The AI-powered risk decision platform
Catamaran uses AI to help people make clearer, faster decisions about risk. Our platform brings all internal and external risk data into one easy-to-understand workspace. By automating data gathering, checking, and scenario testing, we help insurers, reinsurers, brokers, and investors quickly understand and manage their risks. Catamaran also provides a regulated marketplace to easily buy, sell, and manage insurance coverage.
Catamaran is a risk decision platform that uses rich datasets, models, and AI to help corporates, insurers, brokers, and investors analyze and transfer complex risks. It supports end-to-end risk evaluation, underwriting, and risk transfer with parametric capabilities and automated processes.
Catamaran provides an end-to-end risk decision platform built on data extraction, data cleansing, and normalization from various submissions and exposure documents. It offers structural configuration of parametric triggers, coverage thresholds, and payouts; multi-modal AI analysis for risk understanding; scenario analysis for potential payouts and maximum probable loss; automated triaging and matching; workflow integrations into policy admin systems or broker portals; digital underwriting and policy execution via CatX, connecting with institutional and alternative capital partners; automated settlements on triggering events; and access to a marketplace of capital providers. It supports creating multiple structure options, transforming unstructured submissions into digital deal rooms, and provides dashboards and reports for decision support.
