Aligned with Australia's National Climate Risk Assessment 2025

The ClimateNest
Intelligence Engine

Property-Specific Climate Risk Assessment Powered by Advanced AI

We combine authoritative Australian climate data sources with Google's Gemini AI to deliver address-level climate intelligence—not suburb averages.

Multi-Source Integration

We synthesise Open-Meteo climate records, ABS economic indicators, state-level hazard overlays and local authority data to create a single trusted evidence-base for each address.

  • High-resolution historical climate
  • Official economic context from ABS
  • State bushfire & flood overlays

AI-Powered Synthesis

A two-pass architecture: a structured scoring pass produces measurable scores and chart-ready datasets, followed by an actuary-grade narrative pass that translates risk into financial impact.

  • Deterministic numeric scoring
  • Recharts-ready datasets and action cards
  • Australian English, actuarial tone

Granular Risk Modeling

Address-level resolution with ensemble projections, insurance modelling and local adaptation playbooks so you can understand both near-term and long-term exposures.

  • Address-level flood & bushfire scores
  • Scenario-driven value impacts (2035/2050)
  • Actionable retrofit & cost estimates

Financial Translation

We convert physical hazard scores into forward-looking financial projections. Sample outputs below are illustrative and based on ensemble model outputs.

  • Estimated market value (now): A$1,200,000
  • Projected dollar impact 2035: -A$45,000
  • Projected dollar impact 2050: -A$120,000

Scenario Summary

High flood exposure: Insurability warning — estimated 2.5x premium loading.

Bushfire elevated: BAL remediation recommended — est. +A$40k construction uplift.

These figures are calibrated for Australian markets and are model outputs, not binding quotes.

Limitations of Methodology

1. Probabilistic Nature: Our climate risk scores (Heat, Flood, Bushfire) are probabilistic estimates based on current RCP 8.5 scenarios. They represent potential future risks, not guaranteed outcomes. A "Low Risk" score does not mean "No Risk."

2. Data Latency: We utilise datasets from third-party providers (including BOM, ABS, and Open-Meteo). While we update our database regularly, real-world conditions may have changed since the last data release.

3. Property Specifics: This methodology assesses risk at a lot or suburb level. It does not account for property-specific mitigations you may have installed (e.g., retaining walls, raised floor levels, fire-resistant materials) which would significantly lower your actual risk.

4. Not a Site Survey: This analysis is purely digital and AI-driven. It is not a substitute for a physical site inspection by a qualified surveyor or engineer.
