Introducing the Apex Protocol Platform
The Apex Protocol is positioned as a purpose-built, AI-powered public safety assessment and monitoring system. Unlike traditional reactive security solutions that focus primarily on detection and incident response, Apex Protocol is designed to quantify institutional safety readiness through structured analytics and scoring methodologies.
Wytec Public Safety Index (WPSI)
At the core of the platform is the Wytec Public Safety Index (WPSI), a proprietary 500-point scoring framework intended to measure and quantify safety preparedness across institutions. The index aims to provide a standardized, objective methodology for evaluating safety readiness levels in facilities such as:
- K–12 schools
- Colleges and universities
- Churches and religious institutions
- Hospitals and healthcare centers
- Government buildings
- Public assembly facilities
The 500-point framework enables institutions to receive a measurable safety score, allowing leadership teams to identify vulnerabilities, benchmark against best practices, and prioritize resource allocation. Such quantification may assist administrators in moving beyond subjective safety evaluations toward evidence-based planning.
Five-Protocol Assessment System
The platform incorporates a structured five-protocol assessment model. While specific protocols have not been publicly detailed in full, the system is designed to evaluate critical safety domains such as:
- Physical security infrastructure
- Emergency preparedness and response planning
- Environmental monitoring
- Communication system resilience
- Threat detection and prevention capabilities
This structured methodology ensures that safety assessments are comprehensive rather than fragmented, addressing both technological and procedural elements.
AI Safety Intelligence Engine
A key differentiator of the Apex Protocol is its AI Safety Intelligence component.
