A satellite said this depot was flooded. A $1.2M payout was about to fire automatically. It wasn't water. It was a shadow.
Parametric flood insurance pays the instant a satellite trigger fires, no adjuster on site. But on a single snapshot, floodwater and a passing cloud's shadow both just look dark. The trigger can't tell them apart.
So our demo, TriggerProof, steps back through the earlier satellite passes. Real floodwater stays put, frame after frame. This dark patch was there for one frame, gone in the next. It moved at the speed of a cloud. Water would have stayed. That one motion turns a $1.2M auto-payout into a DENY.
Across a synthetic 8-location book, a legacy trigger queued $8.0M in payouts. TriggerProof paid the real floods, withheld the shadows and reservoirs, and sent the one uncertain case to a human instead of guessing. $4.0M held back for proof.
All synthetic, physics-faithful data, scored on a fixed 60-case labeled set: zero unsafe automatic payouts, every uncertain case sent to a person.
Pull last month's parametric payouts. How many fired on one satellite frame nobody checked?
