Harvora™ · Vision2026 · Our direction

We forecast your block.
Then we price the risk.

The future Harvora is building is closer to the ground: an intelligence layer that remembers each block, translates uncertainty into consequence and gets sharper every season.

The future is a field with a memory.

Harvora should feel less like opening a tool and more like continuing a conversation with the land. It should know what changed, what mattered and what the last season taught us, then make the next uncertain decision easier to see.

signalmemorydecision
Field memory01 → 02 → 03

Each season adds another layer of context.

01
REMEMBER

A model that lives with the orchard

Every season leaves evidence behind. The next decision should begin with what this block has already taught us, not with a blank forecast.

02
INTERROGATE

Uncertainty that can be questioned

A probability is only useful when its range, its reason and its consequence are visible. Harvora should be able to argue both ways in plain English.

03
EXTEND

Intelligence that reaches the field

Public data gets us to the block. The next layer brings the ground, canopy and microclimate into the same living picture.

Compounding seasonal intelligence

Every season should leave the next one better informed.

The decision surface

A recommendation should arrive with its reasoning attached.

Prediction → consequence → call

Frost · Block 4

Cherries · Lapins · 3.2 ha · Tuesday night

High confidence

Predicted minimum −1.4 °C. A 70% probability of breaching your damage threshold. 80% confidence interval: −0.8 °C to −2.1 °C.

Expected loss if you don’t protectNZ$14,200
Cost of running the fansNZ$380
Net expected benefit of actingNZ$13,820

Recommended: run wind machines from 11pm to 4am. Ask Harvora why, and it walks you through the cost-loss maths, which models agree, and how this block behaved the last time conditions looked like tonight.

Build the thing you want to trust at 10pm.

The technology can be complex. The relationship with the grower cannot be.

05 rulesFor a system worth trusting
01 / CARE
HARVORA™

Manaakitanga

A frost night is not a data problem. It is a grower awake at 2am, a crew rung before dawn, and a call that gets defended to a family and a bank in the morning. Harvora is built for that room: growers, crews and the land are all part of the brief. If a screen does not change what someone does before sunrise, it has no reason to exist.

Judged on the night, not the dashboard

02 / GUARD
HARVORA™

Kaitiakitanga

Your block’s history is yours. We do not sell it, fold it into someone else’s product, or use it to price you. And a sharper decision should show up as restraint: a frost fan that never ran, a spray that was not needed, diesel still in the tank come morning.

Your data leaves with you if you leave

03 / MEASURE
HARVORA™

Calibration honesty

A 70% that is right seven times in ten beats a confident number that is right half the time. So the scoreboard stays in the open: every eligible outcome is checked against what actually happened, while unsupported predictions remain marked as awaiting validation.

Eligible predictions are scored; unsupported ones stay visible

04 / RETURN
HARVORA™

Grower empowerment

Harvora does the arithmetic nobody has time for at 10pm: a thousand simulated seasons, each one priced. What it cannot know is that the southern corner always goes first, or that the crew is two people short this week. So it hands over the number and stops. The call belongs to whoever has to live with it.

Nothing acts on the orchard by itself

05 / ARRIVE
HARVORA™

Timing is the product

An answer that lands after the fans should have started is not late, it is worthless. Everything here is built backwards from the moment of the decision: on the phone while there is still time to act, not in a report that explains the loss the next morning.

In hand before the decision, or it does not count

Our vision

A field that can explain itself.

Not a black box. Not another layer of noise. A living record of the land, the uncertainty and the call, becoming more useful every time the season asks a difficult question.

What changed

Weather, ground and canopy signals enter the record.

What mattered

The block keeps the evidence from each season.

What to do next

Uncertainty becomes a clear, priced call.

The point: a system that can tell you what changed, what it learned, and why the next call follows.
