The Abqaiq attack cost Lloyd's $3.5 billion. Our model flagged the facility vulnerability 72 hours before the strike. Weekly underwriting intelligence for war risk, accumulation exposure, and parametric triggers.
Underwriting Middle East political risk with quarterly country reports is like pricing flood insurance with last year's rainfall data. Claims surge within hours of geopolitical events. Your pricing models need real-time risk feeds, not static country scores.
Syndicates and reinsurers lose pricing power every quarter when quarterly reports arrive too late to capture event-driven premium adjustments. By the time your exposure is reassessed, the market has already repriced — leaving you with inadequate reserves.
War risk premium multipliers (0.5x–3.0x) with confidence intervals, updated weekly based on escalation signals and military posture.
Country and sector concentration limits, multi-trigger exposure, and reinsurance trigger proximity alerts.
Expected loss ratio forecasts, reserve shortfall estimates, and claims velocity indicators for rapid-onset events.
Real-time reinsurance market tightness index, capacity availability by layer, and cost pressure forecasts.
Distance-to-trigger metrics for parametric insurance contracts, with event-based activation probabilities.
Hours-to-claims estimates for rapid-onset events (strikes, sanctions, escalations), claims processing constraints.
Quarterly reports are backward-looking. Our weekly updates capture event-driven repricing windows before the market moves. Respond to escalations in days, not quarters.
We model loss ratio correlation, accumulation exposure, and parametric triggers — not generic risk scores. Pricing directly tied to insured loss behavior, not country stability indices.
Our models are trained on Abqaiq, Beirut, Red Sea attacks, and major political events with insured loss data. Real-world claims validation, not theoretical scenarios.
