Navigate risk through spatial intelligence.

Byrd Geospatial builds risk maps, AI workflows, and decision tools for the people who manage what happens on the ground — emergency operations, land management, infrastructure, and the field teams who depend on them.

§ 01 — WHAT WE DO

Three disciplines.
One operational lens.

We don't sell hours. We sell decisions you can defend at 3 a.m. when something's on fire and the radio won't stop.

§ 02 — WHAT YOU CAN COMMISSION

What a Byrd Geospatial deliverable looks like.

Most engagements produce one of these. Each is scoped, fixed-fee, and built to be defended in front of someone who has to make a decision.

  1. 01Risk exposure mapMulti-hazard overlay tuned to your area of operations.
  2. 02Rescue complexity indexTerrain, access, weather, and time fused into a defensible score.
  3. 03Evacuation route modelRoute options ranked by terrain mobility, slope, exposure.
  4. 04Landing zone suitabilityLZ candidates scored on slope, surface, obstacles, approach.
  5. 05Recreation risk dashboardLive risk scoring for trails, sites, and access points.
  6. 06ArcGIS / QGIS automationOne-click workflows that replace 4–6 hours of manual GIS.
  7. 07Claude-assisted pipelineAI in the loop where it earns its keep, not where it doesn't.
  8. 08PostGIS spatial databaseSet up, indexed, and documented for a team that will keep it.
  9. 09Field team map packetPrint- and tablet-ready packets for actual field use.
  10. 10Executive decision briefTwo pages. Maps, deltas, recommendations. Defendable.
§ 03 — FEATURED PRODUCT
CORASv0.4 · ALPHA

Colorado Outdoor Recreation Assessment System.

A risk-scoring engine for trails, recreation sites, access routes, and outdoor systems.

Real-time risk scoring for trails, routes, and recreation assets across Colorado. Wind, slope, fire weather, drought, and incident history fused into a single 0–10 number a ranger or operator can act on.

Built originally to answer one question — "how dangerous is this trail today?" — and now in pilot with land managers, outfitters, and SAR coordinators who need the same answer at scale.

§ 04 — THE BYRD APPROACH

Built by someone who's been in the cabin at 3 a.m.

Byrd Geospatial was started by Jeramy Byrd — a SOF flight paramedic, IDMT/SO with four deployments, and a geographer finishing an MS in GIS & Technology at NMSU. The kind of operational discipline you only get from running calls where the terrain, the weather, and human error are all converging at once.

That lens runs through every product we ship. We don't draw maps to be looked at. We draw maps that get used — by dispatchers, incident commanders, underwriters, and field crews who can't afford a tool that's clever but wrong. Specifics over adjectives. Decisions over decks. AI woven in, not bolted on.

§ 06 — HOW A PROJECT STARTS

The engagement model.

Most engagements start with a 30-minute scope call. The point is to figure out, fast, whether we're the right firm — and whether the work is worth doing.

  1. STEP 01

    Scope call

    30 MIN · NO CHARGE

    We listen for the actual decision you need to defend. No discovery decks.

  2. STEP 02

    Risk assessment

    1–2 WEEKS · FIXED FEE

    Tight, written assessment of the problem, data on hand, and the realistic shape of a solution.

  3. STEP 03

    Engagement

    4–16 WEEKS · SCOPED

    We build, integrate, and stand behind the deliverable. Office hours and field-test cycles included.

  4. STEP 04

    Standing retainer

    OPTIONAL · MONTHLY

    For teams that need a partner on call during fire season, runoff, or whatever the calendar's doing.

§ 07 — START HERE

Have a risk problem worth mapping?
Let's talk.

30 minutes. No deck, no questionnaire. Bring the actual problem and we'll tell you whether it's something we can help with — and whether anyone else can.
