What we build.

Six operational vectors. One pipeline behind them. We bring the engine; you bring the question. We deliver work product an analyst can act on — not a dashboard you have to interpret alone.

Vectors Live 02 / OPERATIONAL
In Development 04 / Q3-2026
Coverage Mountain West · CONUS · Selective international
Engagement Pilot · Retainer · Bespoke

Every vector below runs on the same pipeline. We ingest open-source signal from satellites, sensor networks, public databases, AIS, ADS-B, regulatory filings, and scraped public archives. We fuse and timestamp it against geographic and entity graphs. We interrogate it with model-aware tooling that keeps a human in the loop. We deliver it as evidence, not as a feed.

What changes between engagements is the surface — the question, the geography, the customer's workflow, the format of delivery. The substrate underneath is shared infrastructure that gets faster, cheaper, and more rigorous with every engagement we land.

This is deliberate. It is also why we will tell you, sometimes, that you do not need us yet.

S-001 GEO · FIRE

Wildfire intelligence.

Pre-fire fuel modeling, real-time hotspot triage, and post-fire damage assessment for the small fire districts, rural counties, and conservation operators that the federal interagency engine does not serve in detail.

The Problem

Federal interagency commands receive sophisticated pre-season fuel modeling, real-time perimeter analytics, and post-fire BAER assessment. Small fire districts, rural counties, and conservation landholders receive a public MODIS feed and the regional dispatch radio.

When a fire ignites, they have minutes to decide which structures to defend and which to evacuate. They do not have an analyst on staff. They have a chief, a deputy, and a planning officer pulling a fourteenth shift.

What We Deliver
  • Pre-season fuel-load surfaces overlaid on county parcel and structure data, prioritized by defensible-space risk
  • Continuous hotspot triage during active fires, prioritized by structures-at-risk within a configurable radius
  • Burn perimeter tracking with sub-daily revisit during incidents
  • Post-fire damage proxy maps within 72 hours of containment, suitable for FEMA and state recovery filings
  • Optional 24-hour on-call analyst availability during declared fire season

S-002 GEO · ATMO

Emissions & pollutant surveillance.

Operator-level methane and pollutant attribution for environmental watchdogs, state DEQs, plaintiff-side counsel, and ESG-bound capital — with timestamped, defensible chain-of-custody.

The Problem

Climate TRACE, Carbon Mapper, and MethaneSAT publish operator-level attribution at a continental scale. That is excellent for headlines and aggregate climate accounting. It is not actionable for a state DEQ writing an enforcement letter, a plaintiff-side firm building a record, or an ESG fund engaging a portfolio company.

Bridging the gap between satellite plume and operator-level evidence requires synthesis, methodology documentation, and defensibility — not another dashboard.

What We Deliver
  • Plume detection and attribution at facility and operator level, with confidence intervals
  • Time-series quantification with anomaly flagging at configurable thresholds
  • Cross-reference against EPA EIS/AQS, state air-quality networks, and FAA flight-track records
  • Expert-witness-ready methodology documentation suitable for regulatory or judicial submission
  • Quarterly briefings written for non-technical audiences (commissioners, trustees, juries)

S-003 GEO · TERRA

Land use & encroachment.

Weekly change detection across thousands of acres, with automated flagging of unauthorized grading, illegal dumping, and boundary encroachment — before the damage compounds.

The Problem

BLM districts, county code enforcement, state lands divisions, and large private landholders are tasked with monitoring acreage at a scale that no field staff can physically traverse on a weekly cadence. By the time illegal grading, an unpermitted structure, or a dump site is reported by a neighbor, the damage is done, restoration is expensive, and the perpetrator is gone.

The cure is continuous observation. The cure is also impossible without automation.

What We Deliver
  • Weekly disturbance reports across a defined area of interest, with new incidents prioritized by size, proximity to sensitive habitat, and parcel ownership
  • Before/after image packets ready for citation, court filing, or restoration estimate
  • Optional drone follow-up tasking for high-priority incidents requiring ground-truth resolution
  • Quarterly trend reports aggregating incident patterns by jurisdiction
  • Configurable thresholds — we calibrate to the actual operational threshold for action

S-004 SIG · MAR

Maritime anomaly.

Dark-vessel investigations, AIS gap analysis, and sanctions-evasion forensics — delivered as dossiers, not as seat-licensed software you cannot afford.

The Problem

Commercial maritime intelligence platforms — Spire, Windward, Pole Star, MarineTraffic Pro — start at five figures monthly and scale aggressively. Their seat licenses assume a standing intelligence team. Sanctions-focused NGOs, ESG compliance teams, investigative journalists, and commodity-trading risk desks do not have that standing team. They have a specific question and an investigation timeline.

What they need is targeted forensics, not a software subscription.

What We Deliver
  • Per-investigation dossiers covering vessel histories, port-call timelines, ownership traces, and beneficial-owner identification
  • SAR-derived dark-vessel maps for periods of AIS gap or transponder manipulation
  • Cross-reference against OFAC, EU, UK, and Five Eyes sanctions lists with timestamped match documentation
  • Quarterly retainer option for portfolio monitoring across a defined vessel or operator set
  • Optional rapid-response engagement for breaking-investigation timelines (5–10 business days)

S-005 GEO · BUILD

Construction & project verification.

Independent satellite and drone verification of construction progress against draw schedules — for private credit, regional banks, and builders' risk insurers underwriting projects they cannot easily visit.

