What You Do Today

Build the claims team — hiring entry-level adjusters and experienced professionals, providing ongoing training, and developing future claims leaders.

AI That Applies

AI training simulators that give new adjusters practice investigating, evaluating, and negotiating claims with realistic scenarios and automated feedback.

Technologies

How It Works

The system ingests candidate data — resumes, assessments, interview feedback, and historical hiring outcomes. The simulation engine runs thousands of scenarios by varying each uncertain input across its probability range, building a distribution of outcomes that quantifies the risk. The results integrate into the practitioner's existing workflow — presenting recommendations, flags, or automated outputs alongside their normal working context.

What Changes

New adjuster development accelerates. AI simulators provide the practice reps that traditional training lacks.

What Stays

Mentoring adjusters through their first difficult claim, teaching them to balance empathy with objectivity, and building their confidence on complex losses.

What To Do Next

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.

1

Establish Your Baseline

Know where you are before you move

Before adopting AI tools for recruit, train, and develop claims adjusters, understand your current state.

Map your current process: Document how recruit, train, and develop claims adjusters works today — who does what, how long it takes, where the bottlenecks are. You need this baseline to measure improvement.
Identify the judgment points: Mentoring adjusters through their first difficult claim, teaching them to balance empathy with objectivity, and building their confidence on complex losses. These are the boundaries AI won't cross.
Assess your data readiness: AI tools for this area need data to work. Check whether your organization has the historical data, integrations, and data quality to support training platforms tools.

Without a baseline, you can't measure whether AI actually improved anything. You'll adopt tools without knowing if they're working.

Define Your Measures

What to track and how to calculate it

Time per cycle

How to calculate

Measure how long recruit, train, and develop claims adjusters takes end-to-end today, then after AI adoption.

Why it matters

The most visible improvement is speed. If AI doesn't save time, question whether it's adding value.

Quality of output

How to calculate

Track error rates, rework frequency, or stakeholder satisfaction scores before and after.

Why it matters

Speed without quality is just faster mistakes. Measure both.

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 KPI. Adoption follows value — if the tool helps, people use it.
