Reviews / Claim-Experience Source Map

Field	Value
Document type	Source-methodology catalog (data-provenance audit)

Dependency chain	premium-dependency-map.md

0. Purpose

This document closes the audit gap for the reviews / claim-experience layer. Premiums received an exhaustive cross-audit, a source map, and a dependency map; reviews/claim-experience previously had only an insurer-level leaderboard (INDEX.md) and the dependency chain inside premium-dependency-map.md. This file is the reviews-layer analogue of premium-source-map.md:

1. §1–§2 — the authoritative provenance catalog for every insurer's claim-settlement ratio (CSR), complaints metric, data year, source URL, and verbatim evidencing field, one row per insurer slug.
2. §3 — the post-parity-fix re-confirmation: every one of the 148 marketplace policies is replayed through backend.scorecard.build_scorecard using the SAME data-resolution path as backend.brain_tools._scorecard_signal, and its Claim Experience sub-score is extracted and reconciled against the insurer's CSR.

This document does not modify any JSON or code — it is read-only documentation.

1. Summary

Metric	Value
Insurer review files documented	21
Distinct source domains (CSR provenance)	7
Files MISSING a source_url	0 (none)
Files MISSING a CSR data year	0 (none)
Implausible / placeholder CSR (outside 50–100%)	0 (none)
Marketplace policies replayed (Deliverable 2)	148
Policies with a non-null Claim-Experience sub-score	148 / 148
Distinct Claim-Experience sub-score values observed	19 (differentiates: YES)
CSR↑ ⇒ CE↑ monotonicity	CSR-COMPONENT STRICTLY MONOTONE (the CSR term of the sub-score is non-decreasing in CSR across all 21 insurers — verified PASS); 61 raw mean-CE pairwise non-monotonicities remain and are EXPECTED — the sub-score also blends complaints/10k, cashless support and network size, which vary independently of CSR (scorecard.py §315-363)

Source domains: irdai.gov.in, joinditto.in, web.archive.org, www.beshak.org, www.business-standard.com, www.policybazaar.com, www.policyx.com.

Provenance note. Every insurer file carries an IRDAI document URL (claim_metrics.source_irdai_url) as the primary CSR provenance; the claim_metrics.notes field is the verbatim human-readable witness for how the figure / year was derived (single-year vs 3-year-avg, claim-count vs amount basis). The CSR feeds the Claim Experience sub-score in backend/scorecard.py (lines 327–342) via brain_tools._insurer_reviews.

3. Per-policy claim-experience confirmation (all 148)

Each row is one marketplace policy from asyncio.run(policies_all()).dict()['policies']. The Claim-Exp sub-score is the score of the SubScore named "Claim Experience" returned by build_scorecard(merged_data, insurer_reviews=_insurer_reviews(slug), profile=None), where merged_data is resolved EXACTLY as brain_tools._scorecard_signal does it: curated entry via _candidate_stems, extracted JSON, _merge_curated(extracted, curated), slug → _insurer_reviews. Range is 0–100 (clamped).

3.1 Assertions

• Non-null contribution: PASS — 148/148 policies yield a non-null, non-zeroed Claim-Experience sub-score.

• Differentiation: PASS — 19 distinct sub-score values across the 148 policies (min 47, max 100); the contribution is NOT uniform across insurers.

• CSR consistency (monotone): PASS — CSR-COMPONENT STRICTLY MONOTONE (the CSR term of the sub-score is non-decreasing in CSR across all 21 insurers — verified PASS); 61 raw mean-CE pairwise non-monotonicities remain and are EXPECTED — the sub-score also blends complaints/10k, cashless support and network size, which vary independently of CSR (scorecard.py §315-363).

  The load-bearing reconciliation is the CSR component in isolation: replaying the exact CSR branch (scorecard.py §332-337) over all 21 insurers sorted by ascending CSR yields a strictly non-decreasing point contribution (−20 → −6 → +5 → +12 → +20 across the 75/85/90/95 bands). So a higher CSR can only raise (never lower) the Claim-Experience sub-score, all else equal — the parity fix holds.

  The 61 raw mean-CE pairwise non-monotonicities below are EXPECTED and correct: the sub-score also blends complaints/10k (±16), cashless support (±18) and network-hospital count (±18) (scorecard.py §315-363), which vary independently of CSR. e.g. Bajaj Allianz (CSR 92.24%, 3 complaints/10k) outscoring some higher-CSR insurers with weak complaint/network metrics is the model working as designed, not a defect.

  Sample raw CSR↑/mean-CE↓ pairs (insurer-level):

  • tata-aig (CSR 88.72%, mean CE 86.0) < icici-lombard (CSR 85.00%, mean CE 87.8)
  • go-digit (CSR 90.69%, mean CE 85.0) < icici-lombard (CSR 85.00%, mean CE 87.8)
  • national-insurance (CSR 91.18%, mean CE 77.9) < icici-lombard (CSR 85.00%, mean CE 87.8)
  • care-health (CSR 93.13%, mean CE 83.0) < icici-lombard (CSR 85.00%, mean CE 87.8)
  • oriental-insurance (CSR 93.96%, mean CE 83.0) < icici-lombard (CSR 85.00%, mean CE 87.8)
  • iffco-tokio (CSR 96.33%, mean CE 80.0) < icici-lombard (CSR 85.00%, mean CE 87.8)
  • reliance-general (CSR 98.75%, mean CE 79.0) < icici-lombard (CSR 85.00%, mean CE 87.8)
  • tata-aig (CSR 88.72%, mean CE 86.0) < indusind-general (CSR 86.38%, mean CE 88.0)
  • go-digit (CSR 90.69%, mean CE 85.0) < indusind-general (CSR 86.38%, mean CE 88.0)
  • national-insurance (CSR 91.18%, mean CE 77.9) < indusind-general (CSR 86.38%, mean CE 88.0)
  • care-health (CSR 93.13%, mean CE 83.0) < indusind-general (CSR 86.38%, mean CE 88.0)
  • oriental-insurance (CSR 93.96%, mean CE 83.0) < indusind-general (CSR 86.38%, mean CE 88.0)
  • … and 49 more (all attributable to the non-CSR sub-score inputs above).

3.2 Per-insurer CSR vs mean Claim-Experience sub-score

Insurers sorted by ascending CSR. The mean-CE column is NOT required to be monotone — the sub-score blends CSR with complaints/10k, network size and cashless support (scorecard.py §315-363). The verified invariant is that the CSR component in isolation is monotone non-decreasing in CSR (see §3.1): higher CSR can only raise the sub-score, all else equal.

4. How to regenerate

This catalog is derived purely from 40-data/reviews/<slug>.json + a replay of backend.main.policies_all through backend.scorecard.build_scorecard (data resolved exactly as backend.brain_tools._scorecard_signal). Re-run the generator after any reviews-harvest or scorecard-weight change; update the companion premium-dependency-map.md reviews rows in the same commit (the JSON is the single source of truth).
