Real estate and workplace teams are making multi-million-dollar decisions right now about spaces they haven't measured.
Whether to grow or consolidate, whether a floor can absorb a new team, whether to renew a lease: these are some of the most expensive and hard-to-reverse calls your team makes, and you are making them in buildings where you have never had measurement to tell you whether the decision will actually work the way you are betting it will.
The truth is that you are never going to measure every square foot of your portfolio. So the decision about Building A gets made on gut feel and rough proxies, even though Building B right down the road is measured, and the people in it work similarly to those you're planning for.
So what if you could take everything you already know about how your people use space in Building B, and use it to plan Building A?
That's why VergeSense created Portable Profiles.
We take how your people actually use your space in a measured building and turn it into a profile you can carry into a plan for another building. Now that office you never measured is planned around how your own people really behave. You right-size it, reconfigure it, or plan its capacity with a forecast grounded in your company and context.
With Portable Profiles, you finally get the full value of the measurement you already paid for. One measured building stops being a single data point and starts sharpening decisions across your entire portfolio. You get to plan confidently everywhere, without having to wire up everything to get there.
If that sounds obvious, it's worth asking why no one has done it before, and that’s because the design of a space changes how people behave inside it.
Give people more conference rooms, for example, and they tend to hold more meetings. So you cannot simply copy "how Building B was used" onto Building A, because you would be carrying over Building B's walls, not how your people behave.
To build a profile that actually travels, we had to separate the two: the unique way your employees work from the behavior the building itself was inducing.
Pulling those two apart is only possible if you have seen enough workplaces to know which is which. That is what VergeSense’s Large Spatial Model does. It’s trained on more than 250 million square feet of real workplace behavior, the largest behavioral dataset in the industry, and it is what lets us tell your people's patterns apart from the patterns their building imposes on them.
