From pixels to playbooks that save lives and assets

In disasters, latency beats resolution. Constellations that deliver rapid tasking, guaranteed alerting, and pre-planned analytics unlock real operational decisions: evacuations, asset shutdowns, corridor routing, claims triage. The business is service-level management, not imagery per se.

Operators that prepare before events—digitised floodplains, fire corridors, lifeline infrastructure—can deliver turn-key incident packs when alerts trigger. Downstream, insurers, emergency managers, utilities and telcos plug outputs straight into their systems.

Commercial takeaways

The proposition is presented as event intelligence where guaranteed latency and coverage matter more than raw resolution. Insurers, emergency managers, utilities and telecoms are emerging as principal buyers, favouring contracts structured around per-event bundles and clear SLAs. Distribution is forming through systems integrators, insurance brokers and public–private frameworks. Providers are investing in pre-event preparedness—digitised risk layers and rehearsed workflows—so playbooks can trigger automatically when hazards occur. Credibility grows through city-scale drills, post-event truthing agreements and transparent remedies when alerts miss agreed windows.

Sell outcomes—minutes saved, safer crews, faster claims—not pixels.
