The Climate Risk Group

XDI

The Climate Risk Group's XDI is a physical-risk specialist whose Climate Risk Engines combine sub-asset structural and engineering data with climate and hazard projections to model damage at the level of individual building elements. It returns asset- and portfolio-level ratings across multiple hazards on demand, with engineering-based metrics such as Maximum-to-Date Value-at-Risk and Productivity Loss at fine (down to ~5 m) resolution under IPCC scenarios to 2100; a published methodology white paper describes the hazard-to-asset modelling. Distinctive for engineering-led damage modelling — simulating how assets physically fail — applied to capital-allocation, lending and planning decisions.

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.

Methodology-relevant: vendor websites or external resources explain methodological details.

Methodology-relevant: XDI publishes a substantive methodology white paper on its physical-risk (hazard-to-asset) modelling; deeper technical parameters remain proprietary.
