Specialty claims, without the manual translation.
A reference analysis for Palomar Specialty Insurance, a specialty property and casualty carrier with catastrophe-exposed lines. The same document-heavy friction we see across P&C, mapped to Brend's claims and underwriting workflows.
Catastrophe lines make the handoff problem worse.
For a specialty carrier, claims spike exactly when conditions are hardest, after an earthquake, a storm, a catastrophe event. That is when manual FNOL intake, document chasing, and re-keying inflate loss adjustment expense and slow settlement for policyholders who need it most.
Brend captures the property in the field, understands severity and scope, and files the work inside the existing claims and underwriting stack, the same screen-walking approach proven across P&C, with no integration to build.
Reference analysis drawing on Palomar's public investor disclosures and published AI-in-insurance research (KPMG, PwC). Palomar is used to illustrate the specialty P&C opportunity; the metrics shown are industry benchmarks, not a representation of contracted value.
Where Brend takes the load.
underwriting
Specialty claims & FNOL intake
Captures the loss in the field, organizes photos and scope, verifies against policy terms, routes standard claims for fast settlement, and escalates the complex ones, so adjusters only touch exception-ready files.
Fronting & bordereaux reconciliation
Reconciles exposure and premium data across source systems and assembles recurring bordereaux reports, replacing a slow, error-prone manual cycle and reducing compliance friction.
Underwriting submissions
Validates incoming submissions against appetite and guidelines and drafts initial responses, compressing submission-to-quote turnaround on catastrophe-exposed lines.
