Who we work with

Ecuador's most climate-exposed sectors

Ecuador sits at the intersection of Pacific climate systems, Andean topography, and one of the world's strongest ENSO signals. Most critical industries still operate without tools built for local conditions.

Banking & Finance

Climate Risk for Financial Institutions

SB-2022-1212 requires Ecuadorian financial institutions to quantify and disclose climate exposure across loan portfolios. Global models lack the spatial resolution that Ecuador's topography demands.

Modular SARAS-compliant analysis: climate screening, ENSO-informed portfolio stress tests, and CMIP6 scenario modeling — calibrated to Ecuador's station network.

Energy Grid & Operations

Seasonal Forecasting for Grid Operators & Industry

CENACE dispatching, hydroelectric generation planning, and renewable energy development all depend on seasonal climate intelligence. Global reanalysis products miss Ecuador's local variability.

ENSO-informed seasonal forecasting, renewable energy site intelligence, and operational window analysis for grid operators, transmission planners, and logistics networks.

How we deliver

Operational service models

Three service lines, each designed around a specific regulatory or operational decision context.

SARAS — Banking Climate Risk

From screening to stress test

Financial institutions face regulatory pressure to quantify climate exposure but lack locally calibrated data for Ecuador's diverse topography and ENSO variability.

What we deliver

Modular delivery: climate screening → ENSO portfolio analysis → CMIP6 stress tests. Each stage produces a standalone report usable for SB-2022-1212 compliance.

Service levels

  1. 1 Climate exposure screening
  2. 2 ENSO risk portfolio analysis
  3. 3 Stress tests with CMIP6 scenarios

Modeled with verified local station data, not generic global estimates.

Energy Grid & Logistics Intelligence

From climate variability to operational decision

Grid operators, renewable energy developers, and logistics networks face seasonal and interannual variability that directly affects generation capacity, dispatch decisions, and route safety.

What we deliver

Seasonal and ENSO-informed forecasts, site-specific renewable energy assessments, and safe operational window analysis — tailored to your assets and schedule.

Service scope

  • Seasonal and ENSO forecast intelligence
  • Renewable energy site assessment
  • Safe operational window forecasts
  • Technical meteorological advisory

Site-specific resolution, not national-scale estimates.

forECast provides private B2B operational intelligence. Official disaster alerts are the exclusive competence of the State (SGR/INAMHI).

Logistics — Weather Intelligence

From forecast to route control

Road closures, rain delays, and compromised cold chains reduce margins and generate avoidable losses in Ecuadorian ground transport.

What we deliver

Safe operational window forecasts and hyperlocal alerts for specific routes. Not generic weather — resolution tailored to your operation.

Service scope

  • Safe logistics window forecasts
  • Hyperlocal operational alerts
  • Fleet management system integration
  • Technical meteorological advisory

Weather resolution by route and city, not generic national forecasts.

forECast provides private B2B operational intelligence. Official disaster alerts are the exclusive competence of the State (SGR/INAMHI).

Scientific credentials

Why trust forECast

Built by the scientists who ran Ecuador's national forecasting system — and trained at the world's leading climate centers.

Institutional experience

Former coordinators of forecasting and operational alerts at INAMHI — Ecuador's national meteorological authority. We understand this system from the inside.

Published research

Peer-reviewed climate publications and papers under review — on ENSO dynamics, seasonal forecasting, and AI-enhanced nowcasting for tropical climates.

International training

All three founders trained at leading European institutions. Maylee completed a research period at NOAA — the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

Software-first delivery

No IoT hardware. No sensor networks. Only calibrated data, validated models, and actionable intelligence — scalable without physical infrastructure.
