Nyun was founded on a single observation: decisions about salmon survival and hydropower operations in BC were being made without the evidence required to make them well. The data existed, scattered across agencies, operators, First Nations and consultants. The models existed, built and rebuilt on each engagement. The gap was a platform that integrated them continuously, under the right governance, at the speed decisions actually move. BlueGrid bridges that gap.
We build the intelligence infrastructure that connects physical waterways to the people and institutions responsible for managing them — hydropower operators, First Nations co-managers, conservation programs and the regulatory agencies that oversee them. Our platform, BlueGrid, is designed to produce the evidence that makes these decisions defensible, auditable and continuously improving.
The 50% collapse in BC salmon monitoring since the 1980s is not a research problem. It is an infrastructure problem. The population-level knowledge required to manage salmon is no longer being generated consistently across BC watersheds. BlueGrid exists to close that gap at the operational scale where decisions are actually made.
Every number BlueGrid produces is traceable from raw sensor data through the model to the reported result. We do not accept proxy metrics as surrogates for the survival outcomes that actually matter.
Data sovereignty is not a policy position — it is an architectural constraint. TEK held under Nation governance cannot leave that governance layer. This is enforced technically, not contractually.
BlueGrid's models are peer-reviewed, independently validated and built to the evidentiary standards of the regulatory processes they support. We would rather produce fewer results with higher confidence than more results that erode under scrutiny.
