An insurance product is
metadata + rules.
A property/fire line is modeled as
data (line → ISO form → provisions — the individual coverages/clauses → options), and three
kinds of rules evaluate as you configure a policy:
compliance (regulatory, mandatory),
constraint rules (data-validity bounds on fill-in values — a violation blocks submission) and
risk / underwriting (carrier appetite — the risks the insurer is willing to take). A
climate risk model scores wildfire / flood / wind by
address and feeds the underwriting decision — exactly where an ML cat-model (catastrophe model — software that estimates disaster losses) plugs in.
The provision/option
defaults you see when a form loads are not hand-typed — they are
seeded from prefilled property data
(assessor records, aerial-imagery AI, protection class — the area's fire-department & hydrant grade) — you confirm or override them as part of policy design.
