Against the documents in the file
Attach the schedule, the wording, endorsements and reports, and each statement in the summary is checked against them.
Coming soon · For insurers and brokers
A claim summary quotes the deductible from the schedule, the waiting period from the wording and the amount from the adjuster’s estimate. Each was overtaken by another document in the same file. Velydian for insurance is built to read a claim file in the order its documents prevail.
“The deductible is CHF 5,000, as set out in the policy schedule.”
“With effect from 1 January, the deductible is increased to CHF 10,000.”
Endorsement 2, in the same claim file
The schedule says CHF 5,000, but a later endorsement raised it to CHF 10,000. The endorsement prevails.
The stakes
Estimated yearly cost of insurance fraud in the United States, across all lines.
Coalition Against Insurance Fraud (2022), The Impact of Insurance Fraud on the U.S. EconomyShare of total claims spending in Europe estimated to go to fraud, detected and undetected.
Insurance Europe (2024), Breaking boundariesFCA fine over home-insurance renewal letters whose “competitive price” wording the insurer had not checked. Nearly 9 million letters were affected.
UK Financial Conduct Authority, Lloyds Bank General Insurance (Jul 2021)What it catches
Each one with the claim, the passage Velydian reads, and the verdict. Examples for illustration.
“The deductible is CHF 5,000.”
Endorsement 2: “the deductible is increased to CHF 10,000”.Needs Revision
The later document prevails.
“Cover starts after 30 days.”
Policy wording: “a waiting period of 90 days applies”.Not Supported
The wording sets 90 days.
“The accepted loss is CHF 184,000.”
Final adjuster report: “accepted loss CHF 162,500”.Needs Revision
An earlier estimate, quoted after the final report.
“Water damage is covered.”
Wording: “…except damage from rising groundwater”.Needs Revision
The exclusion may apply to this claim.
“The loss was notified within 48 hours.”
Notification form dated five days after the loss.Not Supported
The file contradicts the summary.
“The broker confirmed cover by phone.”
No document in the file records this.Unverifiable
Flagged so the handler can find the record or remove the line.
Not another fact checker
Velydian checks the amounts and dates. It also weighs what a summary does with them: which document it relies on and how strongly it states the cover. A limit can be right and the summary can still mislead.
“The policy covers the loss in full, up to CHF 500,000.”Needs RevisionSource: the documents in the claim file. Example for illustration.
Limits, deductibles, dates and amounts, checked against the documents in the file.
Does the schedule say 500,000 or 50,000?
Whether the statement still holds once every document in the file is read.
Does another document in the file change it?
Whether the statement is as strong as its evidence, and what was left out.
Is this the whole picture the claims manager should see?
How it works
Attach the documents and Velydian checks each statement in the summary in one of three ways.
Attach the schedule, the wording, endorsements and reports, and each statement in the summary is checked against them.
When a summary cites a law, a regulation or a published wording, Velydian opens it and checks the statement against it.
Where no document in the file settles a statement, it is marked Unverifiable, so the handler can find the record or remove the line.
Three layers of checking
Amounts that drift, dates that do not match, an earlier document read as current.
An estimate quoted after the final adjuster’s report.
Cover the wording does not give, a document that says something else, and what was left out.
An exclusion in the wording left out of a coverage statement.
When a statement rests on a note, Velydian looks for the document that settles it.
A broker note is flagged, with the policy wording offered instead.
One verdict per claim
The documents checked back the statement as written.
Close, but an amount, a date or a limit does not match the document.
The documents do not back the statement, or say something different.
No document in the file settles it, for example a phone call nobody recorded.
Open any verdict to see the passage and the reasoning behind it. Correct a line or swap a source and it is checked again. Velydian weighs the evidence; the handler decides.

Early access
The insurance layer is built and not yet switched on. Early-access firms send one claim file; we run it with them and they decide whether to go further. Nothing is charged for that first run.
The general engine works on any document today: every claim checked against the sources it cites, sources it finds, or your own files.
Questions
The general engine checks any document against its sources or your own files today, including a claim summary against the documents you attach. The insurance layer, which reads a claim file in the order its documents prevail, is built and not yet switched on.
Request early access below. We run your first claim file with you, and you decide whether to go further.
No. It shows which document each statement relies on and whether it holds. The decision stays with the handler.
Three places. The sources your document cites; sources Velydian finds on official websites, research databases and the wider web for claims without a citation; or your own files, if you attach them.
When you run a check, your document’s text is sent over an encrypted connection to our servers and AI services in Switzerland and the EU. To find evidence, short search queries built from your claims are sent to web and scholarly search services. Your document’s content and results are deleted automatically about 24 hours after your check; source links and summary data are kept.
English is measured and in daily use. German and French are in validation.
Velydian supports human review. It shows the evidence behind every verdict so you can decide. In high-stakes work, expert judgement stays essential.
