Actuarial Pricing Model Builder
Build validated insurance pricing models with actuarial rigor and compliance
What You Can Do
Structure and validate insurance pricing models using actuarial best practices and regulatory standards. Claude helps you systematically document risk factors, perform sensitivity analysis, and generate compliance-ready documentation. You'll reduce model validation time, ensure regulatory alignment, and create defensible pricing rationale with complete audit trails.
Features
Pre-structured frameworks for life, health, property & casualty, and specialty insurance lines that enforce actuarial rigor from the start
Systematic validation of pricing assumptions against industry benchmarks, regulatory guidance, and historical data requirements
Structured documentation of all pricing variables with impact coefficients, ranges, correlation matrices, and justification narratives
Automated scenario analysis showing price elasticity, break-even points, and model behavior under adverse conditions
Built-in validation against SOX, Solvency II, NAIC Actuarial Standards of Practice, and state/provincial requirements
Automated generation of model governance records including versioning, assumptions, sign-offs, and change justifications
Real-time range checking, constraint validation, and logic verification across all model inputs and outputs
Structured outputs compatible with actuarial software, spreadsheets, and implementation teams with complete documentation
Example Output
Example 1: Life Insurance Pricing Model Structure
PRODUCT: Term Life Insurance, 20-Year Level
RISK FACTORS:
• Mortality (Primary): Industry standard with ±15% volatility range
- Age: Gompertz curve, calibrated to SOA data
- Smoking: 1.5x multiplier for smokers
- Health: Underwriting classes A-E with progressive loadings
- Occupational: Hazmat +20% to Office -10%
FLOWS:
• Expenses: 3% of premium year 1, 0.8% renewal
• Lapse: Declining curve starting 8% yr1 to 2% yr10+
• Cost of Capital (13% ROE target): 5% loading
SENSITIVITY: ±10% mortality assumption changes price ±$12-$18/month
Example 2: Compliance Validation Report
✓ NAIC Model Governance: All assumptions documented with sources
✓ SOX Internal Controls: Three-way reconciliation documented
✓ Assumption Reasonableness: Mortality within ±20% of industry reference
⚠ GAP: Lapse assumptions not updated for 18 months — recommend experience study
Example 3: Sensitivity Analysis Dashboard
Impact on 10-Year NPV at 1% Base Assumption Change:
Mortality: -$2.4M to +$2.4M [Most Sensitive]
Expense Inflation: -$0.8M to +$0.8M
Lapse Rate: -$1.2M to +$1.2M
Discount Rate: -$3.1M to +$3.1M [MOST SENSITIVE]
Stress Test (Adverse Scenario): NPV drops to -$4.2M
→ Recommendation: Adjust pricing or underwriting parameters

This skill systematically evaluates your portfolio's exposure to catastrophic events through concentrated risk analysis, multi-scenario stress testing, and data-driven positioning metrics. It produces executive summaries that quantify tail-risk exposure and recommend portfolio rebalancing actions based on statistical rigor. You can identify hidden correlations, model extreme market events, and communicate catastrophe risk exposure to stakeholders with clarity and precision.
You analyze diverse climate datasets, quantify emerging climate risks, and generate underwriting-ready catastrophe model parameters. This skill converts complex climate science into actionable inputs for risk assessment, enabling you to stress-test portfolios against climate scenarios and refine model calibration with empirical climate trends.
You can systematically evaluate whether your insurance reserves are sufficient to cover incurred but not reported (IBNR) claims and identify reserve deficiencies. This skill analyzes claims development patterns, projects future claim emergence, and applies actuarial methods to assess reserve adequacy across product lines and underwriting years.
You can build production-ready ML pipelines that start with data validation and progress through model training, evaluation, and deployment. Cortex detects your ML stack, defines success metrics upfront, builds baseline models before optimization, and generates serving-ready artifacts—eliminating manual workflow steps and reducing time from data to deployed model.
This skill automates the validation of catastrophe models by analyzing your data inputs, reviewing model assumptions against industry standards, identifying gaps and risks, and generating comprehensive validation reports ready for stakeholder review. You get systematic documentation of model strengths, weaknesses, and recommendation priorities—accelerating your pre-deployment sign-off, regulatory audits, and annual recalibration cycles.
