Run an Accumulations Analysis

⬅ Knowledge Base Home

Start by choosing the dataset you want to analyze, then select how accumulations should be calculated—ring, grid, or target-based. Pick the metric you want to measure and set an optional minimum threshold to control which results are returned. When you run the analysis, SpatialKey automatically finds and ranks your highest exposure areas so you can quickly focus on where risk is concentrated.

Run a Ring, Grid or Target Accumulation Analysis

With SpatialKey, you can identify peak exposure accumulations within overlapping rings, uniform grid sizes, or use a target dataset to identify areas of accumulation within a specific radius of those points.

1. Select the dataset you want to analyze.

The Select Dataset screen shows a searchable table of available datasets, including “Sample Dataset” and “Insurity Data Sample,” with columns for creation date, sharing status, access count, record count, and policy file indicator. The step progress bar at the top highlights Select Dataset as the current step before configuration, metric selection, and running the analysis.

2. Select the configuration you want to use.

  • Create a configuration if you don’t have one setup or want to create a new one. Select from available models for your organization. Each model has its own configuration options.

The Select Configuration screen displays a table of available accumulation configurations, including 200m Grid and 100m Ring, with columns showing the model type and damage percentage. The step indicator at the top highlights Select Configuration as the current step, with options to search configurations or create a new configuration.

The dialog shows fields to configure ring size in meters, damage ratio percentage, and a configuration name, along with a link to preview the model. Save and Save and Select buttons appear at the bottom, indicating this step defines parameters for an accumulation analysis.

3. Select a metric and minimum threshold to use in the analysis. The minimum threshold can be left at 0 to have all accumulation results returned.

The Select Metric screen shows a dropdown menu for choosing an accumulation metric and a Minimum Threshold input field set to zero. The progress indicator highlights Select Metric as the current step, with a disabled Next button until a metric is selected.

Models

You may have one or more of the following models enabled for your organization.

Ring

The ring model places overlapping (25%) rings over your locations, removes duplicates, and returns a list of your top accumulations. The ring radius size & damage ratio can be customized. Watch this animation to see how the ring model overlaps, identifies concentrations, and de-duplicates rings.

The dialog includes form fields to define ring size in meters, damage ratio percentage, and a configuration name, along with a Model preview link. Action buttons labeled Save and Save and Select appear at the bottom, indicating how the configuration can be stored and applied to the analysis.

Grid

The grid model places overlapping (50%) grids over your locations, removes duplicates, and returns a list of your top accumulations. The grid size & damage ratio can be customized. Watch this animation to see how the ring model overlaps, identifies concentrations, and de-duplicates rings.

The dialog shows form fields to define grid size in meters, damage ratio percentage, and a configuration name, along with a Model preview link. Save and Save and Select buttons appear at the bottom, indicating how the grid configuration can be stored and applied to an accumulation analysis.

Target (including concentric rings)

The target model places rings centered around a reference dataset of your choice (e.g., terror targets, sinkholes), calculates the total locations within a specified radius, and returns a ranked list of accumulations. The number of rings, ring size & damage ratio can be customized.

Image of the SpatialKey Create Configuration modal for Accumulations with Accumulation Type set to Target. The dialog includes an option to select a target dataset, followed by a Ring Setup section where multiple concentric rings are defined using radius values in meters and associated damage percentages. Fields are provided to add or remove rings and to enter a configuration name. Save and Save and Select buttons appear at the bottom, indicating how the target‑based configuration can be saved and applied to the analysis.
