Coverage Reality Notes

  • Standard policies often exclude surface water flooding.
  • Wind deductibles may be percentage-based, not flat fees.
  • Replacement cost vs Actual Cash Value significantly shifts risk.

Understanding Coverage Reality

Insurance decisions are often made without visibility into tradeoffs. This platform exists to make costs and risk explicit.

The Gap Between Policy and Reality

Standard homeowners insurance provides a baseline of protection, but specific disasters—like floods or earthquakes—are typically excluded or require separate endorsements.

Deductibles as Self-Insurance

Every dollar of your deductible is risk you are choosing to carry yourself. Lowering premiums by raising deductibles only works if you have the cash reserves to cover the gap.

Secondary Impact Factors

A claim doesn't just cost your deductible; it can lead to premium surcharges or loss of "claim-free" discounts that persist for 3-5 years after the event.

Neutral Risk Assessment

We don't sell policies. Our goal is to provide the analytical framework you need to decide which risks to transfer to an insurer and which to retain yourself.
