Summerfield Technologies builds software for defence, government and emergency services. It puts many public information sources on one shared map, so the team working an incident sees the same picture.

What we do
Who it is for
For programme offices, planners and analysts who need one picture built from public sources, with the source and reliability of every item shown. Think of a team supporting an earthquake response, where reports arrive from different publishers and do not always agree.
For incident commanders, duty officers and emergency managers. A team marks an area once, and the software raises an alert in the workspace when a new item from the sources is located inside it. Think of a wildfire reported near a town, with official alerts arriving from several publishers.
For the room an incident is run from. Each entry in a case record records who added it, and every event rests on a source. Think of a long incident where the next shift needs to know who added what, and where it came from.
How the work works
Many public sources go onto one shared map. Every item names where it came from and how reliable that source is, so a person can check it before acting.
An event cannot be added to a case record without the source it rests on. Each entry in a case record records who added it. Every file is fingerprinted when it arrives, so a later change to the file can be detected.
On request, AI drafts a written briefing on what is on the map. It is a draft for a person to check. The software does not decide who a person is.
How we build
Nothing gets built until it is written down: what it does, what it will not do, and how anyone will know whether it worked.
Automatic tests run first. Then one person reads the result. A check that is not allowed to stop a release is just decoration.
AI drafts and people decide. No release goes out on a machine's say-so.
We are designing the software to be used alongside the systems a team already runs, not to replace them. Defence companies and integrators looking for a partner on part of a larger solution can talk to us about teaming.
