Déclencheurs d’assurance paramétrique

Des indemnisations déclenchées par des mesures auxquelles tous se fient.

L’assurance paramétrique paie quand un indice mesuré franchit un seuil : pluie trop faible, vent trop fort, rivière trop haute. Elle ne paie vite que si chaque partie fait confiance à la mesure. Des stations construites selon le guide de l’OMM, signées à la source et auditées, donnent aux assureurs, aux réassureurs et aux assurés le même chiffre.

  1. Assurance et finance · Déclencheurs d’assurance paramétrique

    Money moves on a number

    Parametric insurance pays when a measured index crosses a threshold, so it can pay in days rather than months. That works only if insurers, reinsurers and policyholders all trust the measurement. Supervisors look closely at basis risk, transparency and fair treatment.

  2. Ce qui est mesuré

    The index, measured

    Reference rain gauges, anemometers and river gauges measure the quantities the policy pays on, sited to represent the insured area and calibrated to traceable references. Tamper sensors in each enclosure record any opening. Every instrument keeps its calibration and position with the site record.

  3. Le nœud de base

    Signed at the source

    The node signs every reading at the source, computes the index exactly as the policy defines it, detects tampering from enclosure sensors and data patterns, and keeps a full archive so any payout can be reproduced by any party. Every value is signed at the node before it leaves.

  4. Radio et liaisons

    Reporting through the event

    Stations report over cellular where coverage exists, with a satellite path that keeps data flowing through the storms and floods the policy covers. All parties read the same signed index through the same interface. When one path fails, the other carries the data.

  5. Comment ça marche

    From a failed season to a payout

    The rainy season fails across an insured district. The rainfall index accumulates below the trigger by the policy’s end date; the signed calculation is released to insurer, reinsurer and farmer groups, and payouts reach farmers within days, before they must sell assets.

  6. De la commande à l’exploitation · Commande

    Scope the index with the insurer

    The scope reads the policy design, insured areas, the index definition and the basis risk analysis. Nexus Observatory Inc. returns the station plan, index calculation, audit design and a price per station and per year. The scope is agreed before any site work begins.

  7. De la commande à l’exploitation · Relevé

    Survey for representativeness

    Crews survey candidate sites for how well they represent the insured area, exposure to the WMO siting classes, security, power and backhaul. Findings feed the basis risk analysis. Findings shape the kit for each site before anything is built. Every finding is kept with the site record for the crews who follow.

  8. De la commande à l’exploitation · Autorisations

    Land and agreements

    Land agreements protect each site, and the insurer, reinsurer and policyholder representatives agree the data rules and dispute process. Every agreement is kept with the programme record. No crew goes to site before its approvals are in place. Approvals are tracked site by site, so nothing waits unseen.

  9. De la commande à l’exploitation · Fabrication

    Build and calibrate

    Sensors are calibrated against traceable references, enclosures fitted with tamper sensors, nodes enrolled with their identities and signing keys, and stations run together before shipping. Nothing ships until the whole kit has passed its tests together. Test results travel with the kit to the site.

  10. De la commande à l’exploitation · Installation

    Install and secure

    Crews install stations to the siting classes, secure enclosures and fences, connect power and both backhaul paths, and record every part with photographs witnessed by the parties where required. Crews follow the site safety plan throughout the work. The site record is updated before the crew leaves.

  11. De la commande à l’exploitation · Mise en service

    Commission and witness

    Chaque nœud prouve son identité. Readings are compared with a travelling reference and nearby official stations, the index calculation is tested against history, and parties witness the results. Acceptance is recorded with the owner before handover. Results are signed and kept with the site record.

  12. De la commande à l’exploitation · Exploitation

    Pay on the index

    All parties see the index as it accumulates. When it crosses the trigger, the calculation and signed readings are released together, and payouts move in days, not months. Every alert and action is kept on the record. Reports for owners and funders come from the same record.

  13. De la commande à l’exploitation · Maintenance

    Audit and recalibrate

    Stations are recalibrated on the agreed plan, audits check data integrity and availability, software is updated in rings, and every change is recorded so any past index can be reproduced. Maintenance history stays with each site for its whole life.

  14. Produits de données

    For insurers, policyholders and supervisors

    Insurers, reinsurers and policyholders receive signed index values; claims and finance teams receive trigger notifications; supervisors and auditors receive audit trails; product designers receive basis risk reviews, each tied to station and period. Every product can be traced back to its readings.

    Trusted by every party

    Measurements follow the WMO instrument and hydrological guides, data integrity follows the information security standard, and the programme answers supervisors’ concerns on index-based insurance and fair claims handling. Every reading is signed and archived. The record is kept for as long as the duty lasts.

01Le lieu et ses dangers

Où il fonctionne, et ce qui peut mal tourner.

Operating contextIndex-based insurance is reviewed by insurance supervisors for basis risk, transparency and consumer protection, and insurers must treat policyholders fairly and settle claims promptly under the core principles of supervision. Index measurements must be accurate, available and protected against tampering, because money moves on them.

Dangers

  • Basis risk when the station is far from the loss
  • Station gaps during the very event insured
  • Tampering or disputes over readings
  • Indices that cannot be reproduced afterwards
  • Payouts delayed by manual data checks
