Vika Systems builds AI-driven emergency simulations grounded in a digital twin of your exact building — testing your duty managers under real pressure, producing a scored, auditable record of how they performed.
Most organisations meet their fire and emergency training obligations through signed drill records and walk-out-and-muster exercises. These satisfy the paperwork. They do not replicate what a duty manager faces when something actually goes wrong.
The chaos, the simultaneous radio calls, the 999 operator asking for details you can't recall, the handover to emergency services in under sixty seconds — none of that gets trained. The standard that matters is the one applied after an incident.
We ingest your floor plans, hazard register, smoke detector layout, and evacuation procedures to create a Vika Building Profile — a structured digital twin of your exact property. No two simulations are the same.
Your duty manager is placed inside a branching emergency scenario — fire, active threat, simultaneous alarms — with simultaneous radio calls, incomplete information, and the same pressure of a real incident. Every decision branches the scenario.
Every session produces a timestamped, scored debrief report — what was decided, what the optimal path was, where the gaps are, and a documented audit trail that demonstrates genuine tested competence, not just attendance.
UK organisations face overlapping compliance obligations. Vika addresses the preparedness question that both frameworks leave unanswered.
Requires the Responsible Person to ensure adequate fire safety training. The word "adequate" is not defined — its meaning is tested retrospectively, by a coroner or fire authority after an incident occurs.
Royal Assent April 2025. Enforcement expected from April 2027. Requires venues of 200+ capacity to have staff trained and prepared to execute evacuation, invacuation, and lockdown procedures.
Portfolio operators managing multiple UK properties facing overlapping FR(O) 2005 and Martyn's Law obligations across their estate.
Multi-tenanted buildings and corporate campuses where the duty manager is a facilities lead, not a trained emergency commander.
Arenas, conference centres, theatres, and stadia with 800+ capacity facing Martyn's Law enhanced tier obligations from 2027.
Large shopping centres, leisure complexes, and retail parks where public-facing staff are first responders in any emergency.
Hospitals, universities, and schools with complex building profiles, high occupancy, and vulnerable populations requiring tailored emergency protocols.
Group-level compliance leads who need portfolio-wide visibility of preparedness performance — not a collection of per-site attendance sheets.
As an engineering officer in the Royal Navy, Daniel has helped run and lead dozens of emergency training scenarios on aircraft carriers. Vika exists to bring that standard of preparedness to the buildings and teams who need it most.
Minutes — the window before fire service or police arrive, in which duty managers determine the outcome
Martyn's Law enforcement date — venues should be building preparedness programmes now
UK businesses estimated to fall within scope of Martyn's Law
We're currently onboarding a small number of UK pilot partners. If you're responsible for emergency preparedness across a portfolio of buildings, we'd like to hear from you.
