What We Analyze
- Driving behavior risk indicators (aggregated & consent-based)
- Vehicle health and maintenance adherence
- High-risk usage patterns (excess mileage, commercial use signals)
- Environmental and geographic risk trends
Outcome
Stronger feedback loop to underwriting and pricing teams
Earlier risk identification
Improved portfolio transparency
