The network

We built the sensors because nothing else measured a room.

Phone signal tells you a suburb. Bookings tell you an intention. Neither tells you whether a room is full at 11:40 on a Thursday.

01 / Why our own

Every other signal answers a different question.

Phone-carrier signal tells you a suburb. Card spend tells you a transaction, hours later. Bookings tell you an intention, which is not the same as a person in a room. Social posts tell you about the small fraction of a night somebody chose to perform.

None of them answer the only question that matters at 11:40 on a Thursday: is this room full? So the measurement layer is ours, end to end — the sensor on the wall, the hub in the building, the backhaul out of it, and the models at the other end.

02 / The chain

Four links, one measurement.

03 / What it measures

Presence, not identity.

This is a hardware constraint, not a setting. There is no mode in which a leaf records an image, a voice or a name, because it has no camera, no microphone and no concept of a person.

By design, it can

  • Count how full a room is, minute by minute
  • Tell a Tuesday apart from a Tuesday with an event on
  • See a crowd arrive, peak and leave
  • Show where a precinct's night moved next, in aggregate

By design, it cannot

  • See or hear anything in the room
  • Attach a reading to a named person or an account
  • Follow one individual from venue to venue
  • Be upgraded into any of the above by a software change
04 / Installing

An afternoon, not a project.

01

Walk the room

We map where the crowd actually stands — bar, floor, smokers' area, queue — and place leaves to match. Most venues need a handful.

02

Mount and power

Leaves are battery powered and adhesive-mounted. No cabling, no ceiling work, no electrician, no closing early.

03

Hub and uplink

One hub per venue on a standard socket, with its own cellular connection. Nothing touches your network.

04

Baseline, then live

The first fortnight establishes your ordinary week. After that the dashboard is reading tonight against your own history, not a city average.

Put it in your venue.
