The problem

You can see the ratio you're measured on. You can't see the work that moves it.

Your operation runs across a dozen systems, on documents, under rules you have to evidence. You can see what it produces: cycle times, cost per claim, leakage. You can't see which steps absorb the effort, where handlers decide differently on similar files, or which change would move the number. So AI programmes start on a hunch. You pay first, and find out later.

How it works

How it works differently

  1. 01 · Discover

    A costed map of the work, built with the people who do it

    We map your claims and underwriting workflows with the handlers and underwriters who run them. Not from system logs, which miss the work happening in inboxes, spreadsheets and phone calls. Not from a process document that stopped being accurate years ago. What you get is a view of what the work costs you today, with opportunities ranked by what fixing each one is worth.

  2. 02 · Build

    See what AI can do for you, then you decide

    Opus shows you which parts of the workflow AI can take on, and which should stay with your team, drawing on a Large Work Model™ trained on millions of real business processes. You can automate the process as it stands, or improve the flow while you do it.

    Then you set the rules. What clears without a handler, what gets referred, and at what value. You approve or reject every step, so no system decides what gets paid out without your say-so.

  3. 03 · Run

    It runs the process you approved, every time

    Opus uses AI to design the workflow, not to improvise while it runs. Whoever picks up the file, the same approved steps get followed, and the exceptions you flagged still go to a person. Actions are versioned and logged, and delegated authority stays exactly where you set it. So you can show exactly how any claim was decided, years later.

    It keeps getting better after go-live

    Every run is tracked: cycle times, throughput, referral rates, where exceptions cluster. When the same step keeps failing, Opus flags it and suggests a change, rather than leaving your team to work around it for another quarter. And as your volumes, rules and exceptions shift, it shows you what has drifted, so the workflow keeps matching the work instead of slowly falling behind it.

FAQ

Straight answers.

Is our data secure and compliant?

Built for regulated policy and claims data, deployable in your own cloud, private cloud, or on-prem, with every action logged and auditable.

Does Opus replace our policy admin or claims systems?

No. Opus is an operating layer on top of your existing stack — policy admin, claims and the rest — designed to integrate, not replace.

Are we locked into one AI model?

No. Opus is model-agnostic — use any model, or several.

Will it disrupt live operations?

No. Start with one workflow, run it in parallel with a person in the loop, and scale once it's proven.

Who stays accountable for decisions?

You do. Opus routes exceptions to your handlers and underwriters and logs every step, so control and accountability stay in-house.

Do we keep control over coverage and claims decisions?

Yes. Opus drafts the recommendation and the rationale; a person signs off on every claim and underwriting decision that counts.
