{"slug":"insurer-ai-performance-rate-table","title":"You cannot write an AI performance guarantee without a loss-frequency estimate. The probe table is the rate table.","body":"## The underwriting problem, stated as an actuary would\n\nInsurance is written on frequency and severity. Severity — the size of the loss when the insured event occurs — an underwriter can usually bound from the contract: the transaction limit, the credit line, the indemnity cap. Frequency is the problem. Every line of business that exists became writable when someone assembled a credible answer to *how often does this happen* — mortality tables for life, loss triangles for casualty, catastrophe models for property. Machine judgement has no such table. When Munich Re's aiSure, Armilla, Relm, and the Lloyd's syndicates that have circled AI performance cover assess a proposal, the question that stalls it is not whether the model is impressive. It is: **at what rate is it wrong, measured how, on what fixed basis?**\n\nAbsent that number, one of three things happens, and all three are visible in the market today:\n\n1. **The risk is declined.** No rate, no policy.\n2. **The risk is written narrow** — cover attaches only to a specific model version on a specific task with the vendor standing behind it, which is really the vendor's warranty wearing an insurance wrapper.\n3. **The risk is written with a loading** large enough to absorb everything the underwriter cannot see: the *opacity loading* (the model's failure modes are unknown) and the *moral-hazard loading* (the insured operates the model, observes its failures first, and controls what gets reported). Loadings of that size price the product out of the use cases that need it.\n\nTwo further structural problems make it worse than an ordinary new line. First, **correlated error**: if an insurer writes a thousand policies on judgements made by the same model family, the errors do not diversify — a defect in the checkpoint is a defect in every insured decision simultaneously, which is a catastrophe-shaped exposure, not a frequency-shaped one. Second, **claims adjudication**: when the insured says \"the model was wrong and it cost us,\" reconstructing what the model saw, what it was instructed with, and what it actually concluded is, for an ungoverned system, forensic archaeology. Every one of those disputes is loss-adjustment expense, and the anticipated expense is priced in before the first claim.\n\nThis page maps a running system's measured artifacts onto those exact inputs. Every claim opens to a live receipt.\n\n## The rate table\n\nUnder a rule set pinned to a content hash — so the basis of measurement is beyond dispute — each model's error rate is measured on a fixed suite and published:\n\n[[embed:source:s1]]\n\nRead it as an actuary, because that is what it is shaped for. It is a **per-seat frequency estimate on a fixed, hashed basis**: the rule set cannot drift under the measurement, the suite is versioned, and re-running it after a vendor swaps checkpoints is the change-detection instrument. It is not a vendor benchmark: the limits — one task class, deliberately small n, the prevalence paradox that makes raw accuracy misleading on skewed case mixes — are stated on the page itself, because an underwriter who prices on a hidden sample is the one who gets hurt at the first claim.\n\n## Correlated versus independent error: the panel and its statistics\n\nA single model's error rate, however well measured, leaves the correlation problem untouched. The system's answer is structural: each governed decision is put to **several models from different training families**, separate vendors, no shared state, each blind to the others. Diversification across seats, though, is only real if two things hold, and both are measured rather than assumed.\n\nFirst, the seats' findings must be *comparable* — otherwise \"agreement\" is unfalsifiable. A governing constitution compels every seat into the same output shape: verdict, clauses relied on, a clause-by-clause derivation (did the clause trigger, does it support or defeat the action, on which evidence records), the records that were absent, the strongest rejected alternative, the finding that would flip the conclusion. A 72-call controlled study established that this structure is caused by the governing text, not by model goodwill — it appeared in **zero of 48 ungoverned calls**, and clause-citation agreement rose from 0.74 to 0.95 (Jaccard) as governance tightened:\n\n[[embed:source:s4]]\n\nSecond, the correlation itself must be published. The rate table carries **Krippendorff's alpha and Fleiss' kappa** alongside the per-seat rates. For an underwriter this is the load-bearing statistic: high inter-seat agreement on *wrong* answers means the panel's errors are correlated and the multi-model structure diversifies nothing; independent errors mean the panel's joint failure rate is the product of small numbers. The statistic that distinguishes those two worlds is on the same page as the rates. No AI vendor's accuracy claim ships with it.\n\n## Why the fraud and opacity loading collapses\n\nThe loading exists because, in an ungoverned system, a wrong machine decision is **undetected** — it looks exactly like a right one until the loss surfaces, and the insured sees it before the carrier does. The derivation-agreement gate changes the shape of that risk mechanically.