Risk Pilot
GRIP Risk Intelligence Transit & geopolitical risk
Part of Synlogica Terminus
GRIP Risk Intelligence reads corridor and transit exposure for cargo and marine underwriting: the Red Sea and Panama Canal escalations assessed against a book of business, not against headlines, with exposure monitoring aligned to how the book is actually written.
The problem
Transit & geopolitical risk
Underwriters do not lack news about the Red Sea. They lack a way to say what an escalation does to the specific book they carry: which policies, which routes, which accumulation. Headline monitoring answers the first question and leaves the second to a spreadsheet.
What it does
- 01 Maps corridors and chokepoints with a scored escalation state, and keeps the method and the sources behind each score visible.
- 02 Aligns exposure monitoring to the cargo book — routes, values, accumulations — so an escalation reads as a change in exposure, not a change in mood.
- 03 Exposes the same signals through an API, for integration into underwriting workbenches and portfolio tools.
Who it is for
Cargo and marine underwriters, portfolio managers and risk functions at insurers and MGAs. In pilot today; the enterprise contract follows the pilot's diligence pack.
Where it stands
Pilot Pilot — in use with early customers. Scope, data and success criteria are agreed per pilot, and we say what is production and what is prototype before you ask.
Key capabilities
GRIP Risk Intelligence
- 01
One auditable daily feed
Country risk scores, chokepoint severity and sanctions exposure in a single UTC snapshot, with provenance from ACLED, UCDP, GDELT and OFAC/EU/UN lists.
- 02
World risk map
Corridors and chokepoints with a scored escalation state, aligned to how a cargo book is written rather than to headlines.
- 03
Forecast horizons
Four calibration windows, from days to a quarter, so the desk sees where an escalation is heading, not only where it is.
- 04
REST API for the underwriting desk
A documented OpenAPI surface — unified map aggregate and granular endpoints — with a public preview at 24-hour delay and an enterprise tier.
- 05
Diligence pack for procurement
Model card, security summary, subprocessors and a pilot evaluation protocol, ready for an insurer's due diligence.
Three decisions, one engine
Where regulated teams lose time and money
Three decision domains, each a Terminus module sharing one governed decision framework — so rules, versioning and the audit trail behave identically whether the question is a temperature excursion, a freight tender or a supplier price.
Quality
Temperature excursions assessed with Arrhenius + Monte-Carlo against the product's stability model — a recommendation with stated uncertainty, not a reviewer's guess.
See Terminus M4 →Transport
Tender leakage measured across SKU × lane × month, lanes scored by tail-risk — so spot-freight inflation is caught before invoices reconcile.
See Terminus M1 →Negotiation
MESO playbooks for API procurement — simultaneous-equivalent offers framed against a qualified BATNA when supplier qualification is the binding constraint.
See Terminus M5 →Terminus M4 is being validated under Synlogica's Integrated Management System (IMS) — ISO 9001 (quality), ISO 27001 (information security) and ISO 42001 (AI management) — on top of its GAMP 5 Category 4 lifecycle.
IMS certification target Q4 2026The same foundation as every Synlogica application
Every application in the portfolio carries the same controls, so an inspector who has seen one knows how to read the next.
- Versioned records — a record can be superseded, never silently altered.
- Electronic signature on every controlled step.
- An audit trail an inspector can follow, hash-chained end to end.
- Runs on your own tenant, hosted in the EU.
