Welcome, Jonathan.
0:23
Thank you very much, Josh.
0:24
Good to be here.
1:17
So I don't know if you want to start with that statistic so we can jump right into it, but looking forward to the conversation.
1:26
Sure, sure.
1:27
Thanks, Josh.

Probably just to help put a bit of context around the state of flood residential report and what we were doing there, flood plans, etc.
1:36
So you mentioned Provisico is in the world of providing flood warnings.

We have,
15:00
what, 40 minutes? I guess the abbreviated answer to that is we've had to do a whole range of things.
15:08
So a big thing about when you are predicting flood is actually looking at the state of um what's called antecedent conditions so in other words what's been happening in the recent past so if there's been a continuous amount of rain over a long period of time that will mean that the ground is therefore already saturated so therefore it's less able to take more water so therefore it's more liable to flood um But similarly, if the ground has been very dry for a long period of time, then again, there's no way for that water to go if it was normally draining off through grass, etc.
15:48
So therefore, you then again exacerbating the flood.
15:51
So looking at the recent conditions and then producing the forecast is a key thing.
15:56
Another thing for us, we've developed the ability to look at back as well as forward so we we run a forecast as i say but actually we also look at the preceding 12 hours and we use what's called radar rainfall which is actually the amount of rainfall that's fallen and then say based upon the amount of rainfall we are predicting that this amount of flooding has already happened So giving people more insight in terms of the state of play on the ground.
16:28
A key area as well that we've recognized is local knowledge.

How do you raise money? How do you scale your solution? But now you mentioned that you had actually a pretty unique situation where you were able to build a business with a specific customer who was ready to become a customer as soon as the solution is ready, which should be something that positions you very strongly for fundraising.
