Claims and loss adjustment

Every claim, against what the satellite saw.The loss adjuster goes to validate, not to search.

Ucotron measures the event footprint, sorts the claims from the day after, and compares each field before and after. What can't be seen, it says. And every case ends in a signed assessment that a person decides.

  • 10 mthe before-and-after pixel
  • 2 · 5 · 10 kmthe lightning rings

Simulation: the footprint of the Córdoba storm of Sep 19, 2026 advances every ten minutes over claims from a demo portfolio, which are sorted into three queues: consistent, inconclusive, and no consistent activity.

What happens today

Payment is based on what's claimed.And it's settled on what someone estimated during a visit.

The loss adjuster has to go to the farm to validate, not to search.

How we work
  • Hundreds of claims on the same dayAfter a storm they all come in at once. The loss adjuster goes out looking for where it hit, instead of validating.
  • The satellite, read by handSome companies already compare Sentinel-2 before and after, but field by field: expert and one-off, with little automation.
  • One visit and one sampleFive sampling points across dozens of hectares. It's settled on what one person estimated that day.
  • Unverified lightningAn electrical damage claim is accepted without checking whether there were strikes near the site at that hour.

The day after

Córdoba, Sep 19, 2026: the storm every 10 minutes.And every claim, in its queue.

With GLM lightning and cloud-top temperature, Ucotron measures the event footprint in high, medium, and low bands. Then it cross-checks it against the claimed fields or homes, so the loss adjuster goes first where it matters most.

  1. Consistent

    The location falls in high or medium signal within the declared window. The loss adjuster goes here first.

  2. Inconclusive

    Low signal, footprint edge, or no image yet. It stays with its reason, waiting for more evidence.

  3. No consistent activity

    No signal at the point in that window. It's not a rejection: a person reviews it, with the evidence in front of them.

Verify a hail event

Armstrong, Feb 18, 2026: the field before and after.Against its own seasons, not a snapshot.

To separate the event's damage from what the field always does, Ucotron compares greenness pixel by pixel at 10 m and subtracts the control from the previous three seasons.

Answers
Consistent, not consistent, or not measurable, with hectares per band.

What it doesn't sayThe damage percentage or the loss. With clouds or edges, the pixel stays gray: not measurable.

The assessment

One signed assessment per case.That anyone can verify with the QR.

What was examined, the date of each data point, and what couldn't be measured. It attaches to the claim and holds up to review.

  • 01Every source, with its dateWhich satellite, which pass, and at what time. Nothing without a source.
  • 02The field controlWhat the field did in its previous seasons, so the event isn't confused with the usual.
  • 03The “not measurable” branchWith clouds, shadows, or edges, it says so. Not seeing it doesn't mean it didn't happen.
  • 04Signature and QRSHA-256 hash of the document, verifiable with the QR even offline.
  • 05A person decidesNo assessment rejects a claim: if it isn't consistent, it routes it to whoever must review it.
