Know the risk

Mosaic Risk — hail risk intelligence, scored by geography

The hail risk data underwriters price against rests on two things: reports filed by people, and hail inferred from radar. Mosaic Risk rests on hail that was measured where it fell, then extended outward by Hailios Fusion AI, trained on it — and it tells you, cell by cell, which of those you are looking at.

The problem, plainly

Reported hail is a map of where people were standing

The hail layers underwriters price against were assembled from reports and from radar-derived proxies. Both are useful. Neither is a measurement. A report requires a witness who was outside, awake and inclined to call it in, which quietly encodes population density, daylight hours and road networks into what is then presented as a hazard surface. A radar proxy converts returns into hail on a coarse grid, from a beam passing well above the roofline, and publishes the result without saying how well it did.

Price a book on that and you pay for the sampling bias twice: once where the record over-reports because the town is there, and once where it under-reports because nobody was. Risk starts from the other end. Instruments in the storm record what actually landed, and the layer is extended outward from those points by a model trained on them — with the distance from measurement carried in the data rather than lost inside it.

The differentiator is provenance. Provenance is the whole product.

Where a hail number comes from

Three ways to answer “did it hail here”. Only one of them looked.

SOURCE 01

Reported hail

A hail report is a person. Someone was outside, awake, near a road, and moved to pick up a phone. The resulting map is an excellent record of where people were standing — biased toward population, toward daylight, toward highways, and silent over farmland at three in the morning. It is then used, largely unchallenged, as a record of where hail falls.

SOURCE 02

Radar-derived hail

Radar does not see hail. It sees returns, and a proxy converts those returns into a hail estimate across a coarse grid, from a beam sweeping thousands of feet above the ground. It is inference, published without an accuracy statement, and it inherits every assumption in the conversion.

SOURCE 03

Measured hail

An instrument on the ground, in the storm, recording impacts as they land: how many, how hard, how long, timestamped to the second. No observer, no proxy, no conversion. This is what Risk is built on, and the model that fills in the rest of the layer is trained on it.

THE FIRST TWO ARE INFERENCE WEARING A CONFIDENT FONT. THE THIRD WAS THERE.

Confidence you can audit

Measured cells, and ground-trained cells that know how good they are

An underwriter who cannot see the confidence cannot use the layer. So Risk draws it. Cells we measured are crisp squares at full strength; ground-trained cells are drawn softer as they leave the instruments, and each one states its confidence. That confidence is not a guess about a guess: Hailios Fusion AI is scored against instruments that were standing in the storm.

MEASUREDGROUND-TRAINED

Every scored cell states three things before it states a hazard number: what was measured, what was ground-trained on measurement, and how confident the layer is in the result. Those are not a footnote at the bottom of a methodology PDF. They are fields, they travel with the score, and they are the first thing a cat modeler should interrogate.

Nobody else can show you this, because nobody else has a ground network to grade a model against. A layer checked only against radar and storm reports can tell you what it thinks; it cannot tell you how often it is right. Ours can, and it is the first question we would want a cat modeler to ask us. A hazard surface with uniform confidence everywhere is not confident, it is silent. Measured skill is what makes every cell worth believing, and what lets you load or decline one for a stated reason.

Hail risk scoring

What a hail risk score actually contains

Not a color on a map. A record with its provenance attached, for a book you have to rate, retain or cede. Read the provenance and confidence fields first — they tell you how much weight the hazard field should carry inside your own model.

  • DECADESOf reported-hazard record behind the score
  • PER CELLProvenance and confidence, stated
Scored unitA geographic cell. Every cell carries the same fields whether it sits under an instrument or between them — there is no quiet gap where the layer stops explaining itself.
HazardLong-record hail hazard expressed through what Tessera measures: impact energy and impact concentration, with stone size as a measured floor where sensors stand, ground-trained and labeled everywhere else.
ProvenanceMeasured, ground-trained, or modeled. Stated per cell, every time. This is the field an underwriter should read first, and the reason the rest of the table is worth reading at all.
ConfidenceHow sure the layer is about the cell, and what that confidence rests on — instrument density in the neighborhood, depth of the record behind it, agreement between independent sources.
Distance to measurementHow far the nearest measured cell actually is. Provenance you can audit rather than take on trust.
Record depthHow far the measured record and the longer reported-hazard record each reach behind the cell, stated separately — so a short measured history is never mistaken for a long one.

What you can order

Two reports, one location at a time

Order either for a single address, or run a whole portfolio through them as a list.

  • Risk Report

    One location, one reference date

    Any US address · CAN · EU · AUS · JPN

    How exposed is this location? Its risk level, how often hail reaches each threshold and a regional comparison, with the history included. In the US it is ground-trained by Hailios Fusion AI.

  • Historical Report

    One location, two years

    Any US address · CAN · EU · AUS · JPN

    What happened here over the past two years? Every event with its date and severity, for a purchase, a renewal or a date of loss nobody is sure of. In the US it is ground-trained by Hailios Fusion AI.

Outside the US, both reports are built on historical radar from January 1, 2025 onward, plus Tessera measurements wherever one stands. Ask us to confirm availability for your locations.

Risk is only as good as the ground truth it answers to. Hailios Fusion AI carries the layer beyond the instruments; the instruments are what keep it honest, and the layer sharpens in exactly the places where a sensor goes up.

That is the roadmap in one line: coverage deepens wherever another Tessera goes up. If your portfolio concentrates somewhere we have not instrumented yet, that is a conversation about deployment, and it is a cheaper one to have before the season than after it.
