AIR Worldwide, a Verisk Analytics company, provides software and catastrophe modeling to help companies manage risk from natural catastrophes, terrorism, cyber-attacks, and pandemics. BriteCore offers two integrations with AIR products: AIR Touchstone and AIR Hazard Service’s Flood Zone API.
AIR Touchstone is a software offered by AIR Worldwide that accounts for both catastrophe and non-catastrophe loss. This integration allows BriteCore to acquire information from AIR on potential losses based on the risks present in a rated revision and use this information in the rating calculation.
AIR Hazard Service’s Flood Zone API is an integrative solution offered by AIR Worldwide that utilizes FEMA flood zone maps to determine whether or not a specific property is in a flood zone.

Height | All category elements of property category line-item providing the height of the construction | Allows the system to extract the AIR parameter “Height” |
General | Property rate-per line-item providing the area of the construction; chain step must be named Square Feet | Allows the system to extract some AIR parameters such as “GrossArea” |
StrConstructBldg:AIRCODE | All category elements of property category line-item providing the type of construction; AIRCODE is the respective AIR code for the category element | Allows the system to extract the AIR parameter “StrConstructBldg” |
StrOccupancyClass:AIRCODE | All category elements of property category line-item providing the type of occupancy; AIRCODE is the respective AIR code for the category element | Allows the system to extract the AIR parameter “StrOccupancyClass” |
RoofCover:AIRCODE | All category elements of property category line-item providing the type of roof cover; AIRCODE is the respective AIR code for the category element | Allows the system to extract the AIR parameter “RoofCover” |
RoofGeometry:AIRCODE | All category elements of property category line-item providing the roof shape; AIRCODE is the respective AIR code for the category element | Allows the system to extract the AIR parameter “RoofGeometry” |
CoverageA | Property line-item respective to Coverage A with a limit | Allows the system to extract the AIR parameters “RV_A” and “LimitA” |
CoverageB | Property line-item respective to Coverage B with a limit | Allows the system to extract the AIR parameter “RV_B” |
CoverageC | Property line-item respective to Coverage C with a limit | Allows the system to extract the AIR parameter “RV_C” |
CoverageD | Property line-item respective to Coverage D with a limit | Allows the system to extract the AIR parameter “RV_D” |
BriteCore processing
Once you add the proper system tags to the relevant parts of the target policy type, BriteCore will request a loss report during rating of any revision on that policy type. Loss reports are then cached for 60 days and used for that particular set of data. If the data changes or a request is made after 60 days, the system will request a new loss report from the vendor.
