The regulatory constraint
Retraining approvals, versioning and benchmark evidence are retained in a form accepted during state examination.
How we work in this industrySituation
Six months after launch, a claims-intake agent's escalation rate had risen from 22% to 36%. Accuracy had degraded quietly as policy language and endorsements changed underneath the knowledge base.
Two adjuster teams had begun routing around the coverage-summary feature entirely. No client-specific benchmark existed, and nobody was named as the approver for a retrain.
Approach
A client-specific benchmark of 340 verified domain questions, run weekly against the live system with alerting on regression.
A feedback loop wired from adjuster corrections into a reinforcement pipeline rather than a spreadsheet, with drift detection on escalation rates.
Retraining and versioning governance with a named approver in Claims Operations, documented rollback, and a full audit trail for state examiners.
What we built
- Scheduled benchmark evaluation with regression alerting into the existing on-call rotation.
- Human-in-the-loop validation checkpoints on coverage determinations above a set threshold.
- Knowledge base taxonomy and content governance keeping retrieval aligned to current policy forms.
“Drift never announced itself — the system sounded exactly as sure as it did on launch day. The benchmark was the only thing that told us.”
