If you live above 7,000 feet, you already know.

"State Farm just dropped me after 17 years. House is in Evergreen, zero claims." — r/Denver, posted last week
"Premium went from $2,400 to $5,800. No claims history. They couldn't explain why." — r/ColoradoSprings
"We applied to the FAIR Plan. Three months in, still no answer." — Nextdoor, Conifer

The insurance industry built risk-scoring models that flag your home as a liability. But the same data — properly documented — proves the opposite. That's the gap we close.

For comparison: a Colorado wildfire mitigation consultant charges $800–$2,000 for a one-time on-site visit. Backburn does not replace a licensed inspection — it delivers the documentation insurers expect to see alongside one.

Questions Colorado homeowners actually ask

Will this guarantee my insurer keeps me?

No — and any product that promises that is lying. What Backburn does: produces the same documentation IBHS Wildfire Prepared inspectors produce, but homeowner-prepared. Insurers explicitly reward documented mitigation with discounts (5–25% per IBHS data). The dossier gives you the strongest possible case to make.

What if I'm already getting dropped?

The Pro dossier includes a Colorado FAIR Plan application packet pre-filled with your mitigation data. The FAIR Plan is the state's insurer-of-last-resort, created by HB23-1295. Documentation is the #1 cause of delayed FAIR Plan approval — Backburn solves that.

Is this just an AI tool? Can I trust it?

Yes, it's AI — and yes, you can trust it for what it is: structured documentation aligned with NFPA 1144 and the IBHS Wildfire Prepared Home standard. It is not a substitute for a licensed on-site inspection. Many homeowners use Backburn first, then hire an inspector to validate. The dossier itself is the durable artifact.

I haven't done any defensible space work. Is this still useful?

Especially useful. The mitigation plan in your dossier becomes your roadmap — what to do, in what order, with cost estimates. You can phase the work and document each step. Insurers and the FAIR Plan accept incremental progress dossiers.

What data sources do you use?

Colorado State Forest Service WUI maps, NFPA 1144 fuel models, IBHS Wildfire Prepared Home criteria (2024 update), HB23-1295 FAIR Plan eligibility rules, and Colorado Department of Insurance public premium filings.

What if I'm not in Colorado?

Today, Backburn is Colorado-only — that's where the FAIR Plan, the regulatory framework, and the immediate crisis are. We're expanding to California, Oregon, Arizona, and Washington in 2026.
