About the Case Study

Together, Arturo and Vave were put to the test during Hurricane Ida, a Category 4 storm that slammed into the Louisiana coast. In the days leading up to landfall and in the immediate aftermath, Vave was able to compare exposed policies in force against the weather footprint and understand how Arturo’s estimations of risk compared to event actuals. Arturo’s point of quote evaluation of the condition of a property’s roof proved highly indicative of damage caused by Hurricane Ida.

Delivering the Bottom Line

1.46x

THE LOSS RATIO

for properties with “fair” or “poor” roof condition was 1.46 times that of properties with “good” roof condition.

10%

UPON ANALYZING CLAIMS FREQUENCY AND SEVERITY

roofs rated “fair” or “poor” were 10% more likely than roofs rated “good” to incur losses”

43%

LOSSES THAT DID OCCUR

in these locations were 43% more severe.

Arturo will play a big role in identifying and reducing fraudulent claims. The ability to identify pre-existing issues will save money on claims in the future.
