This recognition is a significant milestone in the company’s journey to enhance risk assessment in property insurance.
Understanding ZestyAI’s Roof Quality Solution

This advanced solution utilizes high-resolution aerial imagery, 3D property analysis, and extensive real-world data to deliver precise property-specific risk assessments. Key features include:
- Standardized Condition Levels: The model categorizes roofs into five distinct condition levels, simplifying the assessment process.
- Identification of Issues: It effectively highlights both minor surface-level wear and more severe structural problems, such as water pooling and missing shingles.
- Cost Efficiency: The solution reduces the need for expensive physical inspections by providing accurate assessments remotely.
Regulatory Approval and Its Significance
The approval from CID followed a thorough third-party actuarial evaluation, which scrutinized ZestyAI’s methodology, data integrity, and compliance with regulatory standards. This endorsement reflects CID’s confidence in the model’s fairness, accuracy, and transparency.
According to Bryan Rehor, Director of Regulatory Affairs at ZestyAI, “Roof condition is one of the strongest predictors of loss, yet historically one of the hardest to assess without costly inspections. This approval affirms the accuracy, fairness, and transparency of our approach and reflects our broader commitment to aligning innovation with consumer protection.”
