Detection lead time
We flag infection months before any visible symptom — while the palm can still be saved.
INTERACTIVE FUNNEL
Five levels — from the whole estate to a single palm
Coverage narrows from top to bottom: whole estate → one palm; the earliest chemical signal at the bottom feeds the entire chain.
01
SatelliteAll-season full-coverage screening; flags suspect zones — radar sees through clouds.
SPEED
Months of lead time, an estate scanned in days
Coverage speed
Satellite scans 100% of the estate every season and in any weather; radar sees through clouds.
Targeting speed
Drones fly only where satellite screening has flagged risk — without a full manual walk of the estate.
MODULAR INSPECTION
Choose the levels for your estate and risk
GDT fuses the data and returns one decision-ready picture — from broad satellite screening to full molecular confirmation.
| Level | What it provides | Coverage |
|---|---|---|
| Satellite screening | Full coverage and risk zones | 100% of the estate |
| Fixed-wing drone | Orthomosaic, indices and risk register | Flagged blocks |
| Rotary-wing drone | Targeted hyperspectral imaging of hotspots | Individual hotspots |
| Ground electronic nose (IoT) | Chemical confirmation (VOC) | Stem base |
| Base laboratory / fusion | Data fusion, report and risk map | Per report |
| Pro molecular | Molecular PCR confirmation of a detection | Per detection |
ECONOMICS PER HECTARE
Value lives in the early window
| Stage | What happens | Stem damage | Crop at risk / ha |
|---|---|---|---|
| Invisible (early) | Underground spread; crown shows no signs | Minimal | Still recoverable |
| Subclinical | Biochemical and VOC signature is detectable | < 40% | Still recoverable |
| Early visible | First crown wilting | 40–80% | Mostly lost |
| Advanced | Fruiting bodies and severe wilting | > 80% | Lost |
| Death | Collapse; inoculum spreads to neighbours | 100% | + spread |
$85–367 · estimateGDT operates in the upper rows — while the palm can still be saved and the loss can still be prevented. On an infected hectare, detection in the recoverable window preserves an estimated $85–367 of crop and stops the fungus moving to healthy neighbours. Figures are estimates and are refined for each estate during the pilot.
COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE
Why it cannot be copied
The cross-modal SWIR↔VOC bridge captures the same pathogen signature through two independent physical methods — optically from the air and chemically at the stem.
SWIROptical signature from the air
↔VOCChemical signature at the stem
One signature — two independent physicsA false positive in one channel is filtered by the other.
Purpose-built sensor specification
Electronic-nose (IoT) sensors are developed to our specification — adapted for early Ganoderma detection rather than general use.
Unreproducible data library
A competitor cannot copy the synchronized multisensor library without owning both sensors and doing years of fieldwork.
