# SAND > Physical AI for Critical Infrastructure ## About SAND builds Symmetri, the Physical AI platform for critical infrastructure. Deployed in 18+ countries across water, energy, telecom, healthcare, and government. Zero mission-critical failures. ## Platform Symmetri is a three-layer operating system: Sense (telemetry integration), Analyze (consequence modeling), Act (autonomous decision support). Designed for rapid deployment in weeks, not months. ## Key Frameworks - Autonomy Levels: 4-stage decision automation framework (Human Required → Assisted → Supervised → Full Automation). Scored on consequence severity, model confidence, reversibility, decision frequency. - Consequence Models: Structured representation of how interventions propagate through complex systems. The engine between prediction and decision. - Operational Maturity Diagnostic: 3-state framework (Dark → Noisy → Intelligent) scored on visibility, integration, understanding, actionability. ## Sectors Water utilities, wastewater, telecommunications, energy, healthcare, disaster recovery, smart cities, government. ## Key Pages - [Platform](https://www.sandtech.com/platform/) — Symmetri overview - [Consequence Models](https://www.sandtech.com/consequence-models/) — the decision-intelligence layer - [Autonomy Levels](https://www.sandtech.com/autonomy/) — the 4-level automation framework - [Operational Diagnostic](https://www.sandtech.com/operational-diagnostic/) — maturity self-assessment - [Request Demo](https://www.sandtech.com/request-demo/) ## Leadership - Offices: Palo Alto, New York, London, Cape Town - Leadership principles: Choose Growth, Raise the Bar, Pioneer, Do Hard Things, Get Stuff Done ## Contact - Demo: https://www.sandtech.com/request-demo/ - Partners: https://www.sandtech.com/partner-ecosystem/ - Website: https://www.sandtech.com/ ## Last Updated 2026-07-06
