Athena is a data vendor, providing conditional, geospatial data related to future wildfire probabilities. Designed for use by insurance actuaries, the AI/machine language tool is best described as a Hierarchical Classification and Probabilistic Ensemble Model which converts best-in-class wildfire data, from multiple siloed government and
academic sources, into easily usable data, updated quarterly, for a rolling 12-month future period. The data is traceable to original sources, highly nuanced and granular while still being usable at landscape scale.
The primary customers are electric utilities (IOU and POU), but municipalities(CWPPs) and some financial organizations are also customers. For utilities, the uses include Wildfire Mitigation Plan Maps (WMP), Public Safety Shutoff Plans (PSPS), circuit level wildfire risk, vegetation management, fire path spread models and Risk-Spend Efficiency (ROI) models.
The data is designed for business decision making.
