What We Solved
Claims validation, fraud detection, and adjuster workflow
ENGAGEMENT
Custom build
Manual evaluation of property damage claims was producing delays, inconsistencies, and rising fraud, and the pressure was worst during exactly the events where speed matters most: high-volume storms and floods.
Claims adjusters relied heavily on subjective photo assessments, often with no way to verify that submitted images were authentic. The result was longer claim cycle times, leakage, and customers who noticed the difference.
An AI-driven solution that analyzes pre and post FNOL property images using advanced computer vision models to detect structural changes, classify damage types such as fire, water, and impact, and assess severity levels.
That visual analysis is enriched with contextual data including geolocation, timestamps, FNOL reports, policy details, claimant history, and real-time weather feeds, all used to verify the authenticity of each claim. The system assigns a confidence score to every submission, flags anomalies or potential fraud, and produces annotated reports that support adjusters in making decisions rather than replacing their judgment.
Additional layers, including image tampering detection and NLP-driven validation of customer narratives, maintain accuracy and transparency. The solution complies with industry data privacy standards and incorporates explainable AI to support fair, accountable claim resolutions.

Claims is where a policyholder finds out what their insurer is actually like, and it is also where cycle time, leakage, and adjuster capacity all collide. Automation earns its place when it gives adjusters better information rather than removing them from the decision.
