Boston Consulting Group (BCG)

A working AI agent in four weeks, in production in three months

In production. We continue to improve it with BCG.

BCG needed an AI agent that returns structured results people can review. StrataEdge and two engineers built a working version in four weeks. It has review checkpoints where a person confirms each result before it is used.

Defense Health Agency

A data ecosystem and AI agents for service members’ treatment records

Proof of concept, completed in 14 weeks

A service member’s treatment record draws on separate operational, treatment, and purchased-care systems. We built a multi-cloud data ecosystem that brings those records into governed data products with full lineage. AI agents analyze the records and answer questions across documents, and service members review and certify their record in a portal.

StrataEdge Reconciliation Platform

Our software compares bordereaux, commissions, premiums, and claims with the contracts behind them. It shows the evidence for each check and sends discrepancies to an auditor for review. We built it for finance, audit, and delegated authority teams at carriers, MGAs, and program administrators.

  • Premium bordereaux against binding agreements and rate terms
  • Commission and brokerage fees against producer agreements
  • Premium and claims entries against the source records behind them

At an insurance carrier that works with more than 250 MGAs, quarterly auditing fell from five people for a week to one person for a day. Manual checks found that 99% of outputs met audit requirements, compared with 90% before.

Services

You can hire us for one service or several.

Reduce manual work

AI agents and automation

We remove unnecessary steps, build AI agents, and automate the work that remains. We show supporting evidence and route exceptions to people for review.

We built a working AI agent for BCG in four weeks and took it to production in three months.

AI agents and automation

Make data usable

Data and technology modernization

We connect fragmented records, preserve their sources, and improve the software and data flows your teams rely on.

For the Defense Health Agency, we built a multi-cloud data ecosystem and AI agents that assemble treatment records from separate health systems.

Data and technology modernization

Use AI where it helps

AI strategy and governance

We assess the work, data, and full cost of delivery and operation. You get investment priorities, measures of success, and clear responsibility for decisions.

Linda managed GEICO’s $1.2B technology budget as CTO. Allan’s company FamilyLink reached more than 100 million users. Both work directly with clients.

AI strategy and governance

Prepare your teams

Organization design and training

We define roles, career paths, and leadership responsibilities, and deliver leadership development and AI training. Engage us for this work alone or as part of an AI or technology project.

DigiKey implemented new roles, jobs, and development plans for its technology teams in the United States and India.

How we work

Most clients start with a review or a proof of concept. We agree on scope, cost, and the result we will measure before we start. Linda and Allan work directly with your team throughout.

AI investment review

2–4 weeks

We review the work, data, and full cost with your leaders. You get a ranked list of projects with their costs, including work that needs no AI and work you should stop.

Proof of concept

4–8 weeks

We build a working version against your real examples and measure it against a result we agree on first. For BCG, this took four weeks.

Production build

Scoped after the proof of concept

We connect the application to your systems, set up monitoring and human review, and train the people who will run it. BCG’s agent was in production three months after we started.

Organization design and training

Scoped per team

We define roles, career paths, and leadership responsibilities, and train leaders and staff to use AI. DigiKey implemented the roles and plans we developed.

Industries

Most of our work is in insurance finance and audit, mortgage operations, and government health records. We have also worked with BCG in professional services and DigiKey in electronics distribution.
