Completeness rules

This topic contains information about geographic rules, values and terms rules, primary risk characteristics rules, and secondary risk characteristics rules.

Geographic rules

Geographic rules help you identify locations with empty or missing location information. Without accurate location information, you run the risk of analyzing locations whose attributes may include an incorrect soil type or an incorrect distance to a coastline, which can significantly affect modeled losses. The following table describes the settings in the available rules, including the settings in our default rule set.

Values and terms rules

Values and terms rules help you identify locations with specific or no replacement values, with specific limits, and/or with specific deductible information. You can also configure the rules to flag locations with values above or below a specific range, such as locations with a building replacement value less than or equal to $50,000. The following table describes the settings in the available rules, including the settings in our default rule set.

Primary risk characteristics rules

Primary risk characteristics rules help you identify locations with unknown values for key building attributes. You can also configure the rules to flag locations that match specific Touchstone codes or that have placeholder values. Since these values make up part of the damage function that Touchstone uses to calculate modeled losses for a location, it is important that they are accurate and complete. The following table describes the settings in the available rules, including the settings in the default rule set.

Secondary risk characteristics rules

Secondary risk characteristic rules help you identify locations with unknown values for secondary building attributes. You can also configure the rules to flag locations that match specific Touchstone codes.

By default, this rule set is not enabled in the AIR (Default) completeness rule set. Select the check box if you want to enable it. The following table describes the settings in the available rules, including the settings in our default rule set. The descriptive information notes the peril-specific rules that apply to the attribute.
