Building Safety Sensor Data to Property Insurance Pricing

One-Liner

An insurance pricing bridge using building IoT sensor data, killed because building IoT has no standardized data protocol unlike auto or maritime, making aggregation a massive engineering challenge.

Kill Reason

Building IoT has no standardized data protocol (unlike auto or ship tracking standards). Aggregating sensor data across dozens of vendors with different formats is a massive engineering challenge. Existing competitors chose imagery-based approaches instead.
