What guides us
Three rules.
For the service since 2019, and now for the station.
Method
The service first, then the station
A paid service since 2019, a first working prototype in August 2026 and a first workplace trial in October 2026.
Materials
Recharge rather than rebuy
95% of the batteries delivered to our largest client came back for recharging, from 2019 to 2025.
See the proofMeasurement
Count every battery
Delivered batteries counted at every visit, and a station designed to record every exchange. What gets counted gets reported.
Pilot
We are now choosing the first pilot sites.
Film sets, studios and event sites. Also: hospitals, campuses, large employers. Limited spots, applications open.
