Why ground-truth matters

The signals that drive real losses
are not visible from space.

Insurers, infrastructure operators and governments increasingly make critical decisions based on climate models trained on satellite imagery, interpolated weather data and synthetic datasets. The problem: these sources miss street-level physics.

Gusts, local humidity spikes, micro-heat stress, flash-flood precursors — these signals are not captured with enough frequency or granularity by any public data layer. Yet they are precisely what drives equipment failure, parametric triggers and infrastructure degradation.

Velox captures them directly — from physical nodes deployed on the ground, updated every hour, across every climate zone on earth.

How it works

From physical sensor to decision-ready intelligence.

Every node deployed in the field feeds a live pipeline — from raw environmental telemetry to calibrated climate indices delivered to your systems in real time.

1
Physical capture
Temperature · wind · humidity · rainfall · pressure · air quality — measured on site, every hour
2
GPS zone classification
Each site classified to its exact climate zone — alert thresholds calibrated accordingly
3
Vertex AI modelling
Google Cloud Vertex AI + Gemini — trained on ground-truth history, METAR, GEE and ERA5 — improving daily

Why Velox

What makes our data different.

Ground-truth intelligence is not a feature — it is the foundation. Here is what that means in practice for your organisation.

01
Measured, not modelled
Every data point originates from a physical sensor on the ground — not an interpolated grid square or a satellite pass. What you receive is what was measured, where your assets are.
02
Every major climate zone, monitored
The network is operational today — covering Europe, Africa, the Middle East and North America, with deployments growing continuously.
03
Climate zone-aware intelligence
Alert thresholds adapt to local conditions. A heat warning in Dubai fires at 44°C. In Oslo, at 28°C. Generic global thresholds produce noise. Ours produce signals.
04
A dataset that deepens over time
Every new node extends geographic coverage. Every hour adds to the historical record. The longer we operate, the more precise our indices become — for every client.
05
Production-ready infrastructure
The full pipeline — from sensor to API endpoint — runs on Google Cloud, updated every hour, with documented REST endpoints and BigQuery-compatible exports.
06
Data intelligence that compounds
Every new site enriches every existing client's intelligence. The dataset deepens with every hour of operation across every climate zone we monitor.
07
GDPR-ready, institution-grade compliance
Environmental telemetry falls outside GDPR scope. EU-hosted on GCP with SCCs and data processing agreements — ready for insurers, banks and regulated operators.
08
Audit-ready for regulatory reporting
Every index is documented, reproducible and traceable. Methodology notes and data lineage available for CSRD, TCFD, IFRS 17 and Solvency II disclosure requirements.
09
Atmospheric models enrich, not replace
ERA5 and atmospheric data calibrate and enrich our indices. Our physical network is the foundation — the enrichment layer makes it sharper, not the other way around.
