Products1

Grove

Valthos

Model-agnostic platform that turns sequencing data into biological threat assessments, running in the cloud or on edge hardware; benchmarked on DoW-provided and Los Alamos National Laboratory datasets.

Prototype

Inputs it depends on1

Criticality is how much a shortage would constrain production; open an input for producers, concentration and trade controls.
