Ways to work with us
Custom monitoring programs built around your work
Every engagement is scoped to your land, your team, and the decisions you need to make. A few of the shapes our programs take:
Recurring monitoring & reporting
Consistent coverage. Actionable visibility.
Establish a monitoring program tailored to your sites, priorities, and operational cadence. Whether you need support for annual compliance reporting, portfolio-wide risk screening, or ongoing land stewardship, Upstream Tech delivers recurring monitoring and clear reporting so your team can stay focused on decision-making instead of coordinating data collection and review.
See a sample program →Custom agentic monitoring
AI-powered monitoring configured for your workflows.
Work with our team to deploy a customized monitoring agent tuned to your land, assets, risk profile, and operational priorities. From identifying specific change types to surfacing the highest-priority issues across large portfolios, we help automate monitoring workflows while keeping humans focused on the decisions that matter most.
See a sample program →One-time projects
Targeted support for a specific monitoring need.
Need remote sensing expertise for a discrete project or short-term initiative? Upstream Tech can support diligence efforts, landscape analyses, environmental studies, historical change assessments, and other scoped engagements without requiring your team to build in-house monitoring capacity.

Not seeing what you need? Let's scope it together.
Many of our partnerships start with a unique monitoring challenge. Whether you are exploring a new use case, integrating remote sensing into an existing program, or combining monitoring with analysis and reporting support, our team can work with you to design a customized scope tailored to your goals, timeline, and budget.

Domain specialists
Conservation, carbon, government, utilities — people who've worked in the field you operate in and help design programs with that context in mind.
Lens and Upstream Tech staff are a critical tool for our Family Forest Carbon Program. Their data, people, and platforms helped us identify changes across hundreds of small landowner properties so we can support our landowners and accurately account for forest carbon changes.
