What changes when it is insurance
Most teams who ask for fine-tuning need better prompting and retrieval instead. We check that first, and say so when it is true. It saves you a quarter and a budget line.
In insurance, claims decisions need an audit trail and a consistent basis across assessors. That single fact reshapes how custom model fine-tuning has to be built here, the guardrails, the approval points and the evidence trail are design inputs rather than things bolted on before go-live.
The workload we are most often asked to take on first is policy servicing requests, usually integrated against CRM. We start from the constraint, not the capability, what the system must never do, who signs off, and what happens when it is wrong.
Deployed across regulated and unregulated sectors, with audit trails where the regulator expects them. Six weeks to something running in production, not six quarters to a strategy document.

Questions from this sector
Can AI decide claims?
It can decide straightforward low-value claims within defined rules, and should assemble and recommend on everything else with a human deciding. The split is a policy decision you set, not one we make.
How much can claims cycle time improve?
Document intake and validation are usually the bottleneck, and automating them typically removes days. We baseline your current cycle before promising a figure.
Should we fine-tune?
Usually not first. Prompting and retrieval solve most problems more cheaply. Fine-tuning wins for consistent format, narrow domain style, and high-volume tasks where a smaller model can replace a larger one.
How much data do we need?
For LoRA on a narrow task, often a few thousand high-quality examples. Quality matters far more than volume. We review the dataset before training anything.
Can we own the model?
With open-weight base models, yes. You hold the weights and can run them on your own infrastructure indefinitely.
