About WaveForm

Start with observation.

WaveForm, from Holmdel Labs, is building geospatial software to help teams inspect places, understand change and trace conclusions back to the observations behind them. Our team combines computer vision and cybersecurity with experience in energy infrastructure, government planning, inspection, auditing and project economics.

Build from the evidence

Infrastructure owners, inspectors and government reviewers need to understand what was observed, when it was captured, what changed and what evidence supports a decision. They also need to understand the limits of that evidence. Those requirements guide the platform we are building.

Track a place through time. Keep its source observations.

We aim to preserve timing and calibration, test accuracy and uncertainty against independent references, and support work where data must stay local.

An independent team

WaveForm is a product of Holmdel Labs, Inc., an independent company building and operating the platform. Saxon Metzger’s field infrastructure practice and institutional experience inform the product and partner conversations.
