description: 'Pattern Ag was a predictive-agronomy company founded in 2018 and headquartered
  in Emeryville, California, that applied DNA sequencing and soil metagenomics to
  forecast agronomic outcomes twelve months ahead of a growing season. Its Complete
  Bio and Pattern 360 products profiled the soil microbiome to predict pest, pathogen
  and nutrient-deficiency pressure, informing crop-protection, seed-selection and
  fertility decisions for corn and soybean growers, and in 2023 the company announced
  what it described as the world''s largest single-ecosystem metagenomics database.
  In August 2024 Pattern Ag merged with soil-sensing company EarthOptics; the combined
  business operates under the EarthOptics name and the Pattern Ag brand has been
  retired. As of this profile the pattern.ag website issues an HTTP 301 to
  www.earthoptics.com, every Pattern Ag deep link returns 404, and the Pattern Ag
  LinkedIn page redirects to an EarthOptics company page. Pattern Ag never published
  a public developer program, API documentation, SDKs or a machine-readable API
  contract under its own brand, and no Pattern Ag API surface survives. The successor
  company''s private REST API is profiled separately at all/earth-optics.'

  notes: 'Pattern Ag is an absorbed brand, not a live provider. STEP 0b contract discovery
    ran against every reachable Pattern Ag host and against the successor host set,
    and found no Pattern Ag contract of any kind. https://www.pattern.ag/ returns
    HTTP 301 to https://www.earthoptics.com following the August 2024 EarthOptics
    merger; all seven /.well-known/ paths, /llms.txt and /openapi.json on
    www.pattern.ag return 404, and the Pattern Ag LinkedIn company page redirects
    to an EarthOptics page. No npm, PyPI or GitHub organization exists under the
    Pattern Ag name. The inherited Website pointer to https://www.nasdaqprivatemarket.com/
    was a harvest-source artifact (harvest.yml line 18057 records that generic venue
    URL for every nasdaq-sourced row) and asserted a false fact about the company;
    it was removed and replaced with the real domain. The successor surface —
    a private Django REST Framework API at api.earthoptics.com whose
    drf-spectacular schema at /api/schema/ returns HTTP 401 — is deliberately NOT
    claimed here: it is EarthOptics'' contract and is already profiled at
    all/earth-optics. Written: domain-security probe, well-known absence record,
    generated llms.txt.'
x-coverage:
  state: none
  reason: defunct
  detail: >-
    Pattern Ag merged into EarthOptics in August 2024 and the brand was retired —
    https://www.pattern.ag/ now issues an HTTP 301 to www.earthoptics.com, every
    Pattern Ag deep link 404s, and the company never published a developer portal
    or API contract under its own domain before the merger.
