You know us for measuring your space. Here's what that data can show you before you make a decision.

A consultant's recommendation is often built from an HR roster, a floor plan, and industry benchmarks. That's a reasonable starting point, but it can't see how your people actually use your building, room by room, hour by hour. We can.

What we typically find

Three patterns that show up in almost every teardown.

Attendance is assumed, not measured.

Space plans often start with a headcount and an assumed show-up rate. Sensors tend to tell a different story about who's actually there.

The space mix is off, not the total.

Portfolios often carry the wrong ratio of room types long before they run short on square footage, allowing for targeted design changes.

A snapshot goes stale fast.

A plan built once can't see the next headcount shift or policy change. A plan that recalculates can.

Case study

A grocery retailer's corporate real estate team was told they needed more space.

Their consultant worked from an HR roster and a set of floor plans. We worked from 4.5 months of the retailer's own occupancy data, hourly, across both buildings.

A second opinion at every level

Wherever the recommendation lives, we can check it against reality.

RIGHT-SIZING

How much space

Test a lease or expansion recommendation against measured demand before you commit the budget.

STACK PLANNING

Who goes where

Validate a relocation or team-stacking plan against real adjacency and usage patterns, not org-chart guesses.

DESIGN

How to build it

Check a room-mix or layout plan against how people actually meet, focus, and move through your building.

You don't need sensors everywhere to get a real answer.

We connect the signals your building already generates, then use the Large Spatial Model to fill the gaps.

Badge data — entry and floor-level presence you already collect.

WiFi and video conferencing — connection and meeting signals across your existing systems.

Meridian — calibrated on 250M+ sq ft, forecasts how uninstrumented spaces are likely used.

We'll check it against your real occupancy data before you commit the budget. No sensors required to start.
