How does Finalyse address your challenges?
Model Implementation
Design, integrate, test and document Prophet models used for reserving, product development, ALM, regulatory compliance and reporting purposes.
Model review
Review, audit and validate existing models required for various reporting measures such as MCEV, IFRS17, Solvency II, Local GAAP, etc.
Reduce complexity and cost
Fight model complexities by taking pragmatic approaches, identifying and implementing quick-wins or by completely reengineering existing processes and improve long term costs.
Identify optimal model points to achieve quicker run times and reduce the number of runs by using, for example, array variables, or other techniques.
Model migration
Perform model migrations where there are legacy data and systems e.g., following mergers or acquisitions. Ensure that Prophet models are consistent and compatible with clients’ systems and processes.
Training
Provide Prophet training sessions, with the aim to transfer knowledge and ensure sound understanding of modelling techniques.
Improve functionality
Introduce Prophet techniques to enhance the model’s functionalities by, for example, introducing calculation loops and minimising the number of ‘out-of-model’ adjustments.
