I think the most clear example of this is in flood insurance and flood zones specifically.
When you look at flood zones, they're really raiding territories more than risk zones.
They're very political.
And their responsible party to create those flood zones is the county.
They have to do surveys to bring that data up to speed or up to date.
And a lot of times they'll delay these significantly.
And so you end up with a lot of areas that are exposed, that are outside.
Of flood zones.
And there's a lot of areas inside of the flood zone that actually have never flooded at all.
And those locations inside of the flood zone that have never flooded, their first floor elevation is greater than the surrounding areas.
And one of the things that we do is we provide first floor elevation.
And that gives combining our data with other data sources out there.
It kind of sharpens that underwriter's pencil.
It exposes and opens up new markets or new properties, new policies that are going to be incredibly profitable, but look terrible to everybody else on the market that don't have that insight.
LLMs do a great job if you drop a picture in doing some analysis that looks good, looks decent, but it is still a probabilistic answer.
And when you look at those probabilistic answers, there is 20% of the time or more that it is a hallucination.
And the answer looks great, and people want to trust it because it sounds good, it's convincing.
But it could be total nonsense.
I'm Jacob Grob.
I've been in the insurance space selling data to insurance companies for 20 years.
