Harvora™ prediction brief

Harvest timing and maturity planning

Harvora projects each block's harvest timing, and it sharpens as the season runs: median timing error is 1.5 days by day 60, down from 4.5 days at day 30, with the uncertainty band covering the regional spread 95.3% of the time.

Direct answer

What this supports

Harvest readiness is reported as days-to-readiness with an uncertainty band, anchored to thermal-time accumulation and each block's own season — a planning date that sharpens weekly, not a promised pick date.

Intended for New Zealand growers, technical partners, lenders and insurers.

Evidence and method

How the signal is formed

Growing-degree-day accumulation is projected forward from observed weather with a Monte Carlo distribution and read against a crop-specific maturity threshold.

Evidence grade: ESTIMATE

Weather-benchmark measured today; every grower outcome logged in the product feeds the field benchmark it is measured against next.

Boundary

How to read this evidence

The measured target is a maturity-threshold crossing, not an actual pick date. Orchard maturity and harvest logs aren't in the field dataset yet — logged harvests are precisely what sharpens this surface from regionally true to block-true.
