The executive’s guide to delivering 1-hour claims

Allianz Partners reached production on autonomous claims operations in 2.5 months. CED now processes 600,000 emails instantly. A Fortune 500 insurer runs autonomous claims across five countries and five lines of business. None of them got there by making the old process faster. They replaced the operating model entirely.

This whitepaper breaks down the operating model behind 1-hour claims, the three levers that drive it, and the four insurers already running it in production.

Inside, you will see the specific framework these insurers used to move from manual, human-at-every-step claims operations to autonomous execution. You will also get the step-by-step claims process map showing exactly where autonomous agents act and where humans still need to, and what separates the 5% of AI projects that reach production from the 95% that don’t.

What’s Inside The Executive’s Guide to Delivering 1-Hour Claims

The Five Barriers Standing Between You and 1-Hour Claims

Talent shortages, regulatory pressure, financial volatility, fragmented systems, and processes that still require humans at every step. This section maps the constraints holding claims operations back and explains why 95% of AI projects never make it to production.

The Three-Lever Framework Behind Autonomous Claims

The insurers in this guide didn’t just deploy new technology. They applied a specific framework that changes how claims operations generate profit. This section breaks down each lever with production evidence, so you can evaluate what the same model would mean for your operation.
