The challenge
An international specialty insurer was struggling with a manual claim reserving process that relied on spreadsheets. This approach was:
- Time-consuming, often taking weeks to complete. • Error-prone, especially at critical reporting deadlines.
- Resource-intensive, requiring a large team for each quarter.
Accurately estimating future liabilities, such as claims reported but not yet settled or known claims not yet reported, is a key regulatory obligation to maintain liquidity as well as an business opportunity.

- Data versioning and metadata logging for audit and regulatory compliance.
A suite of interactive web apps and Power BI dashboards for real-time reporting and model adjustments.
