Making Risk Flow | The Future of Insurance · Property Intelligence at Scale: How Geospatial Data Is Redefining Insurance Underwriting | Izik Lavy and Jacob Grob · 30 Jun 2026 podcast

That detail, that first floor elevation, is what separates you from the others and what gives our customers the ability to cherry-pick policies inside of areas that normally you wouldn't touch.

Very similar case is wildfire.

You can be in a very heavily wildfire prone area, but if you have really good defensible space, the likelihood of you burning is very low.

So again, it is having the right base map to start.

If you have the good base map and understanding and all of those attributes at your fingertips, then all of the other underwriting that comes

out of that or grows out of that is going to be more profitable, more predictable than anything else.

And so you can gotta look at it one of two ways.

One is it do you have the right base map to accurately underwrite?

Or are you bringing in that last detail to put you over the top?

And I would say you should start with the right base map.

So that's kind of my take on the place position.

I love it.

you brought up the difference in hazards.

There are different in they have different names, but a lot of them are the same.

There's still flooding there.

There's still wildfire.

And actually the flooding piece I wanted to talk about for Australia because I think it's a great story, a great anecdote for our data.

So we started providing first floor elevation in Australia due to flooding.

And

We gave the data back to our customers and they came back and said, this is wrong.
