Clado builds the modeling infrastructure that connects hydraulic data, site intelligence, and funding requirements — so the right green infrastructure gets built in the right neighborhoods, faster.
Combined sewer overflows. Flash flooding in neighborhoods that never used to flood. Green infrastructure that works in pilot programs but never scales.
The problem isn't that cities lack political will or funding. The problem is a missing infrastructure layer — the modeling, siting, and performance projection tools that turn green infrastructure from a concept into a fundable, buildable plan.
Without defensible hydraulic models and siting scores, engineers can't make the case to funders. Without funding, nothing gets built. And the communities at the end of the pipe keep flooding.
Clado is building a digital twin and modeling platform that connects the fragmented data, workflows, and stakeholders standing between a green infrastructure idea and a funded, sited, built project. Think of it as the observability layer for urban stormwater — surfacing what's happening underground so cities and engineers can act with precision and confidence.
Connect hydraulic, topographic, soil, and land-use data into unified drainage models. Understand what each watershed can hold — and what it will cost to get there.
Score candidate sites by flood risk, upstream drainage area, soil infiltration, infrastructure age, and equity indicators. Move from candidate list to defensible recommendation in hours, not months.
Generate performance models that meet EPA compliance standards, satisfy state revolving fund requirements, and unlock federal climate infrastructure grants — so projects move from plan to funded.
You're managing aging combined sewer systems, EPA consent decree timelines, and community pressure to do more with less. You need tools that make the case — not just for green infrastructure in theory, but for this project, this site, this budget.
Your clients need defensible performance data and funding documentation. Your teams spend weeks wrangling shapefiles and building one-off models that can't be reused. Clado gives you a repeatable workflow that produces better outputs faster.
The science is settled: green infrastructure reduces flood risk, improves water quality, cools cities, and builds community resilience. The gap is not proof. The gap is workflow — the modeling, siting, and funding infrastructure that gets a proven solution from concept to construction.
When that gap closes, the impact compounds. Projects move faster. Funding unlocks. And communities that have absorbed generations of flood damage finally get infrastructure built for them, not around them.
Integrated modeling reduces the feasibility-to-funding gap from years to months.
Scoring algorithms that surface underserved, flood-vulnerable communities — not just the easiest sites to build.
Each project generates data that improves every future model — building a resilience knowledge base for cities over time.
We're talking to municipal engineers, stormwater planners, and GI consultants to understand where the workflow really breaks down. 15 minutes. No pitch. Just questions.
