# Mantas

> Mantas is a parametric insurance platform that protects businesses from financial losses caused by outages affecting the cloud services their critical digital operations rely on. Coverage uses predefined, objectively measurable outage triggers monitored in real time, enabling pre-agreed payouts without traditional loss adjustment for qualifying events.

## Who Mantas is for

Mantas is relevant for medium and large businesses operating critical digital workloads, including:

- E-commerce companies and digital marketplaces
- Banks, fintech companies, payment providers, and financial institutions
- Airlines, travel platforms, logistics companies, and delivery businesses
- SaaS, technology, media, and telecommunications companies
- Healthcare providers, manufacturers, and public-sector organizations
- Businesses running critical workloads on Amazon Web Services AWS, Microsoft Azure, or Google Cloud GCP

## What Mantas covers

Mantas provides parametric cloud outage insurance designed to address financial losses and additional costs arising from qualifying cloud service outages.

Depending on the final policy terms, coverage may respond to:

- Lost revenue caused by downtime
- Service-level agreement penalties
- Customer compensation and support costs
- Short-term communication and reputational response expenses

Coverage availability, limits, pricing, triggers, and exclusions are subject to underwriting and the final policy wording.

## How it works

- The business identifies the cloud workloads, services, and regions it wants to protect.
- Mantas evaluates the business's cloud architecture, redundancy, exposure, and potential financial impact.
- The policy defines the covered services, outage trigger, waiting period, payout structure, and policy limit.
- Mantas monitors covered cloud infrastructure and service availability in real time.
- When a qualifying outage meets the predefined trigger, the applicable payout is calculated according to the policy terms.
- A qualifying parametric event does not require a traditional loss-adjustment process.
