Our take
Our changing climate poses an increasing risk to us all. Extreme weather events like flooding are a cause for anxiety across the globe including in rain-stricken U.K. One set of commercial concerns from these climate events are from insurers that are attempting to recalibrate underwriting models to deal with changing flood and other climate risks.
Fathom is part of a crop of flood risk modelling services that exist to aid insurers in this task. However, Fathom’s UK model is the first of its kind to factor in multiple climate change scenarios to predict the impact of flooding in the future, rather than relying solely on historic records.
The company is proving out its best-in-class ability to appreciate flood risk for its commercial clients. Now, it is expanding its offering to be fit for national and regional economies across the globe.
Fathom’s partnership with Reask is a boost to its commercial viability. While the company’s core offering is obviously cutting-edge, for the startup to achieve its goals for growth it will have to embed its offering into the workflows of risk management teams. Partnerships like these with risk analytics providers should greatly help in this regard.
