Why you need a risk decision platform
One workspace, one truth, better decisions.

Data about risk is everywhere - predictive modelling, historic, insurance policies and submission, terms and wordings, projections and actuarial analyses. The challenge isn’t a lack of information; it’s turning that flood of inputs into confident decisions before the window to act closes. Catamaran was built for this exact moment.
Catamaran aggregates all internal and external risk data into one clear view, empowering you to quickly decide whether to retain, write, or transfer risk.
What Catamaran, our risk decision platform does:
Aggregates every source
Internal files, risk-specific details, and third-party or proprietary models flow into one workspace. Goodbye patchwork spreadsheets.
Lets smart software sift the noise
Agent-style AI flags the real drivers, stress-tests scenarios, and answers natural-language questions. It’s like talking to a colleague who already absorbed every document in the stack.
Keeps everyone in sync
Brokers, insurers, investors, and regulators work off the same live “risk object,” commenting and comparing in real time with a built-in audit trail.
Connects straight to action
When the numbers look right, quote, bind, or hedge without leaving the platform. Everything syncs back to the systems you already run.
