Coastal Risk · Insurers · Reinsurers · Coastal asset owners

Your cat model prices the storm. We read the coast in front of the asset.

Your catastrophe model scores the storm. It does not see the reef, the mangroves, or the bare beach standing between that storm and the building. So two assets a mile apart can face very different real risk, and the model reads them as one number. We see the functional state of the living coast your model cannot, not just whether it is there, but how well it is still working. That is a signal you feed into your own pricing.

01 · The gap we fill

Your model prices the storm. It does not price the shoreline in front of the asset.

A reef breaks a wave before it lands. A belt of mangroves soaks up the surge. A bare beach does neither. That changes the real loss at one specific building. Yet most portfolio models treat every stretch of coast the same. That difference is what we see. We do not touch your book's total expected loss. Your model owns that. We show you the gaps between assets that healthy or missing ecosystems create.

What OCN adds

The living-coast layer your model is missing.

  • A read on how well the reef and mangroves protect each asset, taken from space and from the water.
  • The real risk gaps between assets your model reads as the same.
  • A ranked view, so the riskiest outlier assets rise to the top.
  • How the shoreline has moved, one asset at a time, not one broad zone.
Where your model is blind

Nature's defenses, blurred into an average.

  • Two buildings a mile apart, one shielded by a reef and one wide open, priced the same.
  • Living coastal defenses that a flat hazard map simply cannot see.
  • Erosion that has already crept the coastline in toward the building.
  • The one asset driving your worst-case loss, buried inside a book-wide average.
The lineWe surface the risk your cat model cannot see between assets, because your model ignores the functional state of the coast itself. We do not price or replace your model. We hand it a sharper input, the layer it never had.

02 · What we see

We watch these places from space and in the water.

This is a built, running capability, not a concept. We read the shoreline itself: how well it defends the building, how it has moved, and where it is heading. The same intelligence layer runs live in a sovereign pilot in the Caribbean, where we already mapped a national coastline from space.

Storm surge

How far the water reaches

We see how far a storm surge would push in on the land in front of your asset, and where it would stop. That first look tells you which buildings sit in the water's path and which do not.

Offshore depth

What the seabed does to the wave

A shallow shelf and a deep drop-off push water very differently. We do not treat them the same. We read the shape of the seabed just offshore and factor it into how hard the coast gets hit.

Erosion

How the shoreline has moved

We see how the coastline has actually shifted over decades, from space. Where the beach has crept in toward the building, we show it. This is what the coast did, not a guess.

Sea-level rise

Where the waterline is heading

Today's risk is not the whole story. We show where the waterline is going, built on published IPCC sea-level projections, so you see the assets the rising sea is walking toward.

Live water

Real triggers from the water

We watch the ocean live and flag the moment conditions cross the line that matters. These are real measurements from the water in front of the asset, not an estimate.

Loss range

The spread of a bad year

We map the range of what a bad season could cost, asset by asset, so the outliers stand out. It is a first look that sharpens your view, not the final number you underwrite on.

03 · Where your model is blind

A ranked view, with a protection read for each asset.

The result is a simple ranking. The riskiest assets rise to the top: the ones your book-wide average is hiding. The table below shows the shape of what you get back. Every value on it is a placeholder for illustration only.

Assets ranked by exposure · illustrative
Asset Protection from the coast Exposure (relative)
Exposed bare shoreline low protection
Eroding frontage low protection
Partial reef break moderate protection
Mangrove-belt frontage high protection
Read this as shape, not as a resultThe table above shows the form of what you get, nothing more. The bars and the order are placeholders. Your real ranking comes only from putting our eyes on your own book.

04 · How it runs

From your list of assets to a ranked view.

Four steps. The living-coast layer is the piece no cat model gives you.

Step 01

You send the locations

Just the map coordinates of your coastal assets. You do not need to send any risk model or storm rating. We start from the shoreline itself.

Step 02

We read each site

For every asset we read how far the surge reaches, what the seabed offshore does to it, and how the shoreline has moved. We add where the sea is heading. We see whether reef and mangroves are there to defend it.

Step 03

We score the protection

We read how well the coast defends each asset, then map the spread of what a bad season could cost it. The outliers separate from the pack.

Step 04

You get a ranked view

Your assets come back ranked by exposure, so the outliers your cat model blurred into an average rise to the top.

05 · How we sit with your model

A first look that sharpens your view. Not a replacement for it.

We are honest about what this is. It tells you where to look. It points you at the right assets, ranks your book, and exposes the living-coast gaps your cat model misses. It is a screening and leading-indicator layer, not a pricing engine. It sharpens the price you already set; it does not set it, and it does not touch your catastrophe model. Anyone who tells you a first look can price a policy is overselling it. We are not. Our strength is the functional coastal-state signal, and we say exactly where it starts and stops.

06 · Where we sit

We work alongside your cat model, not instead of it.

The models the industry runs price the storm. They do not carry a living-coast layer. We do. Keep your cat model exactly as it is. We sit next to it. We add the reef, mangrove, and shoreline-change signal it is missing, ranked across your whole book.

Your cat model ownsKeep it

The storm, the total loss, the price.

The models you already run handle the hazard, the book-wide loss, and the pricing. We do not touch any of it.

OCN addsThe living coast

The coastal difference, asset by asset.

A read on how well the reef and mangroves defend each asset, how the shoreline has moved, and the spread between assets your model reads as flat.

TogetherComplementary

The book, and the shoreline in front of it.

Your model prices the storm. We show which assets the coast is quietly protecting, and which ones it is not.

Put our eyes on your book

We see the coast your model can't.

Send us the locations of your coastal assets. You get back a ranked exposure view. You get a read on how well the reef and mangroves defend each asset. You get the spread of what a bad season could cost. It sits alongside your cat model and shows you exactly where the model is blind.
