# Ambee Product Vision
Unleashing the power of data
<!-- Put the link to this slide here so people can follow -->
slide: https://slides.com/maddyanand/historical-data/fullscreen
---
We have a collaborative session
please prepare laptop or notebook to start!
---
## Why Ambee?
Ambee designs, builds, and launches earth observation data faster than any company or government in history by using lean, low-cost electronics, data aggregation, ML and design iteration.
---
Our data platform, which make up the world’s largest aggregation of Earth-imaging satellites and on-ground environmental sensors “extract infromation” of various aspects of the planet every hour to provide intelligent, insightful and actionable data. We launch new apis every 3 months
---
Ambee will soon be the world's largest environmental data intelligence platform with the highest constellation of data from earth observatory satellites and not just data, but applications and information that are actionable from it.
---
- Health of the planet is degrading
- Needs disruption, data and observation :muscle:
- We are concerned about it and are driven to make impact :collision:
---
Environment is volatile! Hence needs constant observation.
> “There is no way that we can predict the weather six months ahead beyond giving the seasonal average”
― Stephen Hawking, Black Holes and Baby Universes and Other Essays
---
#### Vision
We are on a mission to improve the health of not just hundreds of millions of people but of the planet itself by building a large cloud data and applications repository and cater to many who are affected by the affect of climate change
---
##### What is our purpose for creating Ambee?
Health of the planet is important for the health of everyone on it. This health has been degrading and climate change is around the corner. Climate change is a risk or a threat to all businesses. Improving planet health and de-risking the climate change to businesses, meet SDG goals, stay ESG compliant and more requires sophisticated monitoring, measuring and managing.
---
##### What changes can it bring about?
It will impact the processes, products and people to mitigate the risk posed by climate change and continue to stay healthier, profitable and most importantly sustainable. It will also impact in fighting climate change.

##### What problem does the product solve? and What is the size of the problem?
$650 Billion and Rising: The Current Cost of Climate Change
source(https://riskandinsurance.com/cost-of-climate-change/)
* $650 billion: the cost of climate disasters in the past three years.
* $415 billion: the cost of those disasters in North America. That’s 0.66 percent of the North American GDP.
* $54 trillion: the potential cost of damages due to global warming by 2040.
---
Billion-dollar disasters are becoming commonplace and risk professionals are concerned: The report comes on the heels of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration reporting that 2018 had 14 disasters causing $1 billion or more — making it the eighth consecutive year with eight or more billion-dollar disasters. The NOAA reported that 2018 was the fourth hottest year on record.

:::info
Meeting minutes: **6th July 2021**
:::
1. Satellite sources and parameters are updated in this PRD. UVIndex and CloudCeiling parameters remain to be updated. <Chandu, Veer>
2. Cost implication of storage and processing will be assessed after 1-2 years of data is ready. <Chandu, Veer>
3. Project Timeline - Veer to confirm if data will be ready as per schedule
4. Pricing will be based on number of actual location points, parameters and time points. We can reevaluate this after gaining more understanding of the expense, customer feedback etc.
5. Validation step towards the end: Download 20 major cities' historical data from OpenWeather and compare.
6. Version 2:
* Temporal resolution to be enhanced by using paid satellite sources and ground stations.
* Algo to decide how to reduce variance if the sources differ, compare with a competitor's data

### Architecture of extension
---
---
## Content script
- Bind with each page
- Manipulate DOM
- Add event listeners
- Isolated JavaScript environment
- It doesn't break things
---
# :fork_and_knife:
---
<style>
code.blue {
color: #337AB7 !important;
}
code.orange {
color: #F7A004 !important;
}
</style>
- <code class="orange">onMessage('event')</code>: Register event listener
- <code class="blue">sendMessage('event')</code>: Trigger event

# :bulb:

- Dead simple API
- Only cares about application logic
---
```typescript
import * as Channeru from 'channeru'
// setup channel in different page environment, once
const channel = Channeru.create()
```
---
```typescript
// in background script
const fakeLogin = async () => true
channel.answer('isLogin', async () => {
return await fakeLogin()
})
```
<br>
```typescript
// in inject script
const isLogin = await channel.callBackground('isLogin')
console.log(isLogin) //-> true
```
