Every carrier has a story like this one.
The new claims system finally goes live. It’s cleaner, faster, integrated with everything. The dashboards look sharp and leadership calls it a milestone. By every metric on the spreadsheet, it was a win. Yet, six months in, the same issues keep showing up: disputes that should’ve been caught early, or a pattern of reopened claims that no one can trace to a single cause.
Then someone asks:
“Can we pull up what was actually said in the statements that drove these decisions?”
Silence. Everyone has numbers, not words.
Roughly 80% of unstructured enterprise information goes unused, and that’s the very data insurers rely on most during claims. Recorded statements are stored, but not searchable. Archived, but not analyzable.
A claims platform can track thousands of data points, yet miss the one thing that tells you why something happened.

Systems Are Capturing Everything Except the Truth
The system knows when the call started and ended, who logged it, how long it took, and when the payment went out. But it doesn’t know how the claimant described the event, or the exact phrasing that revealed partial fault. It doesn’t capture the hesitation before a date, or the way two stories subtly diverged.
Once those words disappear into storage, the whole operation runs on memory. Summaries become the record of truth, even when they’re partial.
Leaders believe they’re managing quality, but they’re mostly grading how well adjusters summarize.
You can see it in three quiet failure patterns:
Recall becomes your data strategy
When judgment replaces evidence, adjusters rely on what they remember, paraphrasing complex details while keeping the call moving. Later, when something doesn’t add up, no one revisits the recording because it’s too time-consuming. That’s how a claimant can repeat the same phrasing across two unrelated claims and slip through unnoticed.
QA can’t see how the story was told
Supervisors spend hours reviewing summaries. They can flag grammar, tone, completeness, but they can’t assess technique. Did the adjuster ask good follow-up questions? Did they let the claimant lead too much?
Reports replace conversations
Data scientists build dashboards that crunch structured fields. They model leakage, cycle time, and fraud probability using claim forms, not the actual statements. The one dataset that could connect patterns across claims—the recorded voice—stays dark.
That’s how transformation efforts lose traction. They make the process visible, but not the truth behind it.
What Great Claims Leaders Do That the Rest Don’t
Claim leaders who get modernization right start with access—the ability to see and use what was said—before layering on automation. They modernize the conversation before the system.
They treat recorded statements as decision data. They make them searchable within minutes of capture—summary, transcript, and audio all linked together. That single change makes adjusters stop typing mid-call, supervisors able to review real interviews, and allows leaders see how investigation quality drives results.
QA finally gets proactive. Training becomes specific, and fraud patterns show up in language, not just numbers. The teams work from evidence, not recollection.
That shift is already happening inside carriers using n2uitive’s Statement Intelligence™. Within minutes of a recording, adjusters get structured summaries and transcripts synced to the audio, giving managers visibility without adding steps.
How to Know Your Claim Modernization Is Actually Working
To see if modernization actually changed outcomes, ask:
- Can a supervisor search any statement by keyword and jump to that moment in the recording?
- Can QA compare how adjusters handle the same type of claim?
- Can SIU teams flag reused phrases or repeated narratives across files?
- Can data teams include statement content in their analysis without manual transcription?
If most answers are no, modernization stopped too soon, and visibility is still your missing step.
That’s the gap leading carriers are closing now. A top 5 P&C insurer reduced statement management time by 30% and shortened onboarding to a single day after making every statement searchable through n2uitive.
You Modernized the Pipe. Now Modernize the Water.
Claims systems move faster than ever. They route, assign, close—and repeat. But the information running through them hasn’t evolved with the workflow: it’s still partial notes and missing context.
Modernization only matters if it improves what leaders can see. n2uitive helps make the words that built the claim visible, so modernization finally means progress. See how that visibility looks inside your own operation.
