Challenge

Build Post-Hurricane Claims Fraud Detection Agent with Claude Agents SDK

Catastrophe claims fraud spikes following severe storm events, requiring rapid document auditing. You will construct an automated fraud audit agent using the Claude Agents SDK and o3 reasoning models to analyze adjuster notes against storm data. The solution must achieve at least 88% precision in flagging suspicious claims.

Challenge brief

What you are building

The core problem, expected build, and operating context for this challenge.

Build an intelligent claims auditing agent using Claude Agents SDK and o3 reasoning capabilities to detect inflated catastrophe loss estimates.

Delivery guide

How work is evaluated

Evaluation

Evaluates the agent's ability to classify claim files as authentic or fraudulent and generate structured audit reports.

Datasets

Challenge datasets

Public datasets, plus the private datasets you have access to.

Evaluation rubric

How submissions are scored

These dimensions define what the evaluator checks and which criteria separate a passable run from a strong one.

Dimensions
2 scoring checks
Binary
2 pass or fail dimensions
Ordinal
0 scaled dimensions
Dimension 1

valid_json_structure

Checks if the model returns a valid JSON matching required response schema.

Binary check

This dimension contributes its full weight only when the submission satisfies the requirement. Partial credit is not awarded.

Dimension 2

precision

Precision score of fraud detection classification • target: 0.88 • range: 0-1

Binary check

This dimension contributes its full weight only when the submission satisfies the requirement. Partial credit is not awarded.

Learning goals

What you should walk away with

  • Implement autonomous claims audit workflows using the Claude Agents SDK.

  • Integrate o3 reasoning APIs to cross-examine claims notes with meteorological damage signatures.

  • Evaluate fraud detection performance using precision, recall, and cross-validation metrics.

Resources and assets

Reference links and supporting material

Dataset notes

Synthetic dataset containing 500 post-hurricane claim records with loss estimates, adjuster notes, and ground-truth fraud labels based on court filings.
