For agri-input & agritech platforms
Why it matters to you
Your platform, a new layer. You have grower relationships and a digital surface; what you typically lack is a validated yield/price-prediction layer with a real-time farmer-sentiment moat. CropIntel slots in as that layer, UK-first.
A UK foothold with proof. Rather than build UK arable intelligence from zero, acquire a working system with a public 62.3% walk-forward record and a curated practitioner corpus that's already mapped to DEFRA regions.
Extends across your portfolio. The methodology generalises, the acquisition includes the engine and the approach, not just today's UK wheat numbers, so it can be extended to other crops and geographies on your platform.
The value, concretely
Sizing the edge
What it's worth to you: a differentiated UK intelligence module your competitors can't quickly replicate (the corpus and track record take calendar time) lifts retention and ARPU across a grower base of thousands. On a platform of that scale, even a point or two of retention is a multi-year, seven-figure asset, worth far more owned than rented as a feed each year. Illustrative of the value at stake, not a guarantee.
See it for yourself
- Today's per-region call, the live signal, no login.
- Track record, 62.3% walk-forward, fully public, independently auditable.
- Case studies, 2019 (8/9 correct), 2023 (6/6), 2018 (the honest miss).
- Methodology, what the model uses, without the secret sauce.
Questions
Acquire or integrate?
Acquire the system outright with full IP assignment, then integrate it into your platform and extend it. See /the-opportunity.

Is it UK-only?
Today, yes, UK wheat, eleven DEFRA regions. The methodology generalises; extending to other crops/geographies is roadmap, and yours to direct post-acquisition.

What would we be acquiring?
The model, methodology, curated corpus, public track record, codebase and brand. Talk to us.

Acquire the system
The live signal is public. What's not public is the engine, the curated UK arable practitioner corpus, and the methodology behind the 62.3%: the defensible IP. The whole system is available to acquire by a strategic buyer, with full IP assignment. See the opportunity, or email alastair@hurricane.works.
