Case Study
How Vave Weathered the Storm with Arturo's Roof Condition Model
In 2021, Vave, an algorithmic underwriting managing general agent (MGA), signed a multi-year deal with Arturo to enhance their point of quote solution for their book of business. They aimed to evaluate customer-provided information, cross reference for a second opinion, and augment calculations with those values. This way, they could reduce the risk of inaccurate data and enhance the quality of data.

About the Case Study
Together, Arturo and Vave were put to the test during Hurricane Ida, a Category 4 storm that slammed into the Louisiana coast. In the days leading up to landfall and in the immediate aftermath, Vave was able to compare exposed policies in force against the weather footprint and understand how Arturo’s estimations of risk compared to event actuals. Arturo’s point of quote evaluation of the condition of a property’s roof proved highly indicative of damage caused by Hurricane Ida.
