Recalculating 68 line items takes longer than writing the letter that follows.

The insurer's settlement states a total, not the difference per line. Anyone who wants to know where deductions were made adds up the report values, adds up the settled values and then goes through the lines one by one. If the total is a few cents out at the end, the round starts again.

3rounds of calculationFirst calculation, check calculation, recalculation after the insurer's response.
1deduction with no line referenceAn item of 320 euros for proportional betterment cannot be assigned to any of the 68 lines and holds up the reconciliation.

Calculated to the cent, the 1,847 euro difference and the one item with no line reference appear in the same list, and checking effort falls by 65% before the legal assessment begins.

The 65% reduction in checking effort is this agent's headline figure. Line count, reduced items and the difference reflect a typical property damage case; they are not measured values.

Three steps through the process.

Whether a deduction is justified remains the lawyer's call; the agent supplies the difference per line and the total.

Check line items in pairs

The agent compares every report value with the settled amount and works out the difference for each line. The calculation is plain arithmetic and can be traced in both directions.

Sort differences by size

The agent sorts the lines with differences by amount and shows the total. Small amounts do not get lost.

Largest single difference 1,240 euros, smallest 8.40 euros, total 1,847 euros

File the list of differences in the case file

The agent files the list with line number, amount and reference in the case file. It forms the basis for the legal assessment that follows.

What the agent does not do.

It does not judge whether a deduction was justified.

It shows line, amount and reference. The lawyer carries out the legal assessment.

It does not negotiate with the insurer.

It provides the list of differences. Contact with the claims department stays with the case handler.

It cannot assign a flat deduction with no line reference to any item.

The item “proportional betterment, 320 euros” appears in the list of differences with no reference to any of the 68 lines. The case handler decides how it is spread across the items.

The questions that come up before the first meeting.

How quickly is the Line Item Reconciliation Agent ready to use?

A pilot typically runs on your own data within 4 to 6 weeks. The agent connects to your existing systems rather than running as a separate, parallel environment.

Where is the data processed?

EU cloud, private cloud or on-premises. Processing is GDPR-compliant and models are never trained on your data. Details in the Trust Center.

Where does the figure “65% less review effort” come from?

It is based on experience from comparable projects and process benchmarks, not a commitment. We work out the realistic effect for your organisation during the assessment before the pilot.
