For Insurers

Underwriting-grade property risk, on demand.

Claims correlate with building condition, neighborhood signals, and climate exposure. Lucen scores every residential address on all three — in a format designed to sit inside a Guidewire, Duck Creek, or custom rules engine.

The underwriting gap

You price 6M policies a year on incomplete property data.

Current data vendors aggregate parcel-level attributes. Lucen adds compliance history, 311 complaint velocity, elevator/boiler signals, and fair-housing-audited climate exposure — the signals that actually predict claims frequency.

Condition signal

HPD violations and DOB filings are leading indicators of claims. We surface both at scoring time.

Peril composite

FEMA flood, heat, wind, and hail exposures normalized onto a single Risk sub-index per property.

Custom-weighted scoring

Auto, home, condo, renter — your line has its own weight schedule. We rescore via the custom-weights endpoint.

What a claims back-test shows

Scores vs. outcomes, on your book.

We run historical scores against your past policy + claims data to show the claim-frequency gradient across Lucen Score buckets. Most partners see a step-change difference between scores <50 and scores >80.
