Founders’ Letters

To our team at Ladris: 

August is going to be a big month. With the foundation laid and the roadmap set, we have broken ground on our newest suite of technology offerings: response-oriented tools that put predictive artificial intelligence systems in the hands of front line responders. These are: 

• Sentinel Prime (name pending): AI-generated evacuation plans, traffic control points, fire forecasts, and real-time data for first responders 
• First Officer (name pending): A tablet-based version of Sentinel Prime, with added command-and-control functionality for Incident Commanders 
• Sentry: AI-powered, real-time incident monitoring and disaster event updates 

With this move we are entering a new segment; that is, the operational segment, offering this directly to law enforcement and firefighters. The first of these deployments will be activated early next quarter with trusted partner agencies. 

And, we continue to push forward with new advanced planning applications. Just this week we are releasing Ladris FuelsRx, a new offering that is derived from a powerful and unique atmospheric fire weather modeling framework originally developed by Dr. Janice Coen as part of her scientific research. It is the first time ever that an atmospheric fire model is available as a commercial application. 

By the end of the year, we expect to offer a 10-product suite for governments with deep interoperability, and an unparalleled bench of domain and technical expertise providing premium value to customers. 

We believe that these moves draw lines in the sand that capture the attention of the market and will drive our industry, and the issue of disaster risk generally, forward. We are grateful to have the opportunity to go after this with a team that is capable of executing at the highest level. 

Leo, Bowen, and Igor
