Why Claims Accuracy Is Insurance’s Biggest ROI Lever | Evgeny Aleksandrov, PilotBird

Episode notes

In this episode of Making Risk Flow , host Jake Harding speaks with Evgeny Aleksandrov , Founder and CEO of PilotBird, about why claims accuracy, and not speed, is the biggest lever in modern insurance. Evgeny explains how open-source intelligence and lifestyle analytics help insurers validate claims earlier, uncover organised fraud networks, and avoid costly post-payout recovery. The conversation explores how curated data can mislead adjusters, why a “trust and verify” approach is essential, and how early-lifecycle intelligence delivers outsized returns, often 14–56x ROI. They also discuss how better data tools improve adjuster satisfaction and retention, and what insurers must do to responsibly adopt emerging data sources at scale to future-proof their risk infrastructure.
