What Copilot Adds: The Reasoning Layer
Copilot reads the entire RiskFootprint™ report and produces a professional, defensible narrative using underwriting appropriate hedging language. It:
• Synthesizes multi agency hazard intelligence
• Provides a 20 year disaster chronology
• Tailors recommendations to the user’s role
• Creates a clear, auditable summary that accelerates decision making
This is not a “score.”
It is a narrative — the missing piece in hazard based due diligence.
