Surplus Allocation Automation for Insurance

Let your AI agent handle surplus earnings distribution, compliance review, and documentation for participating contracts—so you can focus on actuarial strategy.

As an actuary, you spend hours extracting contract terms from PDFs, crunching numbers in Excel, and emailing drafts for review. Each distribution cycle means manual calculations, regulatory cross-checks, and endless version control headaches.

An AI agent that automates surplus earnings allocation, compliance checks, and reporting for participating insurance and annuity contracts.

What this replaces

Extract surplus clauses from policy PDFs into Excel
Calculate earnings allocations manually in spreadsheets
Cross-check formulas against NAIC guidelines
Draft compliance reports for regulatory review in Word
Email allocation summaries to stakeholders for sign-off

The hidden cost

What this is really costing you

In insurance, actuaries must allocate surplus earnings across participating contracts—a process riddled with manual data pulls from policy management systems, spreadsheet calculations, and compliance reviews. Using Excel and Outlook to track formulas and communicate results wastes time and risks errors. Regulatory audits demand detailed documentation, and even small mistakes can trigger disputes or fines.
