Available Now

Production-ready. Commercial solutions exist and organizations are actively deploying.

Trajectories describe the observable direction of human effort — not a prediction about specific roles, headcount, or individual careers.

What You Do Today

You report ceded losses to reinsurers per treaty terms: bordereaux, individual large loss notifications, and quarterly/annual summary statements.

How It Works

Automated bordereaux generation pulls data from systems and maps it to treaty terms. Anomaly detection catches data quality issues before submission. NLP reads treaty contracts to extract reporting terms and thresholds.

What Changes

Bordereaux production shifts from multi-day manual exercises to automated processes. Reporting errors drop. Individual large loss notifications happen in real-time.

What Stays the Same

Treaty accounting reconciliation still requires human oversight. Complex treaty terms still need human interpretation. Reinsurer relationship management remains human.

This section won't tell you what your numbers should be. It will show you how to find them yourself. Every instruction below produces a real, verifiable result in your organization. No benchmarks, no projections — just the steps to build your own evidence.

Establish Your Baseline

Know where you are before you move

Before adopting AI tools for ceded loss reporting & bordereaux management, document your current state in reinsurance.

•

Map your current process: Document how ceded loss reporting & bordereaux management works today — who does what, how long each step takes, and where the bottlenecks are. Use your underwriting workstation data to establish a factual baseline.

•

Identify the judgment calls: Treaty accounting reconciliation still requires human oversight. Complex treaty terms still need human interpretation. Reinsurer relationship management remains human. — these are the boundaries AI won't cross. Know them before you start.

•

Check your data readiness: AI tools for reinsurance need clean, accessible data. Check whether your underwriting workstation has the historical data, integrations, and quality to support Automated Bordereaux Generation tools.

Without a baseline, you can't tell whether AI actually improved ceded loss reporting & bordereaux management or just changed who does it.

Define Your Measures

What to track and how to calculate it

submission-to-bind ratio

How to calculate

Measure submission-to-bind ratio for ceded loss reporting & bordereaux management before and after AI adoption. Pull from your underwriting workstation.

Why it matters

This is the most direct indicator of whether AI is adding value to reinsurance.

quote turnaround time

How to calculate

Track quote turnaround time using the same methodology you use today. Don't change how you measure just because you changed how you work.

Why it matters

Speed without quality is just faster mistakes. Measure both together.

When to check: Check after 30 days of consistent use, then quarterly.

The commitment: Give new tools at least 30 days before judging. The first week is always awkward.

What NOT to measure: Don't measure AI adoption rate as a goal. Measure outcomes. If the tool helps with ceded loss reporting & bordereaux management, people will use it.

Start These Conversations

Who to talk to and what to ask

VP Underwriting or Chief Underwriting Officer

“What's our plan for AI in reinsurance? Are we piloting, planning, or waiting?”

This tells you whether to experiment quietly or push for formal investment in ceded loss reporting & bordereaux management.

your underwriting workstation administrator or vendor

“What AI capabilities exist in our current underwriting workstation that we're not using? Most platforms are adding AI features faster than teams adopt them.”

The cheapest AI adoption is the features already included in your existing license.

a practitioner in reinsurance at another organization

“Have you deployed AI for ceded loss reporting & bordereaux management? What worked, what didn't, and what would you do differently?”

Peer experience is more useful than vendor demos. Find someone who has actually done this.
