 I will provide you with an accurate wildfire risk model that will take into consideration weather, topography, building construction, and mitigation efforts to provide a more accurate risk assessment on a property. Currently insurance companies are losing market share in the wildland urban interface. Homeowners are also without insurance. By providing an accurate risk assessment, this will give insurance companies the confidence to continue to provide insurance and retain business with homeowners whose structures are in the wildland urban interface but are at a low risk due to mitigation efforts not captured on current risk models.

2. What needs are you satisfying? - Consider the desires or requirements of your customers that your product or service fulfills.

 I am satisfying the need for insurance companies to have an accurate risk model and for homeowners to have an accurate risk assessment score.

3. What unique value do you deliver? - Determine what makes your offering stand out. Is it better quality, more convenient, lower cost, or something else? Your value proposition should clearly articulate why your product or service is the best option for your target customers.

 My risk model will differ from others by using data points that are not typically captured in risk models. Standard assessment points such as topography, weather, vegetation health, slope will all be included; however, my model will also include building construction, any mitigation and abatement efforts from the HOA, homeowners, and local governments, and homeowners wildfire prevention knowledge.

4. What bundles of products or services are you offering? - Think about whether you are providing a single product or a bundle that creates added value. For example, a tech company might offer a device along with software and customer support.

I will offer the wildfire mitigation risk model as well as customer service agents that will be liaison officers with insurance companies to solicitate business.

5. What is the primary benefit to the customer? - Define the most important benefit your customers receive from your product or service. This could be saving time, reducing costs, improving their lifestyle, etc.

The primary benefit to the customer is an accurate risk model. For insurance companies this means a better ability to choose their business for homeowners, this means retaining their insurance if there are wildfire mitigation efforts that traditional models cannot capture.

6. How do you differentiate from competitors? - Consider what makes your business different and better than the competition. This could involve innovation, better customer service, a unique brand identity, etc.

I will differ from the competition by offering a superior product in terms of assessing true risk taking into account mitigation efforts and building construction.
