AutoActuary: Autonomous Captive Insurance Feasibility Bureau

How the agent runs it

Inbound CFOs and risk managers submit a structured intake form describing their company's loss history, industry, and premium spend. The orchestrator agent routes the data across specialist agents who independently research domicile regulations, model loss triangles, benchmark industry loss ratios, draft the feasibility narrative, and assemble a professional PDF deliverable — all within 5–7 business days. Completed studies are automatically delivered via DocuSign-wrapped PDFs with an embedded implementation referral offer, and the billing agent triggers the final milestone invoice through Stripe.

Who this is for

The ideal owner has a background in commercial insurance brokerage, risk management consulting, or CPA/CFO advisory work — someone who already speaks the language of captives but wants to productize their expertise at scale. They do not need to be an actuary themselves; they need to understand the sales motion and maintain one actuarial sign-off relationship. This suits a solo operator or small advisory firm looking to generate high-margin deliverable revenue without adding headcount.

Market opportunity

The U.S. captive insurance market exceeded $70 billion in written premiums in 2023, with mid-market companies (revenues of $20M–$500M) increasingly exploring captives as commercial premiums surge post-pandemic. IRS scrutiny of abusive micro-captives has actually increased demand for credible, well-documented feasibility studies from legitimate operators. The complexity of domicile selection — across 40+ U.S. states and offshore jurisdictions — creates a persistent information asymmetry that a well-trained agent team is uniquely positioned to resolve cheaply and quickly.

Boss agent: ARIA (Actuarial Research & Intake Arbiter)

ARIA receives each new intake, scores it for completeness and feasibility fit, assigns sub-tasks to specialist agents with deadlines and context packets, monitors for stalled outputs, and enforces quality gates before the final report is released to the delivery agent.

• ■ No feasibility report is released without a QA agent confidence score above 87% on all three core sections: domicile fit, loss model coherence, and regulatory compliance narrative.
• ■ Any loss run with fewer than 3 years of data triggers an automatic client data-request workflow before modeling begins — no extrapolation from insufficient history.
• ■ All domicile recommendations must cite at least two primary statutory sources retrieved from Pinecone, not inferred from general knowledge.

Human touchpoints

// the only things that still need you

• 👤 Actuarial co-signature: A contracted FCAS/ACAS actuary must review and co-sign the loss triangle section of each report before VERA releases it — required for professional defensibility and client trust.
• 👤 New client engagement letter execution: The human owner countersigns the engagement letter for each new client, establishing the legal services relationship and scope of work.
• 👤 Large-scope or litigation-adjacent engagements: Any client whose intake flags an active IRS challenge, ongoing litigation, or captive structure already under audit is escalated to the human owner to assess and decide whether to accept or decline the engagement.
• 👤 Banking and revenue disbursements: Monthly Stripe payouts above $15,000 and any ACH transfers to the actuarial contractor require the human owner's explicit authorization.

Tech stack

Monetization

Clients pay a flat $6,500–$14,000 per feasibility study depending on company revenue size and complexity, billed 50% upfront and 50% on delivery. A $1,200/mo monitoring retainer is offered post-study to track emerging domicile regulation changes and annual re-benchmarking.

Key risks

• → Actuarial licensing laws in some states may require a credentialed actuary to sign off on loss projections, creating a mandatory human review bottleneck that could compress margins.
• → Loss history data submitted by clients is often incomplete or inconsistently formatted, which can degrade model accuracy and require exception-handling workflows that slow the pipeline.

Getting started

1. 1
   Acquire and chunk actuarial and domicile regulatory data

   Download publicly available captive domicile statutes, NAIC model laws, and industry loss ratio tables by NAICS code. Chunk and embed these into Pinecone so retrieval agents have a grounded regulatory knowledge base from day one.
2. 2
   Build and test the client intake pipeline

   Create a Typeform intake collecting 5-year loss runs, current premium spend by line, entity structure, and domicile preferences. Connect it to Zapier to trigger the orchestrator agent and log the engagement in your CRM automatically.
3. 3
   Define agent roles and Claude Managed Agent sub-tasks

   Configure the five specialist agents in Claude Managed Agents with distinct system prompts and tool access — domicile researcher, loss modeler, benchmark analyst, narrative drafter, and QA reviewer — so each has bounded scope and clear output schemas.
4. 4
   Establish an actuarial sign-off relationship

   Contract with a credentialed FCAS or ACAS actuary on a per-study review basis ($300–$600/study) who will review the loss triangle outputs and co-sign the report — this satisfies regulatory defensibility and increases client trust without creating a full-time hire.
5. 5
   Close two pilot clients at a discounted rate

   Reach out to your existing network of CFOs, CPAs, or commercial brokers to land two paid pilot studies at $3,500 each — these real-world studies will stress-test your agent pipeline, surface data edge cases, and produce testimonials for your sales page.
