  • Patent number: 12682401
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described for evaluating and gamifying maintenance for a property by a user. The method may include: (1) retrieving home data for a first property; (2) determining, using a first trained machine learning evaluation model, one or more home score factors based upon at least the home data; (3) generating, based upon the one or more home score factors, a home score for the first property; (4) determining, using a second trained machine learning evaluation model, that one or more additional properties are similar to the first property; (5) retrieving past hazard data associated with a second property of the one or more additional properties; and (6) generating, based upon at least the past hazard data and at least one of the one or more home score factors, a learning module for the first property.

  • Patent number: 12626307
    Abstract: A roof assessment (RA) computing device may be programmed to store a roof assessment model within memory wherein the roof assessment model may be configured to determine a roof status of a selected roof after experiencing a weather event, output from the roof assessment model target weather event parameters for the selected roof wherein the target weather event parameters are weather event parameters that result in at least repairable damage to the selected roof, store the target weather event parameters in memory for the selected roof, determine that the selected roof has experienced a first weather event having weather event parameters that meet the target weather event parameters, and/or transmit a message to a user computing device associated with the selected roof advising that a claim associated with an insurance policy has been triggered as a result of the selected roof experiencing the first weather event.

  • Publication number: 20250265667
    Abstract: Aspects of distributed ledger technology are leveraged to verify subrogation settlements. In particular, two parties to a subrogation claim provide cryptographic hashes to a subrogation demand smart contract stored at an address on a blockchain. The subrogation demand smart contract determines that the parties have reached an agreement by determining that the cryptographic hashes match. A settlement amount from the subrogation claim may be appended to a set of settlement amounts to determine a net settlement amount to facilitate a single payment between the parties on a periodic basis, such as daily, to alleviate the need for the parties to send or receive a payment for each individual settlement amount.

  • Publication number: 20230394033
    Abstract: The following relates generally to generating a property measurement (e.g., a property value, a construction replacement cost, a property health score, etc.) of a subject property, and, more particularly, to generating a property measurement of the subject property when at least one property parameter of the subject property is unknown or inaccurate. In some embodiments, a set of properties nearby the subject property is identified, and information of the set of properties is received. At least one property parameter (e.g., a year built, a square footage, a qualitative build grade of the subject property, etc.) is optimized. The property measurement of the subject property may then be optimized based upon the determined at least one property parameter.
