The Canada Risks Index (CARIx) is a data infrastructure built to support Canada’s growing need for reliable, consistent, and decision-ready risk information. It provides a standardized way to collect, clean, and organize complex datasets—from weather systems and satellite feeds to financial reports and emergency data—into a format that’s ready for use by governments, insurers, researchers, and infrastructure planners

CARIx helps risk professionals across Canada understand where, when, and how threats may emerge—whether from wildfires, floods, health crises, supply chain disruptions, or infrastructure failure. It is designed to handle multiple data types and sources, enabling side-by-side comparisons, historical trend analysis, and forward-looking scenario testing

Canada's
Data Platform for Risk Intelligence

CARIx provides the foundational data infrastructure for quantifying, comparing, and simulating systemic risks across domains. By standardizing heterogeneous inputs into clause-certified, interoperable formats, it enables foresight benchmarking, policy calibration, and capital alignment within verifiable frameworks

What we do

Better Data. Smarter Decisions. A Safer Canada.

CARIx helps Canadian institutions turn complex data into reliable, consistent, and usable information for managing climate, financial, health, and infrastructure risks. It supports better planning, forecasting, and risk management 

Icon
Data Standardization

Making Risk Data Consistent and Actionable: CARIx brings together risk-related data from across Canada—federal, provincial, municipal, and private sources—and organizes it into a clear, unified format. This allows teams working in emergency management, infrastructure, finance, and climate adaptation to use the same, trusted foundation for analysis and response

Icon
Systemic Benchmarking

Comparing Risk Across Sectors and Regions: CARIx enables users to measure and compare risk exposure across provinces, economic sectors, and asset classes. From ESG reporting to infrastructure planning, it supports national consistency in stress testing, insurance risk profiling, and regulatory oversight

Icon
Emergency Readiness

Preparing Data for Forecasting and Planning: CARIx datasets are structured for use in risk models, scenario planning, and forecasting systems—supporting everything from wildfire response simulations to health crisis planning. This gives Canadian institutions a way to test decisions before they are implemented

Icon
Audit Integrity

Keeping Risk Information Transparent and Trustworthy Every data point processed through CARIx maintains a full history of where it came from and how it was prepared. This ensures transparency for regulators, auditors, insurers, and public reporting, while building long-term trust in Canada’s risk data infrastructure

Integrated Risk Intelligence

Connecting Disparate Data into One National View

CARIx merges multi-source datasets—from satellites, IoT devices, financial disclosures, health systems, and environmental models—into a unified, structured, and nationally consistent risk intelligence layer. This allows stakeholders to break down silos and build a shared understanding of cross-sector and cascading risks. Whether assessing wildfire exposure, climate-related asset fragility, or supply chain vulnerabilities, CARIx provides the integrated context needed for coordinated response and foresight

Simulation-Ready Foresight

Turning Data Into Testable Scenarios

All CARIx datasets are optimized for forecasting, modeling, and stress testing using digital twins, climate scenarios, and policy walkthroughs. Stakeholders across infrastructure, insurance, and public health can simulate future conditions with clause-certified inputs and verified assumptions. This enables evidence-based decision-making before deployment, ensuring that large-scale policies and investments are resilient under multiple futures

Verified Data Automation

Automating Insights with Provenance and Trust

CARIx enables real-time and batch data ingestion pipelines that automatically standardize, classify, and certify risk data using clause-governed logic and zero-trust protocols. This reduces manual data wrangling, minimizes errors, and provides machine-verifiable intelligence ready for audit, reporting, and machine-to-machine operations. From regulatory filings to automated underwriting, stakeholders gain trusted automation at scale

Cross-Sector Accountability

Ensuring Transparent, Auditable, and Shared Risk Metrics

With its full-chain data lineage, clause-level documentation, and compliance-ready outputs, CARIx provides stakeholders with clear, traceable metrics that can be shared across regulatory, operational, and public-facing systems. Whether aligning climate disclosures with OSFI guidelines, informing provincial infrastructure plans, or responding to federal audit requirements, CARIx supports risk governance with built-in accountability—anchored in a national framework
