Deal pricing at lightning speed
No more waiting on models or spreadsheets to refresh after adjusting layer terms. Never lose deal flow again because your systems couldn't keep up with submissions.
Deal pricing and portfolio roll-up, built to run headless.
Foundation is our cloud platform for reinsurance and ILS: price deals in seconds, roll up the portfolio in real time, and surface it all through your own screens or ours. Winner of Bermuda's Tech Innovation Award.
Industry challenges we solve
Reinsurance and ILS professionals face constant pressure to make faster, better, data-driven decisions while managing risk across complex portfolios.
Visualize your deals and portfolios
Dozens of graphical, interactive dashboards. See deals and portfolios in real time, including PML curves and exposure maps, and identify risks, opportunities and market trends.
Unlimited data access
Direct access to Foundation's database for deep integration with in-house systems. ClickHouse-powered analytics are fast and accurate.
Customize, customize, customize
Create your own risk metrics, entry screens, visualizations, loss data generators and legacy import screens. No two Foundation implementations are alike.
Price it. Then choose where you see it.
One pricing engine. Your screens, our screens, Power BI, or just ask your AI.
Foundation prices a deal in under half a second: add a layer, move the rate, and price, expected loss, marginal PML and portfolio impact follow. That engine runs headless, so the same numbers can appear in Foundation's own screens, in a workbench your team designs, in Power BI, or in a conversation with your AI assistant.
The last frame shows the newest surface. Connected to Foundation through MCP, your AI assistant — Claude, ChatGPT, Copilot or one you have built — can do everything a user can do in the UI: create and renew deals, change terms, run analyses, roll up the portfolio and report back, from inside your own workbench, with the same permissions and a full audit trail.

Foundation MCP
Connect your AI to Foundation and talk to your book.
Foundation ships with a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server. Connect any MCP-capable assistant — Claude, ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot or an agent you have built — and it can perform everything a person can through the UI: create a deal from a submission, renew last year's with new terms, generate a custom loss distribution, run an analysis, compare versions, roll up the portfolio and produce the report, all from a chat window or from an agent inside your own systems.
It works wherever your assistant works: desktop and web chat apps, coding agents, or an AI assistant you have built yourself. We are vendor-neutral by design; MCP is an open standard and the connection is the same whichever model you choose. Every action runs as the signed-in user with their permissions, and every action is logged, so the audit trail is identical to a click in the UI.
Ask to see it on a demo call.
Everything the UI can do
Deals, versions, terms, loss distributions, analyses, roll-ups, reports. If an underwriter can click it, your assistant can be asked for it.
Your permissions, your audit trail
The assistant acts as the signed-in user. Nothing it can see or change is beyond what that user could do by hand, and every call is logged.
From inside your tools
Use it from the chat app your team already has, or wire it into the workbench or agent you run. Foundation's screens are optional.
Built on an open standard
MCP is an open protocol supported by Anthropic, OpenAI, Microsoft and others, so you are never tied to one vendor's assistant.

Foundation in action
See how Foundation transforms reinsurance operations with tools designed for industry professionals.
“Before implementing Foundation, our pricing process took days, used cumbersome spreadsheets and was prone to errors. Now we can price deals in seconds with confidence, run portfolio stress tests on-demand, and provide management with insightful and beautiful, interactive reports that used to take weeks to compile.”
— Chief Underwriting Officer, Specialty ReinsurerThe Foundation advantage
Your Foundation. Your advantage.
MCP: your AI runs the platform
Any MCP-capable assistant can price, renew, analyse and report in Foundation as the signed-in user. The platform becomes something your team talks to, not just clicks through.
Live portfolio impact
Every deal is priced against the book as it stands: marginal PML, capacity used and return on capital update as you change a layer, not after a batch run.
What-if scenario generator
Stress the portfolio before you commit. Generate scenarios across rate, retention, attachment and event sets and see the roll-up move in seconds.
Deal selection rules
Encode your appetite — limits by zone, peril, counterparty and return threshold — so every submission is screened against the rules the committee actually set.
Improved efficiency
Reduce deal analysis time by up to 80% and eliminate the manual processes that slow your team down.
Enterprise security
Cloud security with encryption, role-based access and compliance with industry standards.
Better decisions
Data-driven decisions with real-time analytics and comprehensive portfolio insight.
Lower cost
Enterprise-level technology at a fraction of the cost of building and maintaining it yourself — and still fully yours on top.
