The calculation

What drives the estimate

Claims volume, letter frequency, drafting time, review involvement, labor cost, and adoption determine the result.

Annual letter volume annual claims x letters per claim

Number of letters potentially supported by Voltaire each year.

Minutes saved per letter current drafting time - Voltaire-assisted time

Difference between current drafting and workflow time and Voltaire-assisted time.

Hours returned annual letters x minutes saved / 60

Annual adjuster capacity made available for other claim work.

Modeled labor capacity value hours returned x loaded hourly cost

Hours returned valued at fully loaded labor cost.

Modeled review-hour value reviewed claims x review time saved x loaded review cost

Senior, supervisor, or legal review time reduced where applicable.

Year-one modeled value (labor value + review value) x year-one adoption

Capacity and review value adjusted for rollout and adoption.

ROI and payback (year-one modeled value - entered investment) / entered investment

Year-one modeled value compared with your quoted year-one investment.

Actual claim volumes and observed workflow times produce the most relevant result.

Potential impact

Where the value shows up

Faster correspondence can release capacity across several operational constraints at once.

Adjuster time

More time for investigation, coverage analysis, and policyholder communication.

Review burden

Less senior, supervisor, and legal review time.

CAT throughput

More correspondence completed with the existing team during peak demand.

Economics

Lower labor cost per letter and a measurable return on investment.

Illustrative results

How the opportunity scales

Each example assumes a $75 loaded hourly cost and 90% year-one adoption. Your results will reflect your operating inputs.

Capacity equivalent uses 1,800 productive hours per FTE year. It describes work capacity, not a staffing recommendation.

Interpreting the result

Capacity value is not the same as budget savings

The calculator estimates the economic value of time returned to the operation. Realized savings depend on how that capacity is used.

Included in the estimate

  • Claim and letter volume.
  • Drafting and review time saved.
  • Loaded labor cost and year-one adoption.
  • Quoted investment for ROI and payback.

Not assumed

  • Headcount reduction.
  • Indemnity savings.
  • Litigation or LAE impact without supporting baseline data.
  • Guaranteed performance.
