I get the feeling its more keyed to large scale planting of single crops so has a different focus to permaculture design.

I know a faculty at University of Washington that helped on this. One of the functions was to support revegetation. Even after 10 questions the species lists don't reflect much subtlety, and no consideration of common community associations. The only design criteria is likelihood of species adaptation to site conditions. Worse than a designer, better than nothing. It is evidence of how difficult it is to use plant preference data to model design.
