Maximum Information launches PsiClone ahead of North Atlantic hurricane season
June 9, 2026
Maximum Information today announces the launch of PsiClone, a new live event monitoring platform that helps insurers, reinsurers and underwriting teams monitor portfolio exposure and act earlier during active tropical cyclone events.
Built for use before and during live catastrophe events, PsiClone continuously analyses evolving storm forecasts against insurance portfolios in real time. The platform enables firms to identify exposure hotspots, prioritise high-risk accounts and mobilise underwriting, claims and response operations earlier.
The MVP release comes as insurers and reinsurers prepare for another active North Atlantic hurricane season, with underwriting, claims and portfolio management teams under increasing pressure to monitor exposure dynamically as storms evolve. While many operational workflows focus primarily on short-range forecasts of less than a week, PsiClone extends monitoring visibility up to 15 days ahead using continuous ensemble forecast analytics.
Despite advances in catastrophe management, many live event decisions still rely on fragmented workflows, deterministic storm tracks and delayed exposure analysis. PsiClone has been developed to address this gap by combining live forecast intelligence, portfolio analytics and ensemble uncertainty modelling within a single operational environment.
Developed through ongoing collaboration with partners across the re/insurance market, PsiClone applies catastrophe modelling philosophy without requiring full deterministic CAT model execution workflows. The platform continuously ingests live ECMWF ensemble forecasts, helping firms assess uncertainty beyond a single storm track or short-range outlook window.
PsiClone enables users to:
- Monitor portfolio exposure (including TIV, PD and BI) against live tropical cyclone ensemble forecasts across the Atlantic basin and beyond
- Identify high-risk accounts and regions up to 15 days before potential landfall
- Define exposure thresholds and automate reporting of key portfolio risk metrics
- Analyse forecast uncertainty, establish operational response triggers and support claims mobilisation during active events
- Integrate with event, loss and impact data from catastrophe modelling and data vendors
- Support underwriting, claims and reinsurance teams with portfolio monitoring and client engagement
PsiClone is being released initially as a minimum viable product (MVP) for the 2026 North Atlantic hurricane season, with further capabilities already under development. Planned enhancements include expanded uncertainty modelling, enhanced loss distributions and anticipatory parametric pricing analytics. Humanitarian pilots are also underway to support disaster risk management and anticipatory financing applications ahead of the upcoming Southern Hemisphere cyclone season in November.
Tom Philp, CEO and Founder of Maximum Information, said:
“PsiClone was inspired in part by what I saw during Hurricane Maria. The storm was forecast days in advance, yet funding and operational response still moved too slowly once impacts began to materialise.”
“At the time, I was working at a capacity provider and saw firsthand how difficult it was for organisations to act early during extreme events, even when the losses were visible.”
“PsiClone is designed to help close that gap by connecting live forecast data directly to exposure monitoring and operational decision-making. The goal is to help insurers and stakeholders respond earlier and reduce the time to payout when it matters most.”
