# Spherelevel

*/Startups/Spherelevel*

## Startup Overview

This system resolves digital twin telemetry into unified coordinate graphs. It ingests environmental and operational data from disparate physical assets and maps the feeds into a single continuous spatial relationship model. Engineers query a cohesive graph rather than parsing isolated sensor logs to track physical asset states.

Facilities operators and hardware integrators manage fragmented IoT environments where telemetry lacks physical context. Instead of maintaining brittle custom integration scripts that break when new hardware is deployed, teams use this routing layer to pin sensor outputs directly to physical asset coordinates. The engine automatically reconciles conflicting data formats from independent hardware networks.

Enterprise alternatives like Azure Digital Twins and AWS IoT TwinMaker force users into rigid modeling schemas and expensive baseline infrastructure overhead. This architecture runs natively schema-agnostic, absorbing raw telemetry without requiring upfront spatial modeling or data translation. Priced strictly by active data streams, it enables operators to scale massive sensor networks without paying for idle nodes or fixed compute tiers.

## Startup Offer

**Proof**:
- Targeting smart building operators to unify HVAC and occupancy streams without custom integration scripts.
- Aiming to help manufacturing integrators map unknown factory sensor payloads to unified graphs 80% faster.
- Designed to allow robotics fleets to query spatial coordinates across thousands of active sensors in real time.
**Tiers**:
- Name: Developer Node · Price: ~$100–$250/mo · Inclusions: Up to 50 active telemetry streams, schema-agnostic ingestion endpoint, and standard coordinate graph resolution for testing and pilots.
- Name: Production Fabric · Price: ~$800–$2,500/mo · Inclusions: Up to 1,000 active telemetry streams, sub-second graph update latency, API query access, and standard SLA guarantees.
- Name: Enterprise Grid · Price: ~$15k–$40k/yr base · Inclusions: Up to 10,000 active baseline streams, custom VPC deployment options, advanced access controls, and prioritized telemetry ingestion routing.
**Guarantee**: If Spherelevel cannot successfully resolve your unformatted telemetry schema into a queryable coordinate graph within 14 days of initial ingestion, we will refund your current month's active stream charges.
**Business Function**: ProvideService
**Objection Handlers**:
- Objection: Our IoT devices output proprietary, nested JSON payloads that break standard parsers. Rebuttal: Spherelevel is natively schema-agnostic and uses structural pattern inference to map undocumented payloads into the coordinate graph without manual pre-configuration.
- Objection: High-frequency telemetry ingestion will become too expensive at scale. Rebuttal: Spherelevel prices strictly by the number of active data streams, not per event or per gigabyte, keeping costs predictable regardless of sensor ping frequency.
- Objection: We already have Azure Digital Twins and AWS IoT TwinMaker available in our cloud environments. Rebuttal: Both require rigid, upfront schema definitions before data can flow; Spherelevel ingests raw telemetry immediately and builds the graph organically.
