How the data feed works for your business

Postcode Risk Scores

Monthly feed of pothole density by postcode. Use it to adjust premiums or flag high-risk areas before a claim arrives.

Council Response Rates

Which councils fix defects within 28 days, and which routinely ignore them. Directly correlated with claim frequency.

Unactioned Defect Alerts

Receive alerts when high-severity defects remain unactioned past 28 days — flag policyholders in affected areas proactively.

Seasonal & Trend Analysis

Year-on-year defect trends by borough. Useful for actuarial modelling and reserve setting.

Historical Claims Matching

Match your existing claims history against our database. Validate where road condition was a contributing factor.

Independent Data Source

Our data is citizen-generated and independent of council reporting, making it a genuine second source for audits.
