Andrew Flanagan reposted thisAndrew Flanagan reposted thisThe "basis risk" critique of parametric insurance has been around for decades. The argument is simple: if the trigger doesn't perfectly match your loss, you've solved nothing. It's a fair critique of parametric done badly — and a stale one when the model is actually accurate. Our CEO Siddhartha Jha was on InsurTechTalk this week to talk about how Arbol underwrites climate risk using satellite data, AI, and quant methods — and why the gap between parametric trigger and actual loss has narrowed to the point where the old objection no longer holds the way it once did. He also covered the vertical integration journey from MGA to admitted carrier, why parametric is increasingly a bridge to alternative capital, and one point that often gets lost in the climate headlines: weather risk is far more regionally varied than the macro narrative suggests, and coverage that doesn't account for that isn't actually coverage.

Andrew Flanagan reposted thisAndrew Flanagan reposted thisIn hurricane-exposed markets, portfolio performance is driven by underwriting discipline and accurate risk segmentation. Lilypad-Centauri Insurance has adopted ZestyAI’s risk analytics platform to replace exposure uncertainty with verified property-level intelligence across its coastal homeowners and dwelling fire portfolios. By leveraging roof and parcel-level insights derived from aerial imagery and building data, Lilypad-Centauri is gaining a clearer view of property characteristics and how risk accumulates across its portfolio, supporting more informed risk selection and stronger portfolio management. As catastrophe volatility continues to challenge coastal regions, insurers are turning to defensible, regulator-approved analytics to better quantify exposure and build more resilient books of business.

Andrew Flanagan reposted thisAndrew Flanagan reposted thisArbol’s CEO Siddhartha Jha was featured this week in CNBC’s Diana Olick's Property Play newsletter on how AI is changing insurance. Key takeaway: “The AI is used for risk modeling, for operations and for understanding our risk in general. Where it adds a tremendous amount of value is efficiency, which makes you more resilient to handle a bad wildfire season or bad hurricanes.” Here’s how it works in practice: AI models geographic areas quickly—vegetation patterns, topography, wind patterns, and property-specific mitigation measures. This determines where to insure, what price to charge, and how to balance the portfolio across the capital markets.

Andrew Flanagan reacted on thisAndrew Flanagan reacted on thisOne of the lessons I've learned in business and in life is that adversity reveals character. Yesterday, I got to see that lesson play out in a very real way. After battling back from three major shoulder surgeries, my son never stopped believing in his goal. Through setbacks, rehab, uncertainty, and hard work, he stayed focused on what was possible. Yesterday, that perseverance paid off as he was selected by the Philadelphia Phillies in the 13th round of the MLB Draft. I'm incredibly proud of the accomplishment, but even more proud of the resilience it took to get there. A reminder that success is rarely a straight line.

Cotality gave me my real start in SaaS, and I'm leaving with more than I came with: growth, perspective, lifelong relationships, and a leadership style forged by some genuinely talented people. I'm grateful for every bit of it. To everyone I had the privilege of working alongside, thank you. Your partnership, trust, and friendship have meant more than you know. Today, I'm excited to begin a new chapter with Guidewire Software as Senior Director, Global Head of Implementation Services. My role is to lead the global organization that helps customers navigate complex technology transformations, from new implementations and cloud migrations to upgrades and ongoing delivery. Technology transformations are about more than deploying software. They're about earning trust, minimizing disruption, building exceptional teams, and ensuring customers realize the value of their investment. I'm excited to help shape that experience on a global scale and work alongside an incredibly talented team. Thank you to everyone who has been part of my journey so far. I'm looking forward to what's ahead. Here's to new beginnings! -
Andrew Flanagan reacted on thisAndrew Flanagan reacted on thisPartner Anita Bittner secured final summary judgment in the 18th judicial circuit based on the Plaintiffs’ failures to comply with their duties after loss pursuant to the terms of their policy in their late reported $310,000 wind claim. While Plaintiffs argued that the carrier was foreclosed from asserting prejudice in its investigation based on its ability to reach a coverage determination, the Court disagreed finding that a carrier “does not waive the defense of insureds’ failure to comply with their duty to immediately report the claim or protect the property from further damage, even when an insurer does not claim said failure as the basis for the denial of the claim.” Congratulations to our client for the outcome! #InsuranceDefense #FloridaLaw #SummaryJudgment #PropertyInsurance #InsuranceLitigation #FirstPartyProperty

Andrew Flanagan liked thisAndrew Flanagan liked thisIn my last post, I discussed how AI is rebuilding the economics of reinsurance. Today, I want to share how we are putting that framework into practice at Arbol. Standard indemnity structures simply can't keep pace with climate volatility. I break down how we leverage machine learning to move past legacy constraints- transforming how we ingest complex data to optimize pricing, automate underwriting, and settle claims in days rather than months. When data triggers a payout automatically, the friction of legacy reinsurance disappears. I’d love to hear your thoughts on how algorithmic underwriting is rewriting the rules of risk transfer.
