Floodcaster
Floodcaster sits above your existing determination vendor and produces the auditable record of the evidence behind the determination — replayable to any date.

U.S. Patent Application No. 19/575,615 · patent pending · Next Shift Consulting LLC
The examination
“Show us how you reached this property’s flood-zone determination of record as of 2023.”
The borrower dispute
“Produce the determination my client was force-placed on.”
The buyback demand
“Prove the flood status as verified at origination.”
Each ends the same way: the answer has to be reproducible, not remembered.
Floodcaster does not issue flood zone determinations.
It does not model flood risk.
It does not compute hydrology.
The record describes the evidence behind your vendor’s determination; it never substitutes for it.
Flood is the first vertical. The certificate is peril-agnostic — the same admissibility contract (evidence, scope, limits, replay) can govern any regulated automated decision.
Flood earns the category because it starts with a mandatory decision that already exists. No dates, no dollar ramp — market structure, not promises.
