Outage Insurance
Parametric cover that pays when a GPU cluster goes down. Triggered by objective performance data. Measured by independent calculating agents. No claims process. No litigation. Settlement in days to weeks.
What we're solving.
A GPU cluster outage costs the buyer more than the cluster ever earned the provider. Training runs fail; inference revenue stops; production SLAs break, reputations fall apart. Cloud contracts typically offer service credits capped at a percentage of the monthly bill — which does not come close to the business loss.
How it works.
A parametric insurance policy that pays an agreed amount when objective performance data shows a covered outage has occurred. Triggers are defined against an institutional-grade uptime index and against independently measured cluster performance — no loss adjustment, no dispute over causation, no months of claims process.
Policies are issued by Lloyd's syndicates and rated carriers, placed by Forward Compute acting as the broker of record.
Built for these counterparties.
- AI labs and enterprises with production inference revenue exposed to cluster downtime
- GPU clouds selling bundled uptime guarantees to enterprise customers
- Lenders financing AI-dependent businesses that require business-interruption protection
