What changes when it is insurance

Most AI bills are dominated by a handful of features calling a frontier model for work a much smaller one handles perfectly.

In insurance, claims decisions need an audit trail and a consistent basis across assessors. That single fact reshapes how llm cost optimisation 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.

Built by engineers who ship production systems, not by a practice that subcontracts the build. We hand over with runbooks, tests and a team that knows how it works, not a dependency.

LLM Cost Optimisation workloads in insurance

  • claims document intake and validation
  • underwriting file assembly
  • fraud triage
  • policy servicing requests
  • renewal outreach

What is included

  • Spend audit broken down by feature and by call
  • Model routing so each task uses the cheapest adequate model
  • Semantic caching for repeated and near-identical queries
  • Prompt compression that preserves meaning
  • Budget ceilings and anomaly alerts
  • Quality benchmarked before and after, so savings are not silent regressions

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.

How much can we realistically save?

Most unoptimised systems have 40 to 70% of avoidable spend, concentrated in a few features. The audit tells you the specific number for your workload before you commit to any work.

Will quality drop?

We benchmark before and after on your real tasks. Any change that measurably degrades output does not ship. That is the whole discipline.

How long does the audit take?

About a week for most systems, and it usually pays for itself in the first month after the changes land.
