Regulations
Business Context
Digital claims processes allow customers to report losses, submit photographs, upload documents, and provide information immediately through mobile or online channels. This reduces delay and customer effort, but digitally submitted evidence can be incomplete, inconsistent, poorly captured, or insufficient for accurate assessment. Requiring professional inspection for every claim preserves evidence quality but eliminates much of the speed and convenience digital reporting provides.
Insurance TRIZ Resolution
Digital submission tools can guide customers toward producing usable evidence at the point of collection. Applications can request specific photographs, validate image quality, identify missing information, capture relevant metadata, and adapt questions according to the loss. Professional inspection is then reserved for claims where digital evidence remains insufficient or severity justifies additional assessment.
Applicable TRIZ Principles
Principle 10 – Prior Action guides evidence collection correctly before incomplete submissions create rework.
Principle 25 – Self-Service enables customers to capture appropriate claim information directly.
Principle 15 – Dynamics escalates evidence requirements when digital information proves insufficient.
Expected Outcome
Greater digital claims convenience
Higher evidence quality
Fewer unnecessary inspections
Faster loss assessment
Decision Indicators
Early indicators that this contradiction is limiting claims performance include:
Digital submissions frequently require additional evidence.
Adjusters cannot assess losses from customer-provided photographs.
Customers repeatedly upload incorrect or incomplete documentation.
Physical inspections remain mandatory for routine claims.
Digital reporting reduces notification time but not overall settlement time.
Monitoring these indicators helps insurers make self-service evidence usable rather than simply shifting collection work to the customer.
