§ 02 What is operating today Shipped, not planned

The intelligence business is already running.

Everything below is built, deployed, and in production today — separate from the hardware roadmap. It is the part of Volantyx an investor can inspect rather than take on trust.

01 · PipelineIntake to delivery

A production assessment line.

Customers submit online; the submission lands in a database, is imported into the analyst workbench in one click, is scored, and is delivered as a stored, versioned report. Confirmations, invoicing, reminders, a weekly operations digest, and off-site backups run without human intervention.

ORDER → ASSESS → DELIVERIn production
02 · MethodDTRI Model v0.1

Versioned, hashed, auditable.

Production scoring weights are locked; every export carries the model version and a cryptographic configuration hash, so any score can be reproduced and audited. Each input carries a provenance label and a confidence grade. A release gate blocks delivery on unmet standards, and every report requires second-reader sign-off.

REPRODUCIBLE · GOVERNEDRatings-grade discipline
03 · DataPer-site, automated

Federal sources, fetched per facility.

Given coordinates, the platform assembles an environmental and airspace baseline automatically from NASA POWER, NOAA climate and station records, USGS 3DEP elevation, and FAA airspace and UAS facility maps — each value logged to the evidence register with its source and how it was applied.

NASA · NOAA · USGS · FAAAutomated
04 · CommercialPriced and orderable

Three products, one order path.

Exposure Snapshot at $4,500, Facility Threat Assessment from $25,000, and continuous monitoring from $60,000 per year — orderable online today, with a dedicated broker intake for insurance distribution and portfolio analytics that rank exposure across a multi-site customer.

DIRECT · BROKER · PORTFOLIOAccepting orders
STATED PLAINLY No customer engagements have closed to date. The platform is live and accepting orders, and the assessment method is complete and governed — what remains to be proven is commercial traction, not capability.

§ 03 Why now Three lenses on value
01 · Market$83.5B by 2035

Market momentum.

Capturing 0.1% of the 2030 counter-UAS market implies $30M+ in revenue and supports a dramatically higher Series A valuation.

10-yr CAGR~19%
02 · MoatCounter-swarm

The counter-swarm wedge.

Swarms defeat one-at-a-time defenses, and the Pentagon's $100M Orchestrator Challenge is explicitly shopping for the intelligence layer — the brain, not another sensor. That layer is what we build. The thesis → Full technology brief in the data room.

Razor & blade.

Hardware deploys once. SaaS, coverage expansion, and support compound with operational tempo. A model finance teams understand.

Comparable defense-tech benchmarks.

How early-stage defense platforms have been priced. Seed caps grow fast once the first DoD contract lands — the Volantyx $15M cap is structured to reward the earliest partners accordingly.
