New York, NY, 1/13/26: Following recent announcement of Pilotbird partnering with Cytora, our Founder, Evgeny Aleksandrov, expands on why claims accuracy, and not speed, is the biggest lever in modern insurance in the episode of Making Risk Flow with Jake Harding.
Evgeny explains how open-source intelligence and lifestyle analytics help insurers validate claims earlier, uncover organised fraud networks, and avoid costly post-payout recovery. The conversation explores how curated data can mislead adjusters, why a “trust and verify” approach is essential, and how early-lifecycle intelligence delivers outsized returns, often 14–56x ROI.
They also discuss how better data tools improve adjuster satisfaction and retention, and what insurers must do to responsibly adopt emerging data sources at scale to future-proof their risk infrastructure.
