Overview #
Crop Risk Score summarizes multiple stress signals into a clear, comparable indicator for each field.
The score highlights where conditions are trending unfavorably so agronomists, insurers, lenders, and buyers can intervene early and prioritize site visits.
What the score reflects #
- Vegetation condition — consistency and level of greenness over time (satellite time series).
- Weather exposure — heat, cold, drought, and excess rainfall anomalies during critical stages.
- Season timing — deviations from expected sowing, emergence, flowering, and harvest windows.
- Field context — multi‑year behavior of the same parcel (stability vs. recurring stress).
Output is provided as Low / Medium / High risk (and, optionally, a 0–100 score) with the current status and recent trend.
What you get #
- Field‑level risk layer suitable for web maps and dashboards.
- Weekly updates through the growing season.
- Parcel summaries with the latest score, 4‑week trend, and short note on dominant drivers (e.g., “persistent water deficit”).
- Regional roll‑ups for monitoring programs and portfolio views.
Uses #
- Insurance: triage claims, focus verification on high‑risk parcels, and track event footprints.
- Lending & input credit: portfolio monitoring and early‑warning on borrowers’ fields.
- Procurement & logistics: estimate shortfalls and redirect sourcing before harvest.
- Advisory services: prioritize extension visits and tailor recommendations by risk level.
Delivery #
- Formats: GeoJSON/CSV per parcel; raster tiles for maps.
- Cadence: weekly during season; monthly off‑season (configurable).
- Integration: simple IDs for joining with your parcel registry.
Notes #
- Scores are comparable within a region and crop where the same configuration is applied.
- Historical baselines and calendars should be reviewed when adopting the product in a new area.
