Spend Control for Insurtech Agents
Claims agents, underwriting bots, and fraud models each buy data and compute per policy. At insurtech volume, per-check costs compound fast.
Where insurtech agents spend
Claims agents pulling data sources and document processing per claim.
Underwriting agents running inference per application.
Fraud models querying external databases per transaction.
The failure modes
A claims workflow retrying overnight multiplies per-claim charges.
New data vendors bypass procurement — allowlist them.
Volume spikes (catastrophe events) hit overage tiers.
Which rules to start with
Per-claim or per-agent daily ceiling.
Merchant allowlist for approved data vendors.
Category rule: claims data vs underwriting inference.

FAQ
Can I budget per product line?
Yes — per-agent rules let each product line (auto, life, health) run its own budget.
What about event-driven spikes?
Set ceilings where they should be and route the rest through FLAGGED approval instead of overage.
