Benchmark
Validate claims with near-real-time weather intelligence. Benchmark verifies hail, wind, lightning, and hurricane conditions at a specific property on a specific date: evidence that arrives inside the claims workflow, seconds after you ask.
What happened at that property, on that date
Property- and date-specific weather intelligence (hail, wind, lightning, and hurricane) delivered in seconds, inside the claims workflow.
Four perils, verified
Hail size and severe-hail probability, wind speed and duration, lightning strikes within five miles, and hurricane wind, all property-specific and date-specific.
Delivered inside the workflow
Reports arrive in Xactimate, XactAnalysis, ClaimSearch's Research Hub, Guidewire, the online store, or the Benchmark API.
Auto-ordering by rule
Trigger reports by peril type, intensity, and location, so verification happens without a human remembering to ask.
The date-of-loss check that pays for itself
Verisk's XactAnalysis industry data shows 40% of hail-related claims carry an inconsistent date of loss.
Evidence that holds downstream
Property-specific reports in seconds: documentation that stands up in review, subrogation, and reinsurance recovery.
History on demand
Weather conditions for any continental U.S. or Canada location, including damage that predates policy inception.
Benchmark in the claims lifecycle
Weather intelligence lands earliest in the claim: validating the reported loss at first notice, segmenting and routing at assignment, and standing as evidence when the estimate is reviewed downstream. As part of the core claims suite, Benchmark reports arrive inside Xactimate and XactAnalysis: verification is a step in the workflow, not a detour.
