Our approach

The DASH framework: how we deliver

Every engagement addresses four dimensions: Domain, AI, Systems and Humans. That's what separates building an application from changing how the business works.

Four dimensions

What every program has to get right

  • Domain

    Insurance expertise and data intelligence in every application. We map your value chain before we design a single screen.

    Readiness Score · Line-of-business playbooks · Data models

  • AI

    Purpose-built agents embedded in the workflow from the first sprint: the foundation of the build, not a phase-two add-on.

    Insurance AI agents · AI pattern library · Governance

  • Systems

    Integration architecture that connects new capability to Guidewire, Duck Creek, Sapiens, legacy cores and third-party data.

    Integration blueprints · Platform protocol

  • Humans

    Designed for the professionals who use it every day. AI recommendations show their reasoning, and adoption is measured, not assumed.

    Trust design · Graduated authority · Adoption metrics

Discovery to production

A delivery path with no big-bang surprises

  1. Discovery Sprint

    2 weeks · fixed fee

    We assess domain maturity, data quality, system architecture and organizational readiness, then give you a DASH Readiness Score (0–100), a value chain map and a prioritized roadmap. It works whether you're already on a platform or starting fresh.

  2. Architecture & design

    2–4 weeks

    We design the application architecture, integration patterns and AI specifications, and test the design with the underwriters, adjusters and agents who will use it before anything is built.

  3. Build & iterate

    Agile sprints

    Every sprint produces a working increment reviewed by your stakeholders. Domain expertise on the team means we build the right thing the first time.

  4. Launch & trust

    Ongoing

    Go-live is the start. AI begins in assist mode and earns more authority as confidence grows. We track adoption and override rates alongside delivery dates.

For technology leaders

Built for your architecture, not around it

You've spent years building your core systems stack. We modernize incrementally, connecting to your existing ecosystem rather than replacing it.

Architecture & integration

Connect without replacing

Your core systems aren't going anywhere. Guidewire, Duck Creek, Sapiens, AS/400: we design around them with API-first, event-driven patterns that layer modern capability on top of stable infrastructure.

  • Integration patterns for Guidewire, Duck Creek, Sapiens, Majesco and legacy cores
  • API-first architecture with event-driven orchestration
  • Connectors for rating engines, document management (OnBase, FileNet) and third-party data
  • Modern UI and workflow layers over existing systems

AI governance

AI you can explain to your underwriters

Every model we deploy shows its reasoning. AI starts in assist mode and takes on more responsibility as confidence grows. Override and adoption rates are first-class measures.

  • Explainable recommendations with full audit trails
  • Graduated authority: assist, then suggest, then act
  • Override tracking and adoption dashboards
  • Model governance designed around NAIC and state regulatory expectations

Speed to market

From discovery to production in weeks, not years

The DASH framework compresses timelines without cutting corners, and building on Unqork avoids the custom-code debt that slows every future change.

  • A two-week Discovery Sprint with a fixed-fee DASH Readiness Score
  • First production release typically in 12–24 weeks
  • Deployable increments every sprint, reviewed by your stakeholders
  • Phased modernization where every phase delivers working functionality

Talent & teams

Senior people, start to finish

Architects, insurance domain experts and AI engineers stay with your program from kickoff to go-live, and we build your internal capability so you aren't dependent on us.

  • Insurance domain experts embedded in every delivery team
  • Direct access to architects and principals throughout
  • Center of Excellence and knowledge transfer included by default

Technical capabilities

What we bring to every engagement

  • Accelerators

    Reusable insurance accelerators for underwriting, claims and intake that reduce first-sprint risk.

  • AI agent deployment

    Underwriting copilots, claims triage and document extraction shipped from sprint one.

  • Integration architecture

    API-first patterns connecting modern platforms to your existing core systems.

  • Data & analytics

    Operational data models, reporting pipelines and real-time dashboards built in.

  • Security & compliance

    Designed in from day one and aligned with your organization's guardrails.

  • Center of Excellence

    We build your internal capability so you're not dependent on us forever.
