Icarus' Parachute · Risk transfer for peace of mind

A fair premium for every agent in production.

The myth of Icarus was not a warning against flight. It was a warning against believing altitude removes consequence. Autonomous AI gives enterprises unprecedented leverage, speed, and reach — the modern equivalent of wax wings. Icarus' Parachute ensures that when those systems encounter heat, pressure, or failure, the financial impact remains survivable through continuously calibrated and fully auditable insurance pricing.

Not a quote pulled from a vendor's gut. A premium derived from your loss distribution — event by event.

How the premium is built
STEP / 01
Inherit

Start from the Icarus Threshold loss distribution — the same distribution your CFO already sees.

STEP / 02
Integrate

Compute the actuarially fair base premium directly from that distribution — pure math, no opinions.

STEP / 03
Profile

Load the specific characteristics of the AI being insured: autonomy, data class, tool surface, operator maturity.

STEP / 04
Adjust

Apply transparent debits and credits — premium moves up or down with visible, defensible rationale.

STEP / 05
Quote

Output a final premium an underwriter, broker, or captive program can stand behind line by line.

STEP / 06
Recalibrate

As behavior, exposure, and incidents shift, the premium re-prices continuously — never stale.

Components

Actuarially fair base premium

The pure premium is computed directly from the Icarus Threshold loss distribution — expected loss plus a transparent risk load. No black-box pricing, no vendor discretion. The same number an actuary would derive given the same distribution.

Pure-premium derivationDistribution-drivenAuditor-grade

Risk-profile adjustments

The base premium is adjusted upward or downward based on the specific characteristics of the AI being insured: autonomy level, blast radius, data sensitivity, operator controls, and incident history. Every adjustment is itemized.

Debits & creditsItemizedOperator-aware

Audit-ready derivation

Every premium ships with the math: which distribution it came from, which adjustments applied, what evidence supported each one. Defensible to brokers, underwriters, regulators, and the captive board.

Periodic re-underwriting

The premium recalibrates as runtime behavior changes. New incidents, new tool grants, new data classes — the price moves as the risk does. No surprises at renewal.