The Problem

Private credit funds, mezzanine debt providers, and construction insurers underwrite billions of dollars in projects spread across geographies they cannot routinely visit. Draw schedules are approved on borrower-submitted reports and photographs. Independent verification requires either a costly site visit per draw event or a leap of faith.

Misalignment between reported and actual progress is one of the largest sources of preventable loss in construction lending. It is also one of the easiest to detect, given the right pipeline.

What We Deliver
  • Monthly project status reports with quantified progress against contracted milestones
  • Draw-event verification packets timed to the lender's pre-funding workflow
  • Anomaly alerts for stalled work, out-of-sequence work, or work inconsistent with permits filed
  • Optional drone-tasked detailed verification for high-value or high-risk draws
  • Portfolio-level dashboards for lenders monitoring multiple projects simultaneously

S-006 GEO · CRIT

Critical infrastructure watch.

Continuous observation of substations, water treatment, pipeline rights-of-way, and rail corridors — aligned to CISA guidance, NDA-first, scoped to your asset portfolio.

The Problem

Operators and regulators of substations, water treatment plants, pipelines, and rail rights-of-way face a watching problem at unmanageable scale. Federal guidance from CISA, FERC, and TSA is clear about what should be monitored. The analytic capacity to act on that guidance is rarely staffed at the utility cooperative, regional authority, or midstream-operator level.

Physical encroachment, suspicious construction adjacent to easements, unusual visitor patterns at remote sites — these are detectable signals if anyone is looking.

What We Deliver
  • Asset-level dashboards across a defined infrastructure portfolio
  • Encroachment, construction, and disturbance alerts with confidence ratings
  • Monthly executive briefings written for security committees and boards
  • Coordination workflow with the operator's existing physical-security and SOC functions
  • Strict NDA-first engagement; we do not market specific clients

Available to layer on any vector.

These are horizontal disciplines that strengthen any of the six vectors above — not standalone products. Scoped into the engagement as needed.

X-A.AI

AI integration.

Retrieval-grounded reasoning over your private corpus. Human-in-the-loop triage of high-volume alerts. Pseudonymized data flow so client information never crosses a model boundary in identifiable form. We use AI where it earns its keep — not as a wrapper for a press release.

  • RAG over private corpora
  • Triage automation
  • Pseudonymized processing
  • Evaluator-grounded prompts
X-B.INS

Bespoke instrumentation.

Field hardware where the off-the-shelf stops. ESP32 sensor arrays for air quality, environmental monitoring, or remote telemetry. Mesh-networked situational awareness using LoRa, ESP-NOW, and TAK-compatible protocols. 3D-printed enclosures rated to environment. Drone payload integration for specific operational questions.

  • Edge sensing
  • Mesh-capable comms
  • Custom enclosures
  • Drone payload integration

Three ways to start.

We do not believe in seat licenses for organizations that do not yet know whether they will use them. Every engagement begins with a fixed-scope, fixed-price commitment.

Asked & answered.

Q-01How is this different from buying a SaaS dashboard?

SaaS platforms ship you a tool. We ship you an answer. If the answer requires a dashboard, you get one — built for your workflow and tuned to your operational thresholds. If the answer is a written brief, a GeoJSON export, or a court-ready evidence packet, you get that instead. We are services-first by design because most of our clients do not have the standing analytic team that a SaaS platform assumes.

Q-02What does a pilot actually cost?

It depends on the vector, the geography, and the cadence. Pilots typically land between mid-four-figures and low-five-figures. We quote fixed-bid before kickoff. If we cannot give you a clean number, we will say so — and either propose a tighter scope or recommend you wait until the scope is tighter.

Q-03Do you take on classified work?

Not today. Our work product is unclassified by design — that is the whole premise of open-source intelligence. We will sign NDAs and respect customer confidentiality, and a meaningful portion of our work falls under client-specific NDA. But we do not hold a facility clearance, and we will not operate under one until and unless the engagement model genuinely requires it.

Q-04How do you handle client data?

Pseudonymized before crossing any model boundary where feasible. Encrypted in transit and at rest. Stored on infrastructure with audit logging and least-privilege analyst access. Retention is defined per engagement letter; default is 24 months after delivery. See our privacy policy for the specifics.

Q-05Can you support state or federal procurement vehicles?

We are working toward NASPO ValuePoint, Sourcewell, and applicable state cooperative purchasing vehicles. As of mid-2026 we are not yet on those vehicles directly — meaning we work most easily with agencies that can engage smaller vendors directly, or with primes who can vehicle us in. We will tell you up front whether procurement is a blocker for your specific case.

Q-06What is your geographic coverage?

Mountain West is our beachhead. We work across CONUS comfortably. Selective international work where it serves a maritime, sanctions, or emissions investigation. We do not currently engage on questions that require ground operations outside the United States.

Q-07Can you build something not on this list?

Often, yes — that is what the bespoke tier exists for. The six vectors above are where we have deliberately invested in repeatable pipelines. The Q-shop side of the business handles everything else: custom field hardware, drone payloads, mesh-network deployments, analyst workflow tools. Tell us the question and we will tell you honestly whether we are the right shop.

Bring a question.

A first conversation is free, brief, and confidential. We will tell you whether the question is one we can answer, whether the timeline is realistic, and whether you should be talking to someone else instead.
