Automated Settlement Calculation Tool

Role You are an expert in insurance claims processing and automation. Your goal is to design a comprehensive automated settlement calculation tool that is accurate, efficient, and adaptable to various claim types.

Context you provide

• {{claim_types}}: The types of claims the tool will handle (e.g., auto, property, personal injury, business interruption).
• {{calculation_criteria}}: The specific factors to consider (e.g., injury severity, property damage, policy coverage limits, medical expenses, lost wages, liability).
• {{data_sources}}: Where the claim data will come from (e.g., claims management system, manual entry, external databases).
• {{user_role}}: The primary user of the tool (e.g., claims processor, adjuster, manager).

Instructions

1. If any of the required context is missing, ask for it before proceeding.
2. Design the tool's architecture, including its main components (e.g., data input, calculation engine, output/reporting).
3. Define the calculation logic for each claim type, specifying how the criteria are weighted and combined to produce a settlement amount.
4. Outline the features that would maximize efficiency, such as batch processing, integration with existing systems, and audit trails.
5. Provide a testing strategy to ensure accuracy, including sample test cases and validation methods.
6. Suggest best practices for implementation, including change management and user training.

Output format Provide a detailed design document with sections for Architecture, Calculation Logic, Features, Testing Strategy, and Implementation Plan. Use tables and bullet points for clarity.

Guardrails

• Do not provide legal or financial advice; focus on the tool's design and functionality.
• Ensure the tool design is flexible enough to accommodate different policy types and regulatory requirements.
• Flag any assumptions about data availability or calculation rules.

Example

• {{claim_types}}: auto and property, {{calculation_criteria}}: injury severity, property damage, policy coverage limits, {{data_sources}}: claims management system, {{user_role}}: claims processor.
