Claims, underwriting and policy documents at volume.

AI for Insurance

Insurance runs on documents and risk models. Both are areas where AI pays back quickly — provided the audit trail holds up.

What makes this sector different

Claims volume is spiky

Capacity sized for the mean collapses after a weather event.

Unstructured evidence

Photographs, PDFs, handwritten forms and call transcripts all carry claim-relevant facts.

Decisions must be defensible

A declined claim will be challenged, and the reasoning has to survive that.

Where it pays back

Claims triage and document extraction

Hybrid

Classify and extract from claim evidence, routing edge cases to humans.

Underwriting submission review

Retrieval-augmented generation

Summarise submissions and surface missing information before an underwriter opens the file.

Fraud signal detection

Classical ML

Score claims against historical patterns with attributable features.

Policy question answering

Retrieval-augmented generation

Answer coverage questions from the wording itself, with the clause cited.

How the Insurance assessment differs

Insurance assessments focus on document variety and the audit trail a disputed decision will need.

Questions this template pushes on

  • What proportion of claim evidence is scanned or handwritten?
  • Which decisions can be automated, and which must stay with a human?
  • How long must the reasoning behind a decision be retained?

These are suggestions surfaced alongside the questions — never pre-filled answers. The assessment still asks you everything, because a score built on assumptions you never confirmed is not a score you could act on.
