Predict the fire.
Before it forms.

ElectricIQ is engineered to identify pre-ignition electrical-state behavior using data already produced by utilities, OEM equipment, building systems, and commercial infrastructure — the world's first patented, software-only predictive electrical fire safety method.

The Problem

Every method today reacts. ElectricIQ is engineered to predict.

The entire prior art universe — AFCI breakers, GFCI outlets, smart plugs, thermal cameras — is engineered to respond after a dangerous condition already exists. ElectricIQ is the first method designed to intervene before it does.

Reactive

AFCI Breakers

Trip when arc fault current is already flowing. The dangerous condition has already formed by the time intervention occurs.

Reactive

GFCI Outlets

Interrupt ground fault current after it reaches a dangerous threshold. Reactive by design — they measure a problem, not a precursor.

Reactive

Smart Plugs

Alert on excessive load or temperature. Both conditions indicate a failure already in progress — not one approaching.

Reactive

Thermal Cameras

Detect heat signature. Heat means the risk event has already begun — thermal imaging monitors an outcome, not a trajectory.

ElectricIQ is designed to analyze electrical-state behavior from existing infrastructure to identify pre-ignition signatures — days to weeks before dangerous conditions form.

How It Works

A predictive method. Not a device.

ElectricIQ is engineered to operate entirely in software. It requires no sensors, no installed hardware, and no field deployment. The method is designed to read, analyze, score, and enable upstream action — using data that already exists.

01

Read What Already Exists

ElectricIQ is designed to read electrical-state data already produced by utilities, OEM equipment, BMS/SCADA systems, and commercial infrastructure. No new data streams. No new devices.

02

Identify Pre-Ignition Patterns

The patented method is engineered to identify pre-ignition electrical-state patterns — subtle deviations that appear days to weeks before heat, arcing, or smoke. Pattern recognition at the method layer, not the hardware layer.

03

Generate the IQ-Score

ElectricIQ is designed to generate a predictive risk score — the IQ-Score — a compliance-grade indicator of ignition likelihood derived entirely from electrical-state behavior, not sensor readings.

04

Enable Upstream Action

Once licensed, utilities, OEMs, insurers, and property operators would use the IQ-Score to take upstream action before dangerous conditions form. ElectricIQ is engineered to enable operators to intervene before ignition pathways develop.

Response Pathway

One signal. Two ways to act.

ElectricIQ is engineered as a software-only decision layer. Its method is designed to interpret electrical behavior, generate a compliance score, and issue a response signal. How that signal would be used is configurable.

Standard

Human Decision-Maker

In a standard configuration, the signal is designed to be delivered to a human decision-maker — an operator, underwriter, or building manager — who determines what action to take.

Advanced · Optional

Automated Infrastructure Response

In an advanced configuration, the same signal is designed to integrate with infrastructure that already has its own actuation capability — such as smart breakers, BMS-controlled relays, SCADA-connected disconnects, or utility-owned switching equipment — to enable automated response if no human intervenes.

ElectricIQ does not perform physical actions. It is designed to provide the decision logic that would authorize a response through systems that are already built to execute it. This keeps ElectricIQ fully software-only, hardware-agnostic, and aligned with its method claims.

The IQ-Score

One number. Before the event.

A predictive risk score derived from electrical-state behavior — not from sensors or hardware. The IQ-Score is designed to be a compliance-grade signal that gives operators interpretable, actionable intelligence before any reactive method would trigger.

No sensors. No hardware. No installation. Just the method that changes everything.

Competitive Position

The only method that predicts.

Every prior approach in the electrical safety space is reactive by design. ElectricIQ is engineered to establish the first patented position in the predictive method layer — the gap no existing approach addresses.

Upstream reach across every vertical.

Because ElectricIQ is a software method — not a device — it is designed to integrate directly into the infrastructure, systems, and operations of every industry that runs on electricity. Wherever electrical-state data is already being produced, ElectricIQ is engineered to deliver predictive intelligence.

Utilities

AMI & Grid-Edge Data

Utility Advanced Metering Infrastructure already produces the electrical-state data ElectricIQ is designed to read. The method is engineered to deliver predictive fire risk intelligence at scale — without new field hardware or additional data streams.

Commercial Buildings

BMS / SCADA

Building management and SCADA systems in offices, hospitals, and commercial facilities provide the existing data layer. ElectricIQ is designed to add a predictive risk signal where only reactive monitoring exists today.

Industrial Facilities

High-Current Systems

High-current industrial environments already monitor electrical state through existing SCADA and control infrastructure. ElectricIQ is engineered to deliver the predictive method layer these environments do not have.

Data Centers

PDU / UPS Telemetry

Power distribution and UPS systems in data centers generate continuous electrical-state telemetry. ElectricIQ is designed to apply the method at that layer to deliver ignition risk intelligence across critical infrastructure.

OEM Equipment

Embedded Firmware

Appliance, panel, inverter, and device manufacturers can embed the ElectricIQ method at the firmware layer — delivering predictive fire prevention as a native capability in new and existing OEM equipment.

Insurance

Predictive Underwriting

The IQ-Score is designed to create a new input for property and casualty underwriting — a real-time, location-specific electrical fire risk signal that no existing data source or safety standard provides.

IP Estate

A filed method patent. No prior art.

ElectricIQ holds a filed utility patent covering the predictive method for identifying pre-ignition electrical-state behavior and generating a risk score from existing infrastructure data. No prior art holds a comparable method-layer predictive position.

Confirmation# 7855

Software-Method Patent

A method claim — not a hardware or device claim. The IP position covers the predictive approach itself, enabling broad licensing across industries, verticals, and deployment contexts without physical constraint.

No Competing Prior Art in Predictive Layer

Every existing electrical safety patent covers reactive detection. No prior filing establishes a patent position in the predictive method layer ElectricIQ occupies.

Hardware-Agnostic by Design

ElectricIQ is engineered to use electrical-state data already available in modern infrastructure. The method applies across utilities, OEMs, building systems, and insurers — without sensors, devices, or installation.
