Insurance

Policy in the hands
of the business.

Underwriting, pricing, eligibility, and claims logic. Readable by compliance, bound to policy dates, and entirely under your control.

The problem

Lost in the landscape of IT

The same exclusion lives in a rating engine, a policy admin system, and a claims workflow, each maintained by a different team. No one can confidently show what rule applied to a policy signed three years ago.

Fragmented logic

Underwriting appetite, rating factors, and exclusions are scattered across PAS, rating engines, spreadsheets, and vendor workflows. Over time, broker and direct channels drift apart without anyone noticing.

The policy date problem

Cover applies as at inception. Claims are judged against the date of loss. Regulatory filings take effect on fixed dates. Temporal logic in application code becomes impossible to follow.

Opaque decisions

Regulators, auditors, and customers ask why a risk was accepted, priced, or declined. When the answer lives only in application code, compliance becomes reconstruction.

Introducing Lemma

Governable, compliant rules

Separate how rules are governed from where they run. Author once, execute beside underwriting, rating, distribution, and claims services.

Explainable evaluation

Every decision produces a trace showing which rule applied, with what inputs, and in what order. Declined submissions, loaded premiums, and fraud referrals become defensible.

Time-aware versioning

Multiple rule versions coexist. The engine evaluates against the version effective on the policy date, without fragile date trees in application code.

No vendor lock-in

Your underwriting and pricing IP stays in an open language you own, not buried in proprietary vendor consoles that tie your logic to a platform contract.

Central governance

Underwriting, actuarial, compliance, and engineering teams author, review, and publish specs in LemmaBase. Logic stays in an open language, not vendor consoles.

Why LemmaBase

Open infrastructure for insurance

Open-source foundation. No vendor lock-in. Deterministic by design.

  • Lemma is open source (Apache 2.0). Your carrier owns the rule definitions, not a vendor.
  • Deterministic evaluation with complete audit trails on every underwriting and claims decision.
  • Time-aware versioning faithful to inception dates, loss dates, and regulatory filings.
  • Product intent moves faster to production while remaining visible to compliance and audit.
