About loss analyses
Touchstone enables you to model catastrophic (CAT) events to estimate property and workers' compensation losses.
About the detailed loss analysis module
Use the detailed loss analysis module to run a detailed loss analysis on the same exposure data that you imported for catastrophe modeling.
Reference: Detailed loss analysis
New Detailed Loss Analysis pane
Use the New Detailed Loss Analysis pane to configure and run a probabilistic detailed loss analysis on one or more exposure views or contracts in your project.

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.
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.
Hazard analysis
Hazard analysis enable you to identify the relevant catastrophe hazards for locations in your exposure data.

      - Apply Reinsurance Programs pane
        The Apply Reinsurance Programs pane contains fields and buttons that enable you to select a reinsurance program to apply to analysis results.
      - Output Options pane
        Configure the output that Touchstone generates for various loss analyses.
      - Analysis management pane
        Use this pane to configure how Touchstone should run analyses; a subset of these fields may be available in the template.
    - Model numbers and abbreviations in the Summary EP table
- Loss Group analysis
  A Loss Group analysis enables you to combine two or more sets of loss results from different analyses into a single loss view, or group, which is then available for use as input to subsequent processes or analyses.
- CAT XOL analysis
  A catastrophe excess of loss reinsurance program (CAT XOL) indemnifies the ceding company for that portion of the loss that exceeds the limit of its own retention per event.
- Marginal impact analysis
  A marginal impact analysis enables you to view the effect that a specific loss results set (the target or new portfolio/contract) has on another loss results set (the reference portfolio).

Field	Description
Analysis Target	Select the target or targets for this analysis. To select multiple targets to run simultaneously in separate analyses, click the down arrow and then select the analysis targets (exposure views or contracts) to include in the analysis.
Apply Template	Select the analysis template to use. The Florida Rate Filing Analysis Template uses analysis settings required by the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation (FLOIR).
Non-Geocoded Exposures	Displays the percent of exposure data that has not been geocoded. The percent is based on location count. If the percent is high, you may want to fix your exposure data before running an analysis; this is because Touchstone does not generate results for non-geocoded locations.
Loss Diagnostics	The diagnostics enable you to specify analysis, reinsurance, output, and analysis management settings.
Analysis Name	Enter a name for the analysis. If the analysis target is a single exposure view or contract, you can leave the default, which is the exposure view name or the contract ID and the type of analysis, or you can enter a unique alphanumeric identifier. If the analysis target includes multiple exposure views or contracts, you cannot change the default name, which is `Auto name ('n' items)`. When the analysis target is a single exposure view or contract, entering some combination of the exposure view name or the contract ID along with the analysis type enables you to find result sets quickly in the Activity Monitor.
Analysis Prefix (Optional)	Enter a prefix to distinguish between analysis results when you run an analysis with multiple targets. Touchstone generates separate analysis results for each analysis target.
