Xyloplan for Insurers
Wildfire risk isn’t theoretical.
Neither is loss.
THE CHALLENGE
Insurers need accurate wildfire risk intelligence to properly price policies, deploy capital, and protect balance sheets.
Existing tools fail to reflect dynamic fire behavior, mitigation impacts, or correlated losses in dense communities — which costs insurers revenue and exposes them to avoidable risk.
OUR SOLUTION
XyloPlan is the only fire intelligence platform purpose-built to understand risk associated with fast-moving, wind-driven fires that cause city-scale loss.
XyloPlan gives insurers loss-relevant intelligence that shows where mitigation reduces risk, where it doesn’t, and why.
BENEFITS
XyloPlan turns fire science into smarter underwriting.
Our platform provides insurers witha a clear view of correlated loss and changing community risk.
What sets XyloPlan apart:
-
Built for today’s fast fires
XyloPlan was purpose-built to model fast-moving, wind-driven fires that move from vegetation into neighborhoods and urban blocks, resulting in city-scale loss. Unlike traditional wildfire or urban models, our platfrom captures the real dynamics that drive catastrophic claims.
-
Quantify risk at the parcel level
XyloPlan produces numeric, defensible risk scores for individual homes and parcels, integrating Fire Pathways, structure vulnerability, and environmental factors. This granularity enables underwriters to price policies accurately and target high-risk areas for mitigation incentives.
-
Visualize exposure and understand potential loss
Animated fire simulations show how fires are likely to spread, where correlated losses may occur, and which communities are most at risk. Visualizations help insurers understand and explain likely loss patterns and better manage portfolios.
-
Evaluate mitigation ROI
XyloPlan models the effect of mitigation actions, showing how home hardening, defensible space, or vegetation treatment reduces risk. Insurers can quantify potential reductions in loss, encouraging investments in community resilience and lowering claims exposure.
-
Align with communities and fire agencies
XyloPlan creates a shared, science-based framework that unites insurers, fire agencies, and residents around consistent risk data. Alignment ensures mitigation efforts are measurable and defensible, supporting regulatory reporting and public-facing initiatives.
-
Model complex, real-world fire behavior
XyloPlan incorporates wind, terrain, fuels, and structure density to simulate fire spread realistically. It models Phase-based spread (Wildland → Transition → Urban), ember transport, and urban conflagration potential, producing data insurers can trust for managing portfolios.
-
Track progress and celebrate wins
Measure how community efforts reduce risk over time and share results with neighbors, HOAs, and local agencies.
KEY FEATURES
Correlated loss modeling
Quantify correlated risk exposure to inform underwriting and capital allocation.
Phase-based spread (Wildland → Transition → Urban)
Identify critical intervention points at phase transitions for better resource allocation.
Parcel-level risk scoring
Provides numeric risk scores for individual properties, combining structure, vegetation, and pathway exposure.
Scenario comparison visualizations
Understand potential reduction in loss under different scenarios, improving risk-adjusted decision making.
Dynamic animated fire spread visualizations
Visualize exposure and potential loss patterns for underwriting and portfolio risk management.
Mitigation
“what-if” visual playback
See the projected benefit of interventions before committing resources.
Leveraging XyloPlan’s deep understanding of Fire Pathways and conflagration helps us develop property-level insight to better protect our customers and communities
Without large-scale, cross-industry collaboration and commitment, losses from wildfire will only continue to worsen. Working together, we can help reduce the loss of life and property in the wildland urban interface and improve insurance stability.
