Solution Overview

Problem

Current insurance policy issuance methods often rely on a one-size-fits-all approach, leading to inaccurate risk evaluations and higher premiums due to inaccuracies in policy information, resulting in additional costs for both insurers and policyholders.

Innovation Solution

A computer-implemented system that evaluates application data by receiving and validating it against secondary data sources, using predictive analytics to determine a confidence level for issuing insurance policies, ensuring that policies are only issued if the aggregate confidence level meets a predetermined threshold.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If a one-size-fits-all approach is used for insurance policy evaluation, then the evaluation process is simplified and faster, but the accuracy of risk evaluation decreases and premiums become higher

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveevaluation process speedVSAvoidrisk evaluation accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the insurance evaluation process into multiple components: collecting application data, obtaining secondary data from external sources, evaluating data quality, determining confidence levels, and making underwriting decisions. This segmentation allows the system to process evaluations efficiently while maintaining high accuracy through multiple specialized evaluation stages.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically changes evaluation parameters by adjusting confidence level thresholds and data quality requirements based on the specific application and risk type. This allows the evaluation process to be adapted to different scenarios, maintaining both efficiency and accuracy by not applying a rigid one-size-fits-all approach.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Device complexity

If traditional data validation methods are used, then the system is simpler to implement, but inaccuracies in policy information result in additional costs

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem implementation complexityVSAvoidpolicy information accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces secondary data sources as intermediaries that provide independent verification of application data. These external sources (credit bureaus, motor vehicle departments, etc.) act as mediators to validate the accuracy of policy information without requiring the insurer to build complex verification systems from scratch.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements feedback mechanisms where evaluation results and confidence levels are fed back into the underwriting process. This allows continuous improvement of data quality and accuracy by identifying and correcting inaccuracies in application data through systematic feedback loops.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Measurement precision

If comprehensive data validation and predictive analytics are applied, then the accuracy of risk representation is improved, but the complexity and computational requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverisk representation accuracyVSAvoidsystem computational complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by collecting and validating data before the actual underwriting decision is made. Secondary data is obtained and evaluated in advance, allowing the final risk assessment to be based on pre-validated information, which reduces computational complexity during the decision-making process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The evaluation system performs self-service by automatically collecting, validating, and analyzing data without requiring extensive manual intervention. The system autonomously determines confidence levels and makes underwriting recommendations, reducing the need for complex manual analysis while maintaining high accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
