Journal
Pages we wish had existed before the last committee
These pieces are about fields, dates, and rooms — not about becoming more efficient in the abstract. They come out of Claims Trend Reviews and fraud briefings we have already taken.

Storm cohorts look expensive because they are. The useful question is which trades, which postcodes, and which days after landfall the extra cost actually arrived.
Collision clusters: staged patterns versus a bad junction
The same roundabout can generate honest repeats. The briefing should say what would have to be true for fraud, and what the extract cannot prove.
