Our Contributions to the Industry

GRIT's high-resolution susceptibility maps and machine learning models provide direct financial advantages to insurance companies in pricing, policy acceptance, and reinsurance processes.

Why GRIT?

The difference between traditional methods and GRIT technology.

  • Current System:
    Incomplete Data, High Risk
  • GRIT Solution:
    Complete + Accurate Data, Accurate Risk Pricing
  • Result:
    90%+ Accuracy & 100% Policy Coverage & 10m Resolution

Accurate Pricing

Provides detailed risk scores for each policy. Minimizes losses arising from mispricing through geographic data that can be integrated into actuarial models.

Policy Acceptance & UW

Offers rapid address/coordinate-based risk assessment before site surveys. Accelerates acceptance decisions and focuses field teams on high-risk areas.

Loss Mitigation

Provides critical data for identifying high-risk locations, targeting mitigation investments, and creating emergency response plans.

Use Cases

Underwriting (UW) Decision Support

Acceptance processes are accelerated and standardized with address/coordinate-based risk scores in policy underwriting.

Pricing & Actuarial

Contributes to developing more accurate and competitive tariff models through spatial risk distribution analysis.

Claims Management

Claims management becomes more effective with rapid post-event damage detection and reserve calculations.

Reinsurance Negotiations

Validated maps strengthen your reinsurance bargaining; they display portfolio risk transparently and clearly.

Portfolio Analysis

Specific analyses for regional density, OIZs, and industrial zones; ability to simulate portfolio impacts in catastrophe scenarios.

On-Field Risk Assessment

Enables field teams to make more accurate assessments during survey, expertise (loss adjustment), and on-site inspection processes.
