Claims fraud detection

Flagging suspicious claims for review by the Special Investigations Unit (SIU). In US P&C, fraud leakage is estimated at 10% of total claim payouts, a headline number that has driven procurement of detection tools for three decades.

The three rungs

Legacy

SIU analysts work from rules-of-thumb and historical red flags. Claims-admin systems add rule-based scoring in the early 2000s: repeated claimant names, high-severity events on low-value policies, claims filed within days of policy inception.

Modern

Cloud SaaS and classical ML; tools founded roughly 1995 – 2015.

AI-native

Built around deep learning or LLMs from day one; tools founded mostly post-2015.

The legacy-to-AI-native transition on this action is unusually clean, because no dominant modern pure-SaaS entrant emerged. Shift Technology, founded in Paris in 2014, moved the category to AI-native with graph analytics and anomaly detection over the full claim graph, and extended into subrogation and financial-crime detection in 2025. Shift reports 100+ customers across 25 countries; Liberty Mutual and CNA Financial are the named US carriers on public record.
