Claims sat in queues, not in review

Nordwind processes 3,000 claims a month. Each one crossed five systems before an adjuster saw it: the intake portal, a document store, the policy system, a spreadsheet of exceptions and an email thread. Adjusters spent most of their day assembling context, not making decisions.

The backlog grew 18% year over year. Hiring more adjusters was the standing plan — and the reason Nordwind came to us instead.

A claims copilot inside the adjusters' own tool

We built a claims workbench: one screen that pulls the claim, the policy, the documents and the history together, with an LLM layer that reads the file first — extracting the loss details, checking coverage against the policy and drafting a recommendation with citations back to the source documents.

Adjusters stay in charge: every recommendation shows its evidence, and one click accepts, edits or rejects it. The design work — ten years of interface craft — is why adoption hit 95% in week one, not month three.

A day of assembly became a minute of review

Measured over the first 90 days in production against the quarter before, from Nordwind's claims system — their numbers, not ours.

In their words

The recommendations show their sources, so adjusters trust them. The adoption fight we budgeted for never happened — by week two nobody wanted the old five screens back.

What we would do next

Subrogation is the next queue with the same shape: scattered context, repeatable judgement. The agent layer and workbench extend to it directly. Scoped at $40K to $60K, 8 weeks.

Nothing here is committed. It is the honest answer to the question the client asked at handover, and the estimate we gave for it.
