A transparent comparison of core capabilities across wildfire situational awareness platforms, risk providers, and asset intelligence solutions.
The table below summarizes core features and highlights why each one is important for utility real-time operations, safety-driven power shutdown decisions, and long-term wildfire mitigation strategy.
| Capability | PyreCast | Wildfire Risk Platforms | Asset & Vegetation Intelligence |
|---|---|---|---|
| Multiscale Fire & Smoke Modeling Combines climate outlooks with local fire behavior for both long-range planning and minute-to-minute response. | ● | ● | ○ |
| High-Resolution Weather Inputs (WRF) Finely detailed weather data driving fire models for location-specific predictions critical for PSPS timing. | ● | ● | ○ |
| Probabilistic Structure & Asset Risk Probabilities of structure exposure or asset loss — supporting more defensible shutoff calls and smarter investments. | ● | ● | ● |
| Real-Time Data Integration Satellites, drones, IoT sensors continuously updating predictions for faster threat detection and adaptive operations. | ● | ● | ● |
| Ensemble / Uncertainty Outputs Range of possible scenarios (best to worst case) enabling nuanced, risk-aware planning without blind spots. | ● | ● | ○ |
| WUI Fire Simulation Models fire spread into neighborhoods and infrastructure for targeted hardening and de-energization planning. | ● | ● | ○ |
| Fire-Smoke Coupling & Air Quality Predicts smoke spread and air quality impacts for evacuation planning, crew safety, and public health coordination. | ● | ○ | ○ |
| Open Data & Transparent Models Visible science and open datasets that boost credibility with regulators and stakeholders. | ● | ○ | ○ |
The only platform built on fully transparent, peer-reviewed science. Competitors rely on proprietary black-box models that can't be independently validated.
From de-energization planning to real-time operations and pre/post-event analysis — tailored for utility wildfire mitigation at strategic and tactical levels.
The only solution offering multiscale fire + smoke modeling, WUI simulation, ensemble outputs, AND air quality forecasts in one integrated platform.
Mission-driven pricing enables utilities of all sizes to deploy cutting-edge forecasting without compromising other critical mitigation investments.
