Over the last few weeks, MyZubster has started moving from a pure technical project toward real-world validation.
Three things are happening in parallel.
🌱 Environmental & institutional validation
We are currently preparing a LIFE 2026 concept around environmental monitoring, biodiversity evidence and citizen science.
We have also started an institutional dialogue around a potential pilot in the Tuscan Archipelago, with Capraia as one of the contexts we are evaluating.
The goal is not to replace existing institutional or scientific systems.
The goal is to explore whether a digital evidence layer can make observations more structured, traceable and reusable for monitoring and reporting.
🔬 Scientific validation
We are now looking for scientific collaborators who can help define:
baseline methodology
biodiversity indicators
observation validation
data quality
impact measurement
replication methodology
This is an important distinction for us: technology should support the scientific methodology, not dictate it.
🔐 Security validation
Recently, an external security researcher identified and documented a real issue in one of the legacy flows.
The finding was independently reviewed and confirmed.
This is exactly the kind of contribution we want to encourage.
Open systems need external scrutiny.
We are therefore continuing to develop our security reporting and bounty workflow so that researchers can contribute responsibly and receive recognition for meaningful findings.
What comes next?
We are focusing on a very simple sequence:
Observation → Evidence → Validation → Indicators → Institutional Reporting
The next milestone isn't another feature.
It's proving that this workflow can solve a real problem in a real environmental context.
If you work in biodiversity, environmental monitoring, citizen science, public-sector digitalisation, research or application security and would like to explore a collaboration, I'd be happy to connect.
MyZubster is still early. That's intentional.
We are building the evidence before making the claims.
