Conduct field surveillance
What You Do Today
You stake out claimants, photograph activity inconsistent with claimed injuries, and document findings for potential denial or prosecution referral.
AI That Applies
AI-assisted video analysis can timestamp and tag activity in surveillance footage, and geolocation tools help plan optimal surveillance positions.
Technologies
How It Works
For conduct field surveillance, the system draws on the relevant operational data and applies the appropriate analytical models. Computer vision models analyze the visual input by detecting objects, measuring spatial relationships, and comparing against trained reference patterns to identify matches or anomalies. The results integrate into the practitioner's existing workflow — presenting recommendations, flags, or automated outputs alongside their normal working context.
What Changes
Reviewing hours of surveillance footage gets faster when AI can flag movement and activity automatically.
What Stays
Being in the field, making real-time decisions about when to follow and when to pull back — that's still you.
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.
Establish Your Baseline
Know where you are before you move
Before adopting AI tools for conduct field surveillance, understand your current state.
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 conduct field surveillance 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.
