The mayden perspective

From isolated assistance to a different operating model.

A faster task is valuable only when the whole service improves. Start with the economics of an accepted outcome: the customer served, the claim resolved or the credit file ready for a decision. Then redesign the work, controls and responsibilities around it.

01

Choose the growth agenda

Decide which customer journeys merit a different service proposition, and where AI can extend the reach of specialist expertise.

What matters

Customer conversion, retention and service quality

02

Change the cost of accepted work

Compare process repair, human assistance and greater automation. Include review, recovery and integration costs in the investment case.

What matters

End-to-end cost, turnaround and rework

03

Scale with decision ownership

Define who may recommend, approve and execute. Test exceptions before expanding authority or transaction scope.

What matters

Decision quality, exception rates and traceability

The work, made visible

Explore a different way of working.

Move through the stages. See what intelligence prepares, where professional judgement enters and what happens when the evidence is incomplete.

Resolve the claim, not just the document.

Claims operations

Receive

Capture the request, policy version and required documents with the customer’s permissions.

Working outputA scoped claim record

Standard scenario. Each action remains subject to its stated authority.

What to evaluate

Compare cost per accepted resolution, turnaround, rework and decision quality with the current process.

Illustrative engagement design. Not a client result, a live tool demonstration or a promise of performance.

The evidence behind the conversation

Read. Examine. Challenge.

Our research is open to examination. Start with the argument, follow the sources and bring the questions to your own organisation.

One idea to examine

A cheaper model is not the same as a cheaper outcome.

An exhibit from our research, with its assumptions and boundaries retained.

Compare the cost of an accepted outcome

Hypothetical monetary units per accepted outcome

Configuration A7.50
Configuration B3.16
What this means

Choose only among quality-compliant configurations; lower component price does not determine outcome cost.

Wholly illustrative: A: 600 / 80 = 7.50; B: 300 / 95 = 3.1579, rounded to 3.16. Each attempts 100 cases. Same acceptance, quality, coverage and observation window; failed attempts stay in total cost. Transition investment excluded; not cash savings.
