"When you create something that you would use, that you believe makes the user’s life better, you are facilitating a healthy habit. If you find yourself squirming as you ask yourself these questions or needing to qualify or justify your answers, stop! You failed. "

In my previous wildfire protection product project, I realized that my subconscious had been downplaying the issue. Although the needs we identified were objectively real, they weren’t significant enough to attract users. I could imagine my persona telling me, "This product is good, but we don’t want to change."

Maybe redesigning the project will help?

The key issue may rise from imprecise research, lack of depth while researching the field, difficulty in reaching real customers, and a lack of reflection during the design process.
This time, I chose to start by researching the fire prevention industry and agricultural fire control, analyze through published reports and papers, as accessing real users is challenging due to limited connections and the niche nature of this specific agricultural fire safety topic.

Cons of Previous Project
Cons of Previous Project
Cons of Previous Project
High equipment costs: New fire monitoring posts need to be purchased, but many farms already have monitoring devices or cannot afford the high replacement costs.
Limited data accuracy: Weather data only covers short-term (daily) forecasts, and cannot provide a clear assessment of fire risk.
Lack of personalized recommendations: Fire prevention suggestions are primarily based on geographic factors, ignoring human factors such as electrical faults, insufficient equipment maintenance, etc.
Limited evacuation tool functionality: The escape map feature is similar to Google Maps, lacking added value.
Incomplete insurance features: Only insurance information is available, without functionality for handling claims disputes or providing evidence for fire-related claims.
Platform mismatch: The design focuses on mobile, but many farmers prefer to manage tasks on a computer, making it inconvenient to use.

Fire Department React slow: The interval between the fire report and the firefighters' arrival at the scene is too long. As a result, some small fires grow larger.
Fire Insurance and Prevention Are Separate: Insurance and fire prevention systems lack of connection, with inaccurate data, making it harder for farmers to assess risks and file claims.
Multi-Device Fire Prevention Is Common: Over 30% of farms use two or more devices for fire prevention, indicating that farmers are aware of the need for multiple layers of fire protection.
Firefighting Products Lack Integration: Existing firefighting products/systems are fragmented and lack connectivity, making it difficult for farmers to choose and use them effectively.

Based on the comprehensive analysis, rural areas generally need a more complete, integrated fire safety system with multiple device connections.
There are approximately 1.85 million farms in the U.S. Among them, small and medium-sized rural farms account for 15%.
Large farms have more advanced fire management systems, but small and medium-sized rural farms lack these tools.
90% of U.S. farms are part-time or hobby operations, meaning they need to balance farm work with part-time jobs, requiring efficient farm management methods.
Overall, this means we have at least 277,500 potential users.

For the site map, the main change is to reduce the number of pages and merge pages wherever possible. The purpose of doing so is:
To reduce click cost
A larger screen can accommodate more information.

How to generate revenue?
There are multiple ways to generate revenue, such as inserting product recommendations for soft advertising in recommended articles and charging advertisers for placement. Paid online/offline courses for farm employees can also be offered in the knowledge center. Additionally, interfaces for various field monitoring devices can be sold, allowing users to access more accurate fire prediction models by purchasing these interfaces. The model versions can also be updated, with paying users receiving more precise fire prediction models.
