What became of it
Blocked · Low confidence · Last verified 2026-10-17
Research is blocked: there was not enough public evidence to establish what became of this innovation. Nothing below should be read as a verified 2026 status.
As catalogued
Intermediary that validated and aggregated smart-home IoT data to compute a property risk score for insurers, at a time when carriers had little experience using connected-home data in underwriting.
2026 reality
The catalog domain authoritydata.com no longer resolves in DNS (checked 2026-10-17). Targeted searches in October 2026 found no coverage after the April 2018 Global Insurance Accelerator showcase, where co-founder Tom Smith pitched AuthorityData as an intermediary turning homeowners' smart-home device data into a property score for insurers.
No developments after the 2018 Global Insurance Accelerator cohort could be established.
REVIEW · Re-confirmed the 2018 GIS showcase source (co-founder Tom Smith) and that authoritydata.com has no DNS record; one further search found no later activity. No changes; remains BLOCKED.
