e2Value rolls out risk assessment tool for home insurers
e2Value has introduced a new risk assessment tool to improve underwriting accuracy in the home insurance market.
The new tool, Structure Insurance Score (SIS), has been developed over seven years in collaboration with WTW and is now fully owned by e2Value.
It offers a granular approach to home insurance pricing, providing small to mid-sized insurance carriers with advanced analytics previously available mainly to larger insurers, the company claims.
SIS evaluates the structural characteristics of individual properties, analysing more than 100 data points per home. This allows it to assess how a property might respond to perils such as fire, water, weather, theft and liability, identifying nuanced risk factors often missed by traditional methods.
Unlike conventional approaches that rely on basic property features like the number of bathrooms, storeys or roof age, SIS delves deeper. It uses e2Value's AI-powered technology, drawing on a dataset of millions of residential policies including premiums, structural data and loss history.
The tool incorporates cost modelling across various peril categories and integrates geospatial analytics to refine risk assessments down to ZIP code levels. This ensures pricing reflects local conditions rather than broad geographic averages or distant market cost multipliers.
e2Value stated that SIS' data strategy has been refined through decades of monitoring losses from major events like hurricanes and fires.
SIS is designed to offer a competitive advantage, particularly for smaller insurers without in-house analytics teams, the company noted.
It enables better segmentation, helping carriers identify high-risk properties that could affect loss ratios while recognising homes eligible for premium discounts.
Offered on a subscription basis, SIS makes advanced risk analytics accessible to carriers of all sizes. It allows them to make informed underwriting and pricing decisions with insights once exclusive to larger insurers with proprietary tools.
The tool leverages AI and extensive datasets to tackle long-standing challenges in property risk modelling.
e2Value CEO and co-founder Todd Rissel said: 'We believe this is a watershed moment for us as well as the insurance industry at large. With the launch of SIS, this helps our clients advance beyond more traditional underwriting methods that rely on more generalised data points.
"SIS is a precision instrument that can redefine how risk is understood and priced in the market. It can do what make-and-model scoring did for auto insurance.'
"e2Value rolls out risk assessment tool for home insurers " was originally created and published by Life Insurance International, a GlobalData owned brand.

Space Firm Voyager Technologies Jumps 82% After Upsized IPO
(Bloomberg) -- Voyager Technologies Inc. shares ended their debut trading day up 82% after the company raised $383 million in an upsized US initial public offering. Trump's Military Parade Has Washington Bracing for Tanks and Weaponry Shuttered NY College Has Alumni Fighting Over Its Future NY Long Island Rail Service Resumes After Grand Central Fire NYC Renters Brace for Price Hikes After Broker-Fee Ban NYC Mayoral Candidates All Agree on Building More Housing. But Where? The Denver-based defense contractor's stock closed at $56.48 each on Wednesday, versus the IPO price of $31 apiece. The company sold more than 12.3 million shares, after having marketed 11 million shares for $26 to $29. The trading gives Voyager Technologies a market value of $3.2 billion based on the outstanding shares listed in its filings. Janus Henderson Investors and Wellington Management have indicated an interest in buying a total of $60 million of shares in aggregate, the filings show. Founded in 2019 and recently rebranded from Voyager Space, Voyager Technologies serves both government and commercial clients across sectors including national security, advanced technology and space infrastructure, according to the filings. Space Station Replacement Voyager has a $217.5 million development grant with NASA to design Starlab, the commercial space station planned to replace the International Space Station, which is set to be decommissioned in 2030. Voyager plans to operate Starlab through a joint venture with equity partners including Airbus SE, Mitsubishi Corp., MDA Space Ltd. and Palantir Technologies Inc. The recent hostilities between President Donald Trump and Elon Musk jolted the share prices of companies in the sector on the prospect that SpaceX's dominant position had become vulnerable, though Musk later expressed regret over the rift. In an interview on Bloomberg TV Wednesday, Voyager Chief Executive Officer Dylan Taylor credited SpaceX as a crucial player in the industry, and said that there are other firms that are also doing great things. The space sector is unique in that companies are looking to collaborate and cooperate, he said. 'Really, everyone is rooting for everyone else,' Taylor said. 'I mean that sincerely, because it's important we get replacements up there prior to the International Space Station being decommissioned.' Another firm with links to both Voyager and the government is Palantir. A joint venture partner on the Starlab project, it's also a Voyager share holder, the filing shows. Voyager issued 228,365 shares to the data analytics firm in April last year as payment for for services including developing a prototype to schedule payloads to the ISS. 'We are both headquartered in Denver, they are across the street from us, we are friendly,' Taylor said. 'They are great partners and we coordinate with them closely and we have several initiatives where they play an important role.' Almost 84% of Voyager's revenue in 2024 stemmed from contracts with the US government and its affiliates, according to its filings. Voyager reported a net loss of $26.9 million on revenue of $34.5 million in the three months ended March 31, compared with a net loss of $14.8 million on revenue of $30.2 million in the same quarter last year. Trump's proposed 'Golden Dome' defense system, using space-based interceptors to shield the US from missile threats, could further boost Voyager's prospects. 'If the President gets what he wants for Golden Dome, that would potentially be a windfall,' Taylor said. Congressional Republicans are seeking $25 billion to start work on a project that Trump said could cost $175 billion overall. From the commercial space aspect of the business, even under a so-called skinny budget scenario, there would still be robust funding for commercial space stations, Taylor said. The offering was led by Morgan Stanley and JPMorgan Chase & Co. Its shares trade on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol VOYG. --With assistance from Ed Ludlow and David Gura.
