GhostWind
A rapid-deployment platform that transforms aging windmills and old industrial buildings into living environmental sensors. By installing edge AI devices that detect 'ghost' patterns - invisible microclimate shifts and pollution signatures that indicate ecosystem stress - we help rural communities leapfrog expensive environmental monitoring infrastructure and get real-time alerts about air quality changes, crop threats, and climate risks.
The Wow Moment
A farmer opens the app and sees a 3D visualization of invisible pollution clouds drifting toward their fields - detected 12 hours before any traditional sensor could catch it, traced back to a specific source, with a precise prediction of when it will hit and what crops are at risk. They watch the 'ghost' patterns animate across their land in real-time, something they've never been able to see before.

Revenue: B2B SaaS targeting agricultural cooperatives and rural municipalities at $2,000/month per 50-square-mile coverage area. Hardware sensors provided free with 24-month contract. Initial pilot customers: wine regions (Napa, Bordeaux) where microclimate monitoring is already expensive and critical. First 100 customers secured through partnerships with existing windmill maintenance companies who get 15% commission.
TempleStep
