Beyond Postcodes: Mapping True Exposure | Nick Franz of Altitude Intelligence
Making Risk Flow | The Future of Insurance
In this episode of Making Risk Flow: Exploring the Ecosystem, host Jake Harding speaks with Nick Franz, founder of Altitude Intelligence, on why traditional underwriting data can obscure true risk exposure. Due to his background in intelligence, Nick has asked that we protect his identity. Nick shares how geospatial and spatial intelligence, rooted in military tradecraft, can transform insurance decision-making. They explore why risk must be understood as a dynamic system, not a static label, and how embedding context at data ingestion enables faster, more accurate underwriting.
From identifying hidden dependencies to avoiding outdated datasets, the conversation reveals how leading insurers are building a durable competitive edge. The takeaway is clear: those who integrate intelligence-driven insights today will outperform, while others risk compounding losses and blind spots.
