Challenge

Governed Agentic Underwriting Assistant with Claude Agents SDK and Claude 4.1 Opus

Modern insurance carriers face strict compliance requirements when delegating underwriting authority to autonomous AI systems. You will build an agentic governance workflow using Claude Agents SDK and Claude 4.1 Opus to audit commercial policy applications. Achieve 100% compliance audit trail validation and zero unverified coverage decisions across test policies.

Delivery guide

How work is evaluated

Evaluation

Verify 100% audit logging completeness and strict rule adherence for agent underwriting actions.

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

zero_unverified_binds

No application violating max limits is automatically bound.

Binary check

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

Dimension 2

complete_audit_trail

Every decision has a complete, structured trace step log.

Binary check

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

Dimension 3

audit_compliance_rate

Percentage of applications passing statutory compliance checks • target: 1 • range: 0-1

Binary check

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