The Critical Information Gap
Official Forecasts
INCOIS provides vital warnings based on satellite and sensor data.
Lack of Real-Time Ground Truth
Coastal Communities
First-hand observations are delayed, fragmented, or lost.
Our Solution: A Unified Ecosystem
Hybrid Intelligence Engine
Fuses AI-driven social media analysis with human-verified citizen reports for a complete, reliable view of any coastal event.
Dynamic Trust Scoring
Combats misinformation by automatically assigning a trust score to every report based on reputation, location, and cross-correlation.
Offline-First for the Last Mile
Ensures critical data is never lost. The mobile app is fully functional offline, syncing reports automatically when connectivity returns.

Addressing Key Challenges
Challenge: Data Quality & Misinformation
Mitigation: Our multi-pronged approach of Dynamic Trust Scoring, AI media verification, and a final manual admin review process ensures a high degree of data reliability.
Challenge: Social Media API Limitations
Mitigation: We will employ intelligent, keyword-focused data fetching and robust caching mechanisms to optimize API usage, manage costs, and stay within rate limits.
Challenge: User Adoption in Remote Communities
Mitigation: The app will be gamified, offered in multiple regional languages, and promoted through partnerships with local authorities to build trust and drive adoption.
A Multi-Faceted Positive Impact
