Definitions

Engaged – Interactive with shared goals and mutual participation.

Early-stage – From concept and pre-investment to pre-revenue to launch and early sales.

Success –  Sustainable revenue with positive P/L with defensible plans for growth, revenue and exit.

Security –  Data-error detection and correction and use hi-rel data comm servers/channels.  Realized with embedded encryption through the proprietary Tunnel-Layer Security (T-L Secure^TM ) and non-use of means such as sms text, email servers/channels and non-secured IoT. 

Reliability – Self-healing data monitoring networks and self-healing controls connections.  Environmental design for extremes of temperature, humidity and ingress pressure. IP67 packaging.

Robust –  Reliability under extreme conditions. Interference is minimized by frequency-hopping spread-spectrum COTS wireless data nodes that are encrypted and self-healing.  IP67 packaging for extreme environments.  Wired data nodes are T-L Secure^TM .  User-settable alarms and alerts to specific process operating data and control responses. 

Responsiveness –  This is 1.) the time-latency between Zone data and User display and 2.) the time latency between User Control action and Zone actuator response. VERDANT data and control channels have a measured average of less than ½ second latency.  Control actions in the Zone are realized in less than 1 second.   (SMS text, email and standard IoT are notoriously undependable wrt time latency)
