Karen Clark & Company
An independent catastrophe-modelling vendor founded by a pioneer of the discipline. Publishes rapid insured-loss estimates after major events and advocates an open approach through reference models. An alternative source to the two large vendors.
Reference-model methodology aimed at transparency of assumptions, complemented by loss estimates published shortly after events. Public release focuses on rapid estimates; the detailed models are licensed.
Use as a third viewpoint on per-event losses and for the methodological discussion on model transparency. Useful for triangulating the two large vendors' estimates.
