# Insurance & Risk

> How insurance carriers, reinsurers, and risk analytics firms can use Wherobots for catastrophe modeling, exposure analysis, and underwriting.

Insurance and risk analytics require evaluating environmental exposure across millions of policies and properties. Wherobots enables carriers and reinsurers to run large-scale spatial risk models, enrich policy data with hazard layers, and automate underwriting workflows that depend on location intelligence.

## How to use these solutions

Treat these notebooks as data engineering patterns as you evaluate Wherobots for your business or organization:
