The system’s task may be to check whether a required attachment is present and readable. That is different from deciding policy coverage, establishing fraud or authorising settlement.
Define the checklist and its authority
Identify the product, claim type and approved document requirements. Keep the source version current and distinguish a mandatory item from a request that depends on case context.
MAS’s FEAT principles provide a financial-sector reference for responsible AI. They do not establish that a document-checking model can make a final insurance determination.
An illustrative insurer could flag an unreadable page for review without telling the customer that the claim itself is invalid.
Show the gap with sufficient context
Explain which document or field requires attention and how the claimant can respond through an authorised channel. Check whether the information was already supplied elsewhere before requesting it again.
Use appropriate human review for ambiguous requirements. The assistant should not invent a rule to resolve an incomplete policy record.
Evaluate different formats and relevant languages. A tool that works on clean scans may produce excessive requests when customers submit ordinary mobile images.
Count customer effort in the result
Measure repeated requests, unnecessary submissions and corrections alongside processing time. Keep the original intake population visible so difficult documents do not disappear from the reported completion rate.
Provide an escalation route and a record of why the request was made. A human handler should be able to inspect and correct the checker’s conclusion.
Provide handlers with a view of the checker’s request history. If the same attachment is repeatedly marked missing, staff need to see whether the problem concerns format, synchronisation or a mistaken requirement. That visibility can prevent a claimant from being asked to solve an internal workflow error through repeated submissions.
The useful outcome is a clearer administrative journey. Document AI earns its place when it helps the insurer and claimant establish what is needed, rather than converting uncertainty about a file into an unsupported decision about the claim.
