Built a new drift forecasting platform and would love feedback from the maritime / SAR / marine tech crowd.

We’ve been building a drift forecasting tool called Aldadrift for use cases like SAR, man overboard, oil spills, and debris tracking.

The workflow is simple: enter last known position and time, and it produces a probabilistic forecast of where the target may be now and where it may drift next.

We’re aiming for something more accessible and faster to use than traditional tools, with web access, an API, GIS exports, and pay-as-you-go pricing.

I’d love honest feedback from people here:

  • Is this actually useful for real-world maritime / SAR / spill-response work?
  • What would make you trust or distrust it?
  • For API users, what would you need before integrating something like this?
  • Does usage-based pricing fit this category, or would subscription be better?

Trying to learn where this is genuinely useful versus where it might fall short.
