Field effort
Pilot
The practical bridge between the public program and real sites: geography, goals, and how we work with partners—without mixing the full long-range scope into day-one deployment detail.
For why a parcel-level layer matters and how evidence becomes a view, see Why it matters and How it works before diving into field specifics.
Program scope
Open Environmental Sensing and Inference System (OESIS) is a parcel-first environmental sensing and inference program. It combines sensing, parcel inference, governance, neighborhood intelligence, and pilot deployment while keeping parcel-linked data private by default. Long term, it aims to support predictive software for local climate-related conditions and hazards using local observations, parcel context, public data, and optional neighborhood evidence. The parcel remains the anchor for decisions as the program grows. Outputs are meant to complement official alerts and emergency authorities, not replace them.
- Modular hardware and software that scale from one parcel to networks
- Explicit governance: private by default, shared by choice
- Long-term path from field pilots to broader shared intelligence
Current build scope
The current reference slice is narrow: one parcel, one bench-air lineage, one parcel context, one ingest path, one inference path, and one parcel view. The next planned step is a two-node indoor and sheltered-outdoor kit built from bench-air plus mast-lite. In parallel, the team is focused on the first field pilot, monitoring, documentation, and partnerships.
- v0.1 reference path from bench-air ingest to a parcel view
- Single-structure and small-site parcel awareness with explicit uncertainty
- Partnerships and docs that make deployment repeatable

Current release focus
Releasev0.1–v0.5Parcel-level environmental awarenessScopeFrom reference pipeline through trust scoring and governance enforcement for one site.Hazard focus: Smoke, Heat, Flood / runoff Pilot geography
The first field pilot targets one defined local geography, to be announced with partners. The scope is large enough to test installs, ingest, and support in real conditions.
Goals
- Prove repeatability: install, operate, and interpret parcel evidence at real sites
- Exercise governance in practice: private by default, optional sharing
- Collect structured feedback for kit, docs, and product boundaries
Who it serves
Parcel operators and residents who want parcel-level environmental awareness, local partners who can support installs and community trust, and technical contributors who need a real deployment context for software and hardware.
What participating sites get
- A pilot parcel-level view of air, heat, water risk, and smoke context aligned to your site, with confidence and evidence limits shown
- Participation in shaping the pilot playbook and documentation
- Direct line to the team for support, constraints, and governance questions
What success looks like
- Stable operation of the pilot stack across participating sites
- Documented lessons for install, inference trust, and parcel operator communication
- Credible path from pilot learnings to the next program phases
