Feedback for in-dev Rainfall Analysis tool

We are developing an online spatial data platform focused on simple and accessible point cloud visualization and inspection directly in the browser. The platform supports point clouds, panoramic images, orthophotos, vector data, and 3D models in a unified environment.

One of the features we are currently working on is rainfall analysis, and I’d like to share a short preview video of its current state from a demo scan of a public street. We would really appreciate honest feedback — both positive and critical — especially from professionals working in hydrology or related fields. What features would be most useful? What is unnecessary? What would make this tool genuinely valuable in real-world workflows?

Our goal is to create a solution that truly supports the needs of the industry while also making point cloud usage simpler and more accessible, as we know this is often still a challenge in practice.

How do you perform a flow analysis from point clouds? Generate a Tin? A DTM? Extract vectors and build a surface from it? What key factors you take into account? And what is the most useful output?

As a surveyour, who has little to none experience in the topic, I'm curious, how hydrology engineers utilise the point clouds and how does the outcome looks?
