The flagship tool, Foresight, based on AI system, has been created in collaboration with the London School of Economics (LSE).
The tool takes into account the strength of evidence on either side of a case to predict the fault in a claim.
Also, the tool uses explainable AI to simulate human decision making and support claims handlers in earlier settlements.
Foresight, which uses a mixture of facts and evidence to stimulate a claim, has originally been developed to assess liability of certain scenarios in motor claims.
