WEATHERVANE LABS LLC — SBIR Phase I award from Department of Commerce.
Phase I SBIR feasibility signal
- Phase I awards fund proof-of-concept work. For capture teams, they mark early interest from Department of Commerce in a technical approach.
- Watch for Phase II follow-ons from the same firm/topic family — that conversion path is where budgets and transition pressure rise.
- Obligated amount $150,000. Cross-check similar awards in the same agency and technology tags for going-rate context.
- Topic code 9.2 links this award to a solicitation family — search the same topic stem for incumbents and recompete timing.

Description
In this Phase I project, we will demonstrate proof-of-concept for Climatize™, a cloud-based software platform with the novel capability to determine and deliver user-specific thermal comfort information for weather-ready decision-making. People and organizations in a Weather-Ready Nation adapt to weather changes and environmental events with resilience. A challenge of building a Weather-Ready Nation is delivering messages that are consistent and meaningful based on users’ unique physiology, psychology, behavior, and location. For the first time, outdoor enthusiasts and workers will receive weather forecasts personalized through the lens of thermal comfort, the state of mind and sensation associated with the thermal environment. This shift in perspective surpasses hyperlocal forecasts by putting each consumer at the center of the weather universe. Climatize has the potential to unlock valuable benefits consistent with NOAA’s long-term goals, objectives, and science and technology focus areas, such as new opportunities for citizen science, reduced injury and loss of life, a more productive economy, and more resilient communities adaptive to their environment."
