Milliman’s analysis of ZestyAI’s Z-HAIL model shows that ZestyAI’s Z-HAIL risk score could be used to segment properties based on exposure to hail risk. Over a period of seven years, properties with a Z-HAIL score of 10 had a reported loss ratio of 50.4% compared to only 2.4% for properties with a Z-HAIL score of 1,

which corresponds to a highest to lowest loss ratio lift of 21X.
