometry, date and timezone settings.
Model agreement is supporting context, not unique proof of a location or timestamp.

Check data licensing and avoid publishing sensitive geolocation details without a justified public-interest basis.
Record coordinate systems, acquisition dates, resolution and uncertainty; validate important interpretations independently. Official-source desk research only; not hands-on tested. Tool-specific caution: Model agreement is supporting context, not unique proof of a location or timestamp.
