We build on existing infrastructure, combining AI-first development with expertise in weather, water, the environment and user-centred design.
Partners we've worked with
Postdoctoral researcher in user-centred design and six years leading customer experience teams.
Every one of us holds an MSci in Geology from Imperial College London, and our team includes a postdoctoral researcher in climate risk and water security.
Eight years of combined software and data science experience, including at Anglo American. We build and run our own live platforms, like Probcast, used by farms across the UK.
*i.e. we build things that work, not dashboards that look good in demo but never get opened again
ProbcastWeather forecasting for farming
Standard weather apps boil the forecast down to one number and hide the risk. We built Probcast to show farmers every possible outcome and the chance of each, so they can plan spraying, drilling and harvest around real risk.
Used by farms across the UK. Tested in a 75-farm season study with Imperial College London, on farm with Dyson Farming Research, and operationally through the UK Agri-Tech Centre.
Smart Abstraction, product 1 of 3
Live abstraction management platform
We built a live abstraction-management dashboard for Water Resources East and the Environment Agency, bringing river flows, sensor telemetry, licence data, forecasts, and alerts into one platform to support smarter water sharing in the Upper Cam Catchment.
Initial trials received positive feedback from project partners and led to an extended next phase, expanding the dashboard’s capabilities and use across different catchments.
We lead the innovation plan for the design of the UK’s £38m Floods and Droughts Research Infrastructure by researching user priorities and recommending how future observatories, data platforms and research tools can deliver sustained value.
With Groundwater Relief and Action Against Hunger, we helped translate technical groundwater monitoring practice into clear guidance for humanitarian teams working in data-scarce contexts.
We led climate finance training for 120 university teachers across more than 20 universities in Islamabad, KP and Punjab, helping academics bring climate finance into teaching, research and project development.
We investigated how land-use change, wildfire and catchment degradation can amplify flood and sediment risk, helping explain why severe impacts can occur even when rainfall itself is not extreme.
How we work
We start by speaking to the people involved, from project leads to end users, to understand why the work matters, what different stakeholders need and what success looks like for each party.
We review the available data streams, gaps, limitations and technical requirements, from forecasts and sensors to GIS, remote sensing and hydrological datasets.
We bring together stakeholder needs, success criteria, data availability and technical constraints to define the right product, workflow and build plan.
We build the tool, dashboard, model or report, then work with your team to test it, improve it and make sure it is useful in practice.
We can help shape the problem, understand the data and turn it into something your team can use in practice.
