**HailAnalyzer**

HailAnalyzer is an interactive, browser-based web application designed to help insurance agencies and sales teams visualize and communicate hail risk to clients. By generating live, satellite-backed risk maps based on US ZIP codes, the app transforms abstract statistics into tangible visual evidence to help agents close deals with confidence.



Note: This project is a non-commercial academic prototype created as a student assignment for the International Space University (ISU). All commercial claims, "ROI" figures, and pricing tiers on the application are illustrative concepts for educational purposes only.

**Key Features**

Instant Risk Visualization: Enter any US ZIP code and instantly fly to the client's neighborhood to see local hail risk displayed on a live heatmap.



Live Satellite Intelligence: Built on real-time and historical data including CAPE values from NASA, ERA5 satellite reanalysis, and NOAA historical hail reports.



AI-Generated Risk Profiles: Leverages AI to present a neutral, fact-based risk profile containing risk percentiles, annual probabilities, and historical frequencies.



Proprietary Data Fusion (Conceptual Feature): Demonstrates how agencies can layer their own historical claim data (frequency, payout severity) over public satellite data for an unmatched competitive advantage.



Zero-Friction Workflow: Runs entirely in the browser with no installation required, making it fast enough (under 2 seconds to load) to use live during a client call.
