Clearspeed’s one-to-one, in-the-moment assessments unlock a new way for homeowner insurers to quickly understand who or what to trust.
Homeowners insurance providers are facing increasing challenges in managing expenses due to the rising cost of construction materials and labor, the uptick in natural disasters, and social inflation. This is further complicated by the challenges of accessing data that provides a reliable, cost-effective, and timely view to risk. Traditional predictive models leave blind spots where misrepresentation, opportunistic fraud, and shifting behaviors fall outside what can be detected, leading to an incomplete view of individual risk. To accommodate this, insurers may include additional steps in the workflow to verify information - a headwind to efficiency and the customer experience - or tradeoff on potential risk with less rigor, undermining confidence in pricing and binding decisions, and leading to billions in premium leakage.
Accurate, individualized fraud risk insights, not predictive estimates
Clearspeed’s voice-based risk assessments analyze the responses to a short set of customized and automated yes/no questions for universal vocal characteristics known to be associated with risk. Insurers get a point-in-time, individualized assessment of risk for each applicant on a number of key areas where data is either hard to find, expensive, or lacks the accuracy needed for confident decision making.
Improve the customer experience for the high-trust majority of applicants
Where no indicators of potential fraud risk are found, applicants can be confidently moved forward, avoiding the high-friction processes designed for the small number of bad actors - improving the applicant’s customer experience and premium accuracy, while shortening your time-to-bind. Where alerted to potential risk of fraud, insurers can apply the standard rigor and process.

Easy insertion into existing workflows
The Clearspeed voice-based risk assessment process starts with homeowner applicants being presented with the Clearspeed questionnaire on any voice-enabled device. Clearspeed analyzes the applicant’s vocal response to the client’s desired question set, quickly identifying and scoring indicators associated with risk. These point-in-time, individualized results are then returned via API or available with the Clearspeed web app. This insight is used to inform next steps in the underwriting process.
