Data Quality analysis
The most effective way to assess and enhance portfolio-level or contract-level catastrophe exposure data is to use Touchstone's Data Quality diagnostics. These diagnostics enable you to determine the strengths and weaknesses of the exposure data you are using for analyses and supplement that data when it is missing or weak.

New Data Quality Analysis pane
Use the New Data Quality Analysis pane to configure and run an analysis on one or more exposure views or contracts.
Scoring Data pane
The Data Quality Score Data diagnostic assigns portfolio- and location-level scores to your exposure data to help you identify high-risk exposures with large replacement values and data quality issues.

Using Touchstone online Help
You can access the top-level or context-sensitive Touchstone online help from within the application or from the Client Portal. You can then search for content, bookmark pages, and generate output to other formats.
Import data from external sources
You can import exposure data, map layers, projects, and reinsurance packages from external sources into Touchstone databases.
Projects and exposure views
Projects are a useful way to organize your data. They contain exposure views that contain the data that you want to focus on.
Geospatial analysis
Geospatial analysis enables you to perform a deterministic risk analysis with your own view of risk on accumulations of property exposures and workers' compensation information in given areas exposed to natural and man-made catastrophes.
Exposure data validation
Verisk provides a reference containing information about Touchstone exposure data.

  - Working with Data Quality analyses
    This topic describes the basic tasks that apply to each type of Data Quality diagnostic.
  - Working with rule sets
    The Validate Data and Augment diagnostics use rule sets to assess and update key location attributes that can affect modeled losses.
  - Viewing and exporting or copying Data Quality results
    This topic describes how to view and export or copy Data Quality results.

      - Validate Data Options Pane
        The Data Quality Validate Data diagnostic enables you to assess the quality of your exposure data by running a portfolio against a set of completeness rules and reasonability rules.
      - Create Rating Agency Report Options pane
        Rating agency reports enable you to generate exposure data totals for use in response to the Percentage of Data Containing Known Attributes and Most Frequently Observed Value questions of the AM Best Property/Casualty Supplemental Ratings Questionnaire (SRQ).
      - Review Industry Data Options pane
        The Data Quality Review Industry Data diagnostic enables you to view industry risk counts and replacement value totals contained in our Industry Exposure Database.
      - Compare with Industry Data Options pane
        The Data Quality Compare with Industry Data diagnostic enables you to compare portfolio data to industry averages, distributions, and totals contained in our Industry Exposure Database
      - Enhance with Property-Specific Data and/or User-Specified Values pane
        The Data Quality Augment diagnostic enhances the quality of your exposure data when higher quality data exists in our property-specific database (PSD). You can also enhance data with user-specified values. This diagnostic helps you to improve the data quality of any problem areas you may have identified when using the Validate, Score, and Benchmark diagnostics.

Scoring Data pane

The Data Quality Score Data diagnostic assigns portfolio- and location-level scores to your exposure data to help you identify high-risk exposures with large replacement values and data quality issues.

Project Data > All Exposure Views > {Select an Exposure View} > New Analysis: Data Quality Analysis > New Data Quality Analysis > Score Data > Scoring Data pane

Admin > Administration Console > Object Management > Data Quality Analysis Template > Score Data > Scoring Data pane

Use this pane to configure a Score Data diagnostic as part of a Data Quality analysis; a subset of these fields may be available in the Data Quality template.


Field	Description	Can Be Included in a Template?
Use maximum of hurricane and severe storm	Specifies that Touchstone should use the peril (Hurricane or Severe Storm only) with the higher modeled loss cost to calculate the scores for this analysis.	Yes
Apply selected peril	Specifies that Touchstone should use the selected peril (Earthquake, Hurricane, or Severe Storm) to calculate the scores for all locations for this analysis.	Yes
Use maximum loss cost peril	Specifies that Touchstone should use the peril (Earthquake, Hurricane, or Severe Storm) with the highest modeled loss cost, based on the location and characteristics of the exposure, to calculate the scores for all locations for this analysis.	Yes

Administrators can use the Administration Console to set various defaults for use during analyses. For more information, see "Data Quality (Administration)".

Note:

You can create and edit Data Quality analysis templates to specify default settings for analyses. When you create or edit a template, you can specify any of the settings indicated in the table above to include these settings in the template. For more information, see "Data Quality Analysis Template".
