Tierra, the foundation of life. Labs, the spirit of exploration.
Data science in the service of living economies.
We work with those who make complex decisions and have to prove they work.
Deep territorial understanding, action with accountability
We support land use planning, regional bioeconomy and climate adaptation with data analysis that translates complexity into concrete decisions for technical and policy teams.
Portfolio measurement and direction
We design measurement frameworks, deliver impact analysis and action pathways for funds operating in Latin American supply chains, bioeconomy and decarbonization, among others.
Analysis and reporting for complex interventions
We build measurement methodologies for multi-stakeholder initiatives, from design through results reporting.
Data science for real commitments
We support emissions measurement processes, climate risk analysis and reduction action design with verifiable methodological rigor.

Bioeconomy Propulsor
Multivariable data architecture for agile understanding of the ecosystem and territorial dimensions of Colombian territories. Enables bioeconomy planning: dignified ways of life in harmony with nature.
Territorial climate resilience platform
A platform that connects climate variation models and their direct impact on territories with local leaders, in a fluid, bidirectional communication between local action and climate model. Uses vernacular channels to make technology appropriable. The localized data it generates strengthens the models, enabling civil resilience and institutional planning from within.

Natalia Sánchez Herrera
Fundadora · Directora Ejecutiva
I have spent 15 years developing solutions across sectors as different as the arts, finance and digital. Today, driven by the urgency of the ecological challenge, I work to question the assumptions behind our decisions about territory and society, and to build new answers through creativity and proposition. I believe the harmonious future we seek cannot be improvised: it is built with rigor, imagination and a perspective that does not separate the human from the living world.

Samantha Alfonso Velandia
Co-fundadora · Directora de Investigación
I am an economist and have spent 8 years working in data analysis and research. What drives me most is experimental economics: the idea that models should challenge the rationality assumption, not reproduce it. Today I apply that same rigor to decisions about the natural world and the communities that inhabit it, because I believe they deserve the same analytical sophistication as any other domain.
