--- title: "Insurance and finance | Nexus Observatory" description: "Specialized fields for insurance and finance: Wind, rain and ground motion at the trigger point, Asset condition over time…" url: https://observatory.global/industries/insurance/fields/ publisher: Nexus Observatory Inc. updated: 2026-11-02 --- [Nexus Observatory](https://observatory.global/) / [Insurance and finance](https://observatory.global/industries/insurance/) / **Specialized fields** # Insurance and finance, field by field. Insurance and finance have their own specialised fields: parametric triggers measured to a standard every party trusts, physical climate risk measured at the asset, wind and solar resources that lenders will finance, and events verified so claims settle fast. Each field below has its own standards, stack, radio, power and crew work, from the first order to the running operation. [Plan a deployment](https://observatory.global/contact/deployment/) [Use cases](https://observatory.global/industries/insurance/use-cases/) **01** Specialized fields ## Choose the field you work in. Each field page sets out the operating context and hazards, what must be measured and under which rules, the stack from base unit to network, the work from order to operation, the data products and the cited sources. [Specialized field Parametric insurance triggersTamper-evident weather and water stations that measure the indices parametric policies pay on, with signed data that insurers, reinsurers and policyholders can all trust.The full field →](https://observatory.global/industries/insurance/parametric-triggers/) [Specialized field Physical climate risk for portfoliosMeasured hazards at the sites of a portfolio, from flood and heat to subsidence, so lenders, investors and insurers assess and disclose physical climate risk with evidence.The full field →](https://observatory.global/industries/insurance/physical-risk/) [Specialized field Bankable wind and solar resourceMet masts, lidars and irradiance stations that measure wind and solar resources to the standards lenders require, so renewable projects reach financial close on evidence.The full field →](https://observatory.global/industries/insurance/resource-assessment/) [Specialized field Event and claims verificationFlood depth sensors, drone surveys and site weather that verify what happened at insured properties after an event, so claims are settled faster and fairly.The full field →](https://observatory.global/industries/insurance/claims-verification/) **02** Solution bundles ## Start with one unit. Grow to a network. The same systems at every scale, on the open protocol, so nothing you buy is replaced as you grow. 1. **01** Base unit One station or node, specified for this industry: instruments, power, enclosure and backhaul. [Build a station →](https://observatory.global/studio/builder/) 2. **02** Site A surveyed, commissioned site with its timing, its links and the evidence file a buyer can audit. [Plan a site →](https://observatory.global/contact/deployment/) 3. **03** Fleet Many sites run as one service: one plan, one update path, one evidence trail, one service level. [Managed offers →](https://observatory.global/industries/insurance/solutions/) 4. **04** Network Fleets that federate with partner grids through the open protocol, owner by owner.
