# Product strategy

Shanhe Atlas: China explores landscapes, history, and civilization through place. It treats an atlas as a way to understand context, not merely as navigation.

## Strategic role

- Establish the China edition as the mother edition and structural reference for the series.
- Connect place with landscape, historical context, and civilization.
- Keep future country possibilities separate from products that actually exist.

## Boundaries

No public release, download, platform specification, pricing, or country expansion has been confirmed. Korea, Japan, France, and other country editions are possible directions only, not announced products.

## Unknowns

The audience hierarchy, content scope, editorial model, map-data sources, business model, launch market, and release criteria are not yet public.
