Wyvern sells satellite hyperspectral imagery and tasking to organizations monitoring crops, land, infrastructure and security environments.

category

Hyperspectral Earth observation data

market profile

  • text: Hyperspectral imagery measures many narrow bands, enabling analysis of material and environmental characteristics beyond ordinary imagery.
  • text: Buyers can use an imagery archive, task a constellation or evaluate open data for applications across agriculture, energy and other sectors.

personas

  • title: Geospatial analytics or remote sensing lead
    pains:
    • Needs sufficiently detailed spectral data to differentiate materials and monitor changes
    • Must validate calibration, coverage and imagery compatibility with analytical models
  • title: Agriculture intelligence product manager
    pains:
    • Needs early crop stress and disease signals over large areas
    • Must deliver accurate crop classification and yield forecasts to customers
  • title: Energy or environmental monitoring director
    pains:
    • Needs to assess assets and environmental change across remote sites
    • Slow detection and remediation can increase downtime and cost

icp

  • text: Geospatial analytics companies and enterprise remote-sensing teams with the expertise to process spectral imagery.
  • text: Agriculture, forestry, mining and energy organizations monitoring geographically dispersed land or assets.
  • text: Public-sector and security organizations needing imagery for monitoring and identification; suitability depends on mission requirements.

message pillars

  • text: Turn spectral imagery into information for decisions.
  • text: Use data to identify changes and take action.
  • text: Access data through both a taskable constellation and an archive.

objections

  • objection: Will the imagery be suitable for our specific model or geography?
    response: Evaluate representative open or archive data and validate the 31 bands, resolution and calibration against the use case.
  • objection: Can the constellation revisit our area often enough?
    response: Discuss tasking, coverage and delivery requirements with sales before committing to a monitoring workflow.
  • objection: How much does data access cost?
    response: Request a quote for the required area, archive or tasking and compare it with the value of the intended analysis.
