# Archaster Labs

> Nature intelligence and satellite analysis software for teams that source from the living world.

## What We Do

Archaster Labs provides decision-grade environmental intelligence by combining:
- Live satellite imagery analysis (Sentinel-2, 5-day revisit cycle)
- Biodiversity data across 9 functional groups (pollinators, predators, soil organisms, etc.)
- Deforestation monitoring with near-real-time alerts and buffer zone analysis
- 40 years of surface water history from JRC
- AI-powered analysis grounded in circular economy and regenerative design frameworks

## Primary Use Cases

1. **Supply chain monitoring** — Track environmental changes across hundreds of sourcing sites
2. **ESG reporting** — Decision-grade data for sustainability disclosure
3. **Biodiversity assessment** — Understand ecological health of procurement regions
4. **Deforestation risk** — Near-real-time alerts with 500m and 2km buffer analysis
5. **Water resource intelligence** — Track seasonal patterns and permanent changes
6. **Material Selection & ESPR Readiness** — Evaluate the "ecological fit" of materials using an AI grounded in circular economy and regenerative design. 
7. **ESPR readiness** - Nature Intelligence for DPP & ESPR — Generate verifiable environmental statements for the Digital Product Passport (DPP) and ESPR. By combining location and material data, the AI Co-pilot synthesizes satellite ground-truthing and biodiversity records for DPP content for the "Environmental Footprint" sections of a product's digital identity.

## Regulatory Support
- **ESPR (Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation):** Data for material health, circularity, and environmental footprint assessments.
- **EUDR:** Near-real-time deforestation monitoring and buffer analysis for compliance.
- **CSRD & TNFD:** Decision-grade nature data for sustainability disclosures.

## Digital Product Passport (DPP) Integration
- **Role:** Data & Intelligence Layer. Archaster generates the ecological content for the DPP.
- **Input:** Supplier geolocation + Material and Processing details (e.g., raw material + dyeing, finishing).
- **Output:** AI-synthesized environmental statements cited to 10m-resolution satellite data and 9 functional biodiversity groups.
- **Compliance Alignment:** Directly supports ESPR "Environmental Footprint" and "Provenance" data requirements for priority sectors like textiles.
