 ### Grid
 
-Each city is covered by a hexagonal grid at 200 m spacing. Hexagons tessellate uniformly and avoid the directional bias of square grids. One score is stored per grid point per (category × travel mode × threshold × profile) combination.
+Each city is covered by a regular rectangular grid at 200 m spacing, generated in Web Mercator (EPSG:3857) and projected back to WGS84. One score is stored per grid point per (category × travel mode × threshold × profile) combination. On the map each grid point is rendered as a circle.
 
 ### Routing

 **Phase 1 — Routing** (parallel child jobs, dispatched by `compute-scores`)
 
-- *Walking, cycling, driving* — 15 parallel jobs (3 modes × 5 categories). A PostGIS KNN lateral join finds the 6 spatially nearest POIs per grid point; those coordinates are sent to Valhalla's `sources_to_targets` matrix API in batches. The nearest POI per subcategory is persisted to `grid_poi_details`.

The nearest POI per subcategory is persisted to `grid_poi_details`.
 - *Transit* — 1 job per city (`compute-transit`). Concurrent isochrone calls (8 at a time) to the dedicated transit Valhalla instance; PostGIS `ST_Within` classifies POIs into contour bands. Runs first so it overlaps with the routing jobs.
