Auto Insurance Claims Forecasting: Full-Scale Overhaul Now, or First Triage High-Cost, High-Volatility Segments to Validate Data and Model Feasibility?

Minerva judgment

Prioritize a triage-and-validate path: with data feasibility, trend authenticity, and model downside risk all unknown, first gather evidence through a limited, reversible pilot before deciding whether to scale into a full-scale overhaul.

Human-controlled next action

The committee assigns the data and risk team to propose a candidate list of high-cost, high-volatility segments and a data feasibility assessment within a defined deadline.

What would reverse the recommendation

If it can be demonstrated that the competitive and pricing lag costs of delaying a full-scale overhaul exceed the downside risk from unreliable data and models, the response should shift to an immediate full-scale overhaul.
