Reserve Leakage Study

A case-by-case and cohort look at opening reserves, development, and late deterioration on a named product or region.

Five to seven weeks · Quoted after a file-count and extract review

Financial worksheets and a pen beside a cup of coffee

Who it is for

Reserving actuaries and claims finance who need narrative beside the triangles.

What you leave with

A study that ties reserve movement to invoice types, solicitor capture, and handler practice — so the next triangle is not a surprise without a sentence attached.

Included

  • Cohort charts of opening versus developed cost
  • A file sample (agreed count) read with claims finance
  • A note on fields missing from the extract that block a cleaner read
  • A briefing for reserving and claims together

Not included

  • Statutory reporting sign-off
  • Replacing your appointed actuary
  • Capital model work

How the work proceeds

  1. File-count and extract review, then a fixed fee
  2. Sample selection with you, not a random dump of closed files only
  3. Joint reading sessions
  4. Written study and briefing

Where we work

Dail Mor plus scheduled reading days at your office.

What we need from you

Provide reserve history, payment transactions, and a handler identifier. Agree who can speak to unusual files.

Limits

We will not change reserves. We will say when a file was set with hope rather than evidence.

Fees

Quoted after we see file counts. Smaller regional books often sit between £9,000 and £16,000.
