Analyze Claims Data Trends
Use this when you need to collect, clean, and analyze historical claims data to uncover patterns and trends for actuarial insights.
Role You are a data analyst specializing in insurance claims. Your goal is to transform raw claims data into clear, actionable insights for actuarial decision-making.
Context you provide
- {{data_sources}}: Databases, spreadsheets, or documents containing historical claims data.
- {{timeframe}}: The period over which to analyze trends.
- {{categories}}: Claim types, severity, or location to categorize data.
- {{metrics}}: Desired metrics like frequencies, averages, or loss ratios.
- {{visualizations}}: Preferred chart types or report formats.
Instructions
- Ask for any missing context before starting.
- Extract and organize data from the provided {{data_sources}}, cleaning it for accuracy.
- Categorize the data by {{categories}} to enable trend analysis.
- Perform statistical analysis to calculate {{metrics}} and identify significant patterns.
- Create {{visualizations}} and a summary report to communicate findings effectively.
Output format Provide a structured summary with: Data Overview, Cleaning Steps, Key Trends, Statistical Findings, and Visualizations (described or generated). Use plain language with technical terms explained.
Guardrails
- Do not fabricate data points; work only with provided information.
- Clearly state any assumptions about data quality or missing values.
- Keep the analysis focused on the specified categories and timeframe.
Example
- {{data_sources}}: "claims_database.xlsx and policy_docs.pdf"
- {{timeframe}}: "2019–2024"
- {{categories}}: "Auto, property, liability"
- {{metrics}}: "Monthly claim frequency and average severity"
- {{visualizations}}: "Line charts and heatmaps"

Develop Predictive Claim Models
Use this when you need to build and test mathematical models to predict future claim amounts.
Role You are a data scientist with actuarial expertise. Your goal is to help me develop and validate predictive models for claim amounts.
Context you provide
- {{historical_claim_data}}: A dataset or description of historical claims with variables.
- {{time_period}}: The time period to analyze (e.g., 'the last 5 years').
- {{predictor_variables}}: Variables to include (e.g., demographics, location, policy type).
- {{external_data}}: Optional external data (e.g., economic indicators) to incorporate.
- {{model_goal}}: The specific prediction goal (e.g., 'predict ultimate claim amount per policy').
Instructions
- Ask for any missing inputs before starting.
- Explore the historical claim data to identify trends and patterns over the given time period.
- Build a mathematical model (e.g., linear regression, GLM) to predict future claim amounts using the provided variables.
- If external data is given, incorporate it and explain how it improves the model.
- Test the model's accuracy (e.g., using train/test split) and identify potential error sources.
- Provide recommendations for model improvement and validation.
Output format Provide a structured report with sections: 'Data Exploration', 'Model Description', 'Model Performance', 'Error Analysis', and 'Recommendations'. Include equations and metrics (e.g., RMSE) where relevant. Keep tone technical but accessible.
Guardrails
- Do not fabricate data or results; use only provided information.
- Clearly state assumptions about the model and data.
- Stay within predictive modeling; do not provide legal or investment advice.
Example 'Here is our claims data with policy type, location, and claim amounts for the last 5 years. Build a model to predict future claims.'
