What a signpost is How to read this page

A watched question with a line drawn in advance

The threshold was written before the observation existed. That is what stops a state from being argued into place after the fact.

Four states, no probabilities

Observed, emerging, contested, not observed. These are qualitative readings against the threshold. No number is invented here, because an invented number would be the most quotable and least true thing on the page.

It stays alive between revisions

The update condition names what would move the state. A signpost that has stayed quiet is information too, and is published rather than hidden.

Prevention and Resilience Finance versus Exclusion

Qualitative signpost review · no probability assigned

Bounded observation

EIOPA reported that only 17% of surveyed respondents held property-damage coverage for natural catastrophes and described affordability, unclear terms and adverse claims experience as barriers; it also outlined proposed public-private EU reinsurance and disaster-fund pillars. The protection-gap and public-backstop sides are visible, but measured prevention-linked product outcomes are absent.

Trigger threshold

Move to observed only when deployed prevention-linked insurance or resilience products publish measured prevention and coverage outcomes, with access, pricing and exclusion effects reported by risk and income segment.

Counter-indicator

The 17% figure is survey-reported property coverage, not verified policy-level inclusion; proposed EU pillars are not enacted balance sheets, and the source does not test granular-pricing discrimination or prevention efficacy.

Update criterion

Track enacted EU/national schemes, coverage by income and risk segment, appeals, pricing and prevention-linked loss outcomes; reclassify contested if measurement or access effects diverge and downgrade if coverage gaps close without exclusion.
