### <mark style="color:purple;">Problems Solved</mark>

<mark style="color:green;">Complex Product Design</mark>

A primary concern is the inherent complexity of home and contents insurance policies.&#x20;

This complexity often results in difficulty for consumers to effectively compare options, leading to <mark style="color:yellow;">unintentional underinsurance</mark>. Such policies, with their intricate details and fine print, can obscure the full extent of coverage, leaving many homeowners unaware of their vulnerability until it is too late.

#### <mark style="color:green;">Unaffordable Premiums</mark>

Alarmingly, a vast majority of policyholders have reported increases in their insurance premiums, highlighting a trend towards unaffordability, particularly in regions prone to natural disasters.&#x20;

This trend has disproportionately affected low-income households, many of which find themselves priced out of the insurance market altogether.&#x20;

The escalation in premiums, with an average rise of 28% within a year and spikes up to 50% in high-risk areas, underscores the urgent need for intervention to address affordability and access.

#### <mark style="color:green;">Inaccessible Risk Information</mark>

The challenge is further compounded by the difficulty in accessing reliable and comprehensive information on natural hazard risks.&#x20;

The scattered and often inaccurate data complicates the assessment of risks, hindering homeowners' ability to make informed decisions about insurance and risk mitigation.

#### <mark style="color:green;">Ignored Mitigation Efforts by Homeowners</mark>

Many homeowners are willing to invest in risk mitigation measures to potentially lower their insurance costs. However, these efforts are frequently overlooked by insurers when pricing policies, discouraging proactive measures that could benefit both the homeowner and the insurer in the long term.
