Problem

Farmers and forest owners affected by wildfires must collect 5+ types of documents from different agencies to file Insurance claims—damage area assessment, photo evidence, appraisal reports, and municipal damage certificates. Document preparation alone takes 2–3 weeks on average, and 30% of claims are rejected due to incomplete paperwork.

Solution

Upload damage site photos → AI-based automatic damage area estimation → auto-generated required document checklist → auto-fill forms matching each municipality's and insurer's templates → progress tracking dashboard. Satellite imagery before/after comparison provides objective damage scope calculation.

Target: Forest-owning farmers (aged 50–70), agricultural Insurance agents

Revenue Model: $29.25 Per Transaction per claim filed. Monthly plan for Insurance agents: $44.25/month (includes 10 claims, additional claims at $21.75 each).
