Workplace Injury Prediction Tool for Insurance Carriers
API that predicts workplace injury claims from OSHA data, priced per query or monthly subscription.
Validated on May 1, 2026
This is a focused B2B tool for a specific pain point: workers' comp insurers need better risk assessment. The data source (OSHA) is public and defensible. Hard part is distribution — selling into insurance carriers requires trust and compliance cycles. Also, the pricing is low for enterprise sales. What has to be true: carriers are willing to replace or augment their current underwriting models with an external API.

OSHA data is public but underutilized for predictive underwriting. Insurance carriers have long sales cycles but high retention. Pricing per query aligns with usage, but enterprise prefers flat fees.
Clear need, large TAM in insurance. Claims prediction saves millions.
Why now
Heuristic scoring based on model judgment, not factual measurement.
AI models now cheap and accurate. Insurers digitizing underwriting. Few direct competitors in this niche.
The market timing is mixed. Technology enablement is favorable (free data, simple models), but demand signal is weak and distribution is challenging due to long sales cycles. The window is open for a lean experiment, but scaling will require significant trust-building.
