Methodology

Every peril, the same shape.

Each peril is normalized to a 0–100 percentile against the national distribution, mapped to an A–F grade with documented thresholds, and accompanied by the model layer, calibration vintage, and parcel-level value used in the calculation. No peril is a black box.
