Directory of AI property risk and catastrophe modelling vendors
The AI FinTech Index holds 4 of them, each graded on the same 15 capability axes from public sources, with the artifact every grade was read from attached to the record.
No vendor pays for inclusion, placement or rating. Counts generated 2026-08-24 across 490 indexed vendors. What moved is in the change log.
A property level risk score can price a household out of cover, and the person it describes is not the customer and cannot inspect it. Ask what the model is validated against, how a property owner disputes a score, and what happens when the model and the loss history disagree.
What is in this directory. Screened to vendors producing risk data about an insured asset. Pricing engines that consume that data are held separately.

What the public record shows in this directory
The share of the 4 indexed vendors here whose public record answers each of the nine regulatory questions a financial institution diligence process works through, and where this directory ranks against the other 50 directories in the index on the same question, highest share first. A thin share means the public record is thin, not that a control is absent.
The AI FinTech Index lists 4 AI property risk and catastrophe modelling vendors, graded on 15 capability axes from public sources with no paid placement and no aggregate score. Across this directory the best documented part of the public record is how the model works and how it is validated at 75 percent, and the thinnest is deployment model and data residency at 0 percent, which is 49 highest of 50 directories in the index on that question. Across the whole index of 490 vendors, none documents all nine regulatory axes in public and the average documents 2.94.

Fenris
Fenris supplies instant applicant and policyholder insight to carriers, agencies, brokers, underwriters and the platforms serving them, returning up to forty data points from a name and address in under two seconds. Its interfaces prefill applications across personal auto, home and life plus small business commercial, verify licences and vehicle identifiers, assess property hazards and perils, and score applicants for propensity to buy and lifetime value. It draws on a proprietary repository covering more than 255 million adults, over 35 million small businesses and every United States property, with machine learning matching records and predicting behaviour.

Greater Than
Greater Than turns driving data into crash probability and climate impact scores for motor insurers, fleets, mobility providers and vehicle manufacturers. Its Enerfy models, protected by seven patents and trained on driving data collected since 2004, break behaviour into thousands of variables to build individual driver profiles it calls DriverDNAs, from which it predicts accident probability and expected cost per trip in real time. The company argues explicitly that the industry's conventional signals, harsh braking events and lagging indicators such as violations and crash history, do not predict crashes, and prices behaviour instead. Data arrives through an on board device, a smartphone application or existing connected vehicle feeds, and scores reach insurers directly or through a major policy administration platform.

Renew Risk
Renew Risk builds catastrophe models purpose designed for renewable energy assets, which conventional models handle poorly because turbines now reaching 160 to 230 metres in deep offshore water did not exist when the historical loss record was created. Its models calculate the frequency and severity of financial losses from windstorm, hurricane, earthquake and severe convective storm, using large cloud simulations and machine learning alongside engineering science, and cover the United Kingdom and Ireland, Europe, Taiwan, Japan and the United States across offshore and onshore wind, solar, tidal and hydrogen. Buyers are insurers, reinsurers, brokers and banks who need to price risk, commit capacity and finance projects, alongside developers and asset managers. New models are produced in around nine months against industry timelines exceeding three years.

Z
ZestyAI
Property risk analytics firm founded by chief executive Attila Toth and built from inception around property level risk scoring rather than around software with models added later. Its models combine geospatial data, satellite and aerial imagery, enriched permit and parcel data, three dimensional roof intelligence, climate science and structural engineering to produce risk scores at individual address level across the United States. The portfolio covers wildfire (Z-FIRE), hail (Z-HAIL), wind (Z-WIND), an integrated severe convective storm model (Z-STORM), inland and pluvial flood beyond federal flood maps (Z-FLOOD), general property characteristics (Z-PROPERTY), and non weather water and fire perils. Z-FIRE was the first AI based wildfire model approved as part of a carrier rate filing by the California Department of Insurance, and is built on fire science and structure ignition research from the Insurance Institute for Business and Home Safety and trained on what the company describes as the industry's largest historical wildfire loss database, spanning two decades. Carriers insuring roughly 40 percent of the California homeowners market use it. The storm suite holds approvals across sixteen or more states. Z-VIEW is a browser application delivering scores, top risk drivers, aerial imagery and mitigation simulation for any address with no integration work. Named carriers include Heritage Insurance and NEXT Insurance, and the company is a Duck Creek partner. It states that its models helped carriers and insurers of last resort extend coverage to more than 511,000 previously uninsurable properties in 2024. Former Verisk chief executive Scott Stephenson joined its board in 2026.

Common questions
Is there a directory of AI property risk and catastrophe modelling vendors?
Yes. The AI FinTech Index lists 4 AI property risk and catastrophe modelling vendors, each graded on the same 15 capability axes from public sources, with the artifact every grade was read from attached to the record. No vendor pays for inclusion, placement or rating, no vendor is contacted before it is listed, and nothing sits behind a form. Counts generated 2026-08-24.
What counts as property and catastrophe risk data in this directory?
Screened to vendors producing risk data about an insured asset. Pricing engines that consume that data are held separately. The index holds 4 vendors meeting that screen, drawn from a wider Insurance AI category and from adjacent categories where the vendor belongs on the same shortlist. A vendor filed under a different category can still appear here, because a buyer building this shortlist does not sort by our filing.
What should a buyer check before shortlisting property and catastrophe risk data vendors?
Start with what this segment does not publish. Across the 4 indexed vendors, the thinnest parts of the public record are deployment model and data residency at 0 percent, which models sit underneath at 0 percent, and security certification depth at 0 percent. A thin public record predicts the length of a diligence process rather than the absence of a control, so these are the questions to put in writing early. A property level risk score can price a household out of cover, and the person it describes is not the customer and cannot inspect it. Ask what the model is validated against, how a property owner disputes a score, and what happens when the model and the loss history disagree.
