The platform
The Micro-Climate Intelligence System
MCIS turns street-level sensor data into plain-language guidance for your journey — telling you what to do, not what the readings say.
What MCIS does
Not a monitoring tool. A guidance system.
Most environmental platforms show you data and leave you to interpret it. MCIS does something different — it interprets the data for you, compares it to what is normal for that specific street, and tells you what to do in plain language.
You enter where you are and where you are going. MCIS checks conditions along your route and at your destination, then delivers a single, clear guidance card. No numbers. No graphs. Just practical advice for the journey you are about to make.
What MCIS is
A journey-based environmental intelligence system that delivers plain-language guidance based on validated, street-level sensor data.
What MCIS is not
A health diagnostic tool. A forecasting service. A raw data dashboard. MCIS does not assess health risk or make medical claims of any kind.
How it works
From postcode to guidance card in seconds.
1
Enter your journey
Tell MCIS your home postcode and your destination. Add a profile if you have a child with a respiratory condition.
2
We map the route
MCIS identifies sensors along your route and at your destination. It knows which streets to check and when.
3
We check against baseline
Every reading is compared to 90 days of historical data for that specific location — not a city average. What is normal here, right now?
4
You get a guidance card
One card. Plain language. Practical advice. What to wear, when to leave, which route to take, what to watch out for.
Example guidance cards
🏫
School run · this morning
Home → St Mary's Primary
Take the quieter route via Elm Road today. Leave before 08:15. Pack your child's inhaler — conditions near the school gate are mildly elevated this morning.
Leave by 08:15Via Elm Road

Your street · good morning
Daily briefing · 07:30
A decent morning to open your windows. Conditions outside are better than they have been this week. Good time to ventilate before the day warms up.
Good for ventilationBetter than usual
🏃
Running route · this evening
Home → Seafront · 6pm
Good evening for a run. The seafront route is clear. Conditions are comfortable and well within normal range. No specific precautions needed today.
Comfortable conditions
What MCIS monitors
Six types of environmental intelligence — all translated into plain language.
MCIS never shows you the underlying readings. Each of the six intelligence categories is translated into a single practical guidance statement you can act on immediately.
Comfort
How the outdoor environment actually feels — temperature, humidity, wind, and solar exposure combined.
"Conditions feel warm and humid this afternoon — lighter clothing advisable."
Exposure
Whether conditions on your route mean a longer or shorter contact time with environmental stressors.
"Air is moving well today — exposure on your route is lower than usual."
Heat stress
Whether environmental conditions are likely to make physical exertion or prolonged outdoor time harder than normal.
"Avoid strenuous outdoor activity between 12 and 3pm today."
Air quality
Whether the air on your route is better or worse than normal for that specific location at this time of day.
"Air near the school gate is busier than usual this morning — walk the back route."
Ventilation
Whether air is circulating well — relevant for when to open windows, when to stay inside, or which route feels fresher.
"Good morning to ventilate your home — air is moving well outside."
Environmental resilience
How quickly a street or area recovers after a stressful environmental event — important for planning, not daily decisions.
"This area tends to stay warm longer than surrounding streets after hot days."
Built for
The same intelligence. Delivered differently to each audience.
Parents & carers
Know before you leave the house.
For families with children who have asthma or other respiratory conditions, MCIS provides a daily briefing for your street and a journey check every time you head out. No numbers — just whether today is a better or harder day, and what to do about it.
🏫
School run · this morning
Home → St Mary's Primary · Depart 08:00
Take the quieter back route today. Conditions near the main gate are a little more uncomfortable than usual at drop-off time. The playground should be fine by mid-morning.
Back route recommended
Playground OK by 10am

Local authorities
Street-level evidence for borough-level decisions.
MCIS gives councils validated environmental intelligence formatted for the reports and decisions they already make — planning applications, housing assessments, public health planning, and net-zero reporting.
NHS & public health
Place-based intelligence for population health.
MCIS connects environmental conditions to the communities and patients NHS teams serve — identifying streets and areas where conditions consistently fall outside normal ranges, without making clinical claims.

Insurance providers
Validated environmental evidence for claims and underwriting.
Insurance companies face a growing challenge — weather-related claims are rising, but national weather data cannot verify what conditions were like at a specific address on a specific day. MCIS provides street-level validated environmental records that are timestamped, confidence-scored, and auditable.
Housing providers
Duty of care, met with evidence.
MCIS gives landlords and housing providers a validated environmental record for their properties — useful for tenant communication, duty-of-care documentation, and informing retrofit and maintenance decisions.

Your sector
If your organisation makes decisions that depend on local environmental conditions, MCIS can help.
Get in touch →A note on data licensing
The validated historical micro-climate dataset that MCIS accumulates over time is itself a commercial asset. Academic institutions, urban planners, and climate researchers can access it through a formal data licensing arrangement. If your organisation needs longitudinal street-level environmental data for research or analysis, contact us to discuss access terms.
Responsible by design
What MCIS will and will not claim.
MCIS is built with a formal governance framework and a published non-claims register. Every output is grounded in validated data and bounded by what the system can responsibly say.
We advise, we don't diagnose
MCIS describes conditions and suggests practical actions. It does not assess health risk, make medical claims, or determine whether conditions are safe or dangerous. That boundary is non-negotiable.
Context before conclusion
Every guidance card is grounded in 90 days of location-specific baseline data. MCIS never interprets a reading in isolation — it always compares it to what is normal for that specific street at that specific time.
Honest about uncertainty
When sensor data is limited, incomplete, or degraded, MCIS reflects that rather than guessing. Every output carries a traceable confidence level.
