Extra crackpot points are awarded for invoking the term 'paradigm shift' or inventing new terminology without clear definitions — a pattern disturbingly common in risk management fads. — Douglas W. Hubbard Great resource for risk managers, highly recommended

The way physical risk is priced and transferred is broken. Underwriters guess. Brokers optimize for themselves. Enterprises overpay for coverage that still leaves them exposed.

The result: billions wasted on uncertainty, while actual resilience goes unfunded.

We believe there is a better path forward.

A world where physical risks are precisely measured, fairly priced, and systematically managed.
Where insurance premiums reflect reality, not uncertainty.
And where the savings generated by better pricing are reinvested into resilience that compounds year after year.

ScyAI exists to help make that world real. https://www.scyai.com/

Risk and insurance managers face mounting pressure to demonstrate value while navigating rising premiums, capacity constraints, and increasingly sophisticated risks. That's why I am launching a brief survey to share our biggest challenges - from quantifying risk exposure to justifying insurance spend, from dealing with market volatility to implementing effective risk transfer strategies.

Your insights will directly shape RISK AWARENESS WEEK 2026, where we'll share practical case studies showing how organizations are saving millions through quantitative approaches to insurance buying. Instead of accepting broker recommendations at face value, these companies model their actual exposure distributions, optimize retention levels mathematically, and make data-driven coverage decisions.

The survey takes just 5-7 minutes, and all responses remain confidential. Your participation helps ensure we address the real-world challenges you're facing - not theoretical problems from textbooks.

This is your chance to influence an event that could transform how your organization approaches insurance decisions. The companies already using these methods aren't just reducing premiums - they're making fundamentally better risk transfer decisions.

Take the survey and help us build workshops that deliver genuine, measurable value to the risk and insurance community.

Coherent and rational preferences should make preferred outcomes more frequent and undesirable ones less frequent. Most popular risk methods don't even try to test this. — Douglas W. Hubbard Great resource for risk managers, highly recommended

Verbal likelihood scales are not a simplification of probability — they are a substitution of vagueness for precision, at the cost of decision quality. — Douglas W. Hubbard Great resource for risk managers, highly recommended

When a risk method does not force you to think in new ways, it is not managing risk — it is managing appearances. — Douglas W. Hubbard Great resource for risk managers, highly recommended
