Vendor methodology

Transparency Score

Beta

Public transparency, not model quality iThe Transparency Score (0–3) estimates public methodological transparency: the degree to which the vendor's analytical approach to modeling climate and nature risk can be assessed from publicly available sources. It is explicitly not a measure of vendor quality or accuracy.

1

Product-level: public materials indicate risk scope and outputs, but little detail on modeling approach.

Product-relevant: one public document provides technical detail on the Climate Value-at-Risk (Climate VaR) methodology and further methodological information is available on request; beyond that, no public technical documentation was identified.

For further information, see the section 'Transparency Score methodology' in the Readme.
