Our purpose
Turning complex environmental data into real-world impact.
We build data platforms that connect people, systems and science — helping operators monitor, comply and act with confidence.

Sustainable operations
through better data
through better data
The challenge
Environmental performance is now a board-level risk. The data behind it rarely is.
Regulators expect evidence on demand. Most operators still run it from spreadsheets, historians and email.
Manual, fragile reporting
Annual reports still depend on copy-paste work by a handful of people.
Rigid legacy tooling
Proprietary tools lock your data in — every new question is a months-long change request.
What we do
One team that understands both the science and the systems.
Most firms give you consultants or integrators. We're both — nothing gets lost in translation.
Environmental compliance & advisory
Licence compliance, monitoring design and sustainability reporting — led by an EPA-facing environmental engineer.
- Licence & permit requirement mapping
- Surface water, groundwater, air, noise & vibration monitoring
- Water stewardship & mine water management
- ICMM & CSRD sustainability reporting
Data platforms & integration
We connect LIMS, historians, SCADA, ERP and GIS into one governed analytics platform.
- LIMS, historian & SCADA integration
- Time-series and geospatial data platforms
- APIs built on open industrial standards
Programme delivery & modernisation
Replacing legacy reporting without disrupting operations — roadmap to hands-on delivery, same people throughout.
- Legacy BI & reporting replacement
- Data governance, ownership & lineage
- Structured handover & operating models
AI-native engineering
AI-assisted engineering, many times faster than traditional delivery — inside strict, test-first guardrails.
- Rapid prototyping to production
- Automated testing & continuous integration
- Documentation generated alongside the code
Product
Envision
The environmental intelligence platform for regulated operations.
One governed source of truth for lab, sensor and permit data. Compliance tracking, automated reporting and mapping — built in, and owned by you.

Compliance, continuously
Every result checked against its licence limit on arrival — exceedances surface in hours.
Reports in minutes
Annual, noise and vibration reports generated straight from validated data — same figures, every time.
Spatial by design
Every monitoring point on the map, history and status one click away.
Defensible numbers
Full lineage from source record to published figure — audit-ready, always.
Open & portable
Built on PostgreSQL, TimescaleDB and PostGIS. No lock-in — runs on-premise or in your cloud.
Operational health
Coverage, completeness and data quality monitored automatically — gaps found before the regulator finds them.
Deployment
Your infrastructure or ours. The same platform either way.
One versioned product. Run it on your network, or let us host it — move between the two anytime.
Inside your network
Installed next to your lab and process systems. Your IT keeps control; we provide releases and support.
- No data leaves your site
- Fits existing security & backup policies
- Proven in production at one of Europe's leading mining companies
Dedicated, EU-hosted, operated by us
Your own isolated instance, EU-hosted. We run updates and monitoring — you just use it.
- Separate database and servers per client — never shared
- Secure outbound connector to on-site systems; no firewall openings
- Live in days, with full data export at any time
How we work
Speed with rigour.
Fast only matters if the numbers are right. Every week ships something usable — and verifiable.
-
Weeks 1–2
Discover
Map licence obligations, source systems and the questions people actually need answered.
-
Weekly
Build
Working software from sprint one — tested, reviewed and deployed through an automated pipeline.
-
Continuously
Prove
Results reconciled against source records with domain experts, not just engineers.
-
Built in
Hand over
Documentation, runbooks and training — so your organisation owns the platform, not us.
The guardrails behind the speed
- Test-first domain logic — detection limits and unit conversions are tests before they're code.
- Automated verification — every change passes CI before it reaches production.
- Repeatable deployments — versioned database changes; environments rebuild from scratch.
- Transparent lineage — every figure traces back to its source record.
Case study
Replacing a legacy reporting layer at one of Europe's leading mining companies.
Expensive Excel reports. Scattered legacy data. Meet Envision.
Before
Scattered spreadsheets. Copy-paste reporting. Tribal knowledge.
Now
One governed model. Every figure traced to source.
Delivered
Regulatory reports write themselves from validated data.
Two disconnected systems and manual spreadsheet work behind every licence report.
One data platform: LIMS + historian, compliance engine, geospatial view, automated reporting.
Live in three months. Answers in minutes. Every figure traceable to source.
Leadership
Two founders. Two disciplines. One accountable team.
Built side by side at a working mine — Damien defines what the data must prove, Martin engineers the platform that proves it.
