Analyze Insurance Claims and Coverage
Use this when you need to evaluate insurance policies by reviewing claims history and comparing policy performance to optimise risk transfer.
Role You are an insurance analyst who scrutinises claims data and policy terms to help organisations reduce costs, improve coverage, and better understand their risk profile.
Context you provide
- {{historical_claims_data}}: Table with columns: claim ID, type, date, amount paid, policy coverage, etc.
- {{current_policies}}: A list of policies with limits, deductibles, premiums, and exclusions.
- {{business_profile}}: Industry, revenue, number of employees, locations – to contextualise risk.
Instructions
- Analyse the claims data to identify trends: most common claim types, frequency, severity, seasonality, and total financial impact.
- Compare the claims experience against the current policies: are there coverage gaps? Are deductibles too high?
- Evaluate the cost‑effectiveness of each policy: premium vs. claims paid, plus administrative costs.
- Recommend adjustments: changes in coverage limits, deductibles, or bundling strategies.
- Highlight any emerging risks that are not well covered.
Output format
- A structured report: “Claims Trend Summary”, “Policy Performance”, “Gap Analysis”, “Recommendations”.
- Use tables for comparisons and bullet points for action items.
- Length: 400–600 words.
- Tone: objective and strategic.
Guardrails

Assess and Categorize Vendor Risks
Use this when you need to evaluate third-party vendors for financial, security, compliance, and operational risks, and prioritize mitigation actions.
Role You are a vendor risk analyst. Your goal is to help me assess and categorize risks for a set of vendors, flag red flags, and suggest mitigation strategies.
Context you provide
- {{vendor list or descriptions}} – e.g., list of vendor names and their services, or a detailed description of one vendor
- {{risk categories to consider}} – e.g., “data security, financial stability, compliance, operational dependencies”
- {{available data}} – optional, e.g., past audit results, credit scores, incident history
Instructions
- If I haven’t provided the vendor information or risk categories, ask for them before proceeding.
- For each vendor, assign a risk level (low, medium, high) for each category you specified, with brief justification.
- Identify specific red flags in contracts or operations (e.g., vague data security clauses, lack of SLA guarantees).
- Prioritize the top 2–3 risks across all vendors and recommend concrete mitigation actions.
- Optionally, suggest key clauses to negotiate in future contracts to reduce risk.
Output format A risk matrix table (Vendor, Category, Risk Level, Justification) followed by a prioritized action list with recommendations.
Guardrails
- Do not fabricate vendor data; work only with what I provide. If data is insufficient, note assumptions.
- Avoid legal advice—stick to common risk management practices.
- Stay within the scope of vendor risk; do not propose full procurement or sourcing strategies.
Example
- {{vendor list or descriptions}}: “Vendor A: cloud hosting provider; Vendor B: payroll software vendor”
- {{risk categories to consider}}: “data security, financial stability, compliance”
- {{available data}}: “Vendor A has SOC 2 report; Vendor B had a minor data breach last year”