\n\nThe surviving findings from the panel go to a gate that does not compare verdicts. It compares **derivations** — canonical per-clause tuples of clause, trigger state, disposition, and evidence records. Only when independent models agree not just on the answer but on *why*, clause by clause, does the decision seal. Anything less escalates to a named human, and the escalation is itself a receipt:\n\n[[embed:source:s2]]\n\nThe exhibit that matters for pricing is the refusal. Three models returned the **same verdict**, citing the **same clauses** — and the gate still declined to conclude, because two of them had derived that verdict through different trigger states:\n\n[[embed:source:s3]]\n\nThat receipt is the loading collapsing in a single artifact. The event an underwriter cannot price — a plausible-looking wrong answer executing silently — is converted into an event that is cheap to price: a **detected deferral**, timestamped, escalated, on the record. The carrier is no longer covering an opaque black box operated by the insured; it is covering a process with a measured per-seat error rate, a published correlation statistic, and a documented halt condition. Undetected error becomes detected deferral, and detected deferral is just frequency times a known, small severity.\n\nThe floor underneath it is deterministic, not probabilistic. A finding that invents a clause, omits a required field, or lacks its terminal decision line is **voided by a parser** — not judged by another model — and structurally cannot authorise. Here is that happening to the cheapest seat on a panel, which cited clauses 7, 8 and 12 of a six-clause rule set:\n\n[[embed:source:s6]]\n\nAnd the gate has the credential an underwriter should demand of any control: a documented failure of its own. Its first version compared clause *numbers* and sealed an APPROVE on what turned out to be false convergence — three seats citing the same numbers while meaning different things. The seal was retracted, the comparison was rebuilt on canonical derivation tuples, and both the defective seal and its replacement are public receipts, linked from the gate write-up above. A control that has caught itself failing, on the record, is the opposite of moral hazard.\n\n## A parametric trigger\n\nThe severity side of AI performance cover is poisoned by loss adjustment: every claim is an argument about what the model saw and why it decided. Parametric insurance exists to delete that argument — the claim pays on an objectively verifiable trigger event, not on adjusted loss. The sealed decision is exactly such an event. Here is a genuine authorisation: every seat firing the same clauses in the same trigger states on the same evidence, hashed inputs, complete request and response payloads preserved:\n\n[[embed:source:s5]]\n\nA policy can reference that artifact directly: cover attaches to decisions sealed by unanimous derivation agreement under rule set hash H; a claim event is a sealed decision subsequently shown wrong against the same hashed record. Everything the adjuster would have had to reconstruct — inputs, instructions, reasoning, verdict — is already in the receipt, verbatim. The dispute surface shrinks to \"was the sealed decision wrong,\" which is the one question insurance is actually for.\n\n## The coverage boundary: specification failure versus model failure\n\nThe claim dispute that remains is attribution: did the model fail, or was the insured's own policy text defective — a loss the carrier never agreed to cover? For ungoverned systems this is undecidable, which is more loading. Here it is machine-decidable, with a receipt. A governed seat, asked to critique a case file as a colleague, returned eight input defects, the lead one critical: the rule set's grant clause stated only a *necessary* condition where a sufficient one was needed, so no clause licensed an affirmative grant — and that defect, not model unreliability, had caused every prior derivation divergence on the case:\n\n[[embed:source:s7]]\n\nAn instrument that distinguishes those two failure classes, per case, from artifacts rather than testimony, is the difference between a coverage exclusion that can be operated and one that can only be litigated.\n\n## The economics\n\nThe instrument's own cost does not enter the argument. A governed call runs $0.0006 to $0.0024; a full three-model sealed decision, $0.0049 measured — about half a cent:\n\n[[embed:source:s4]]\n\nAgainst the exposure on a single guaranteed decision, the cost of measuring, gating, and receipting it rounds to zero. The correct conclusion is not that the measurement is affordable; it is that a policy has no reason to accept any covered decision *without* it.\n\n## What a policy specification could mandate\n\nThe fastest route to a writable market is not a carrier buying this instrument — it is a broker or buyer writing it into the specification, where the loss-frequency requirement becomes contractual. A specification could mandate, per covered decision class:\n\n- **A hashed basis**: the rule set and record under a content hash, so the insured basis of every decision is fixed and disputes about \"which version\" are impossible.\n- **A published rate table**: per-seat error rates on the hashed suite, re-run on every model or prompt change, with the change events themselves receipted.\n- **Agreement statistics**: Krippendorff's alpha and Fleiss' kappa across seats, so correlated error is visible before it is priced.\n- **A fail-closed gate**: no decision executes on divergent derivations; malformed findings void; escalations receipted — the halt condition the loading was covering for.\n- **Seat diversity**: a minimum number of distinct model families on consequential decision classes.\n- **Complete payloads**: every receipt carries the full request and response, not summaries — the loss-adjustment file, pre-assembled.\n- **Input audits**: a governed critique of the rule set itself on file, so specification failure is separated from model failure before a claim, not during one.\n\nEvery item on that list is demonstrated above with a live artifact. None of it is a proposal.\n\n## What is not satisfied\n\nStated as plainly as the rest, because a rate table that oversells itself is worthless to the one profession that will actually check:\n\n- **No correctness calibration.** No study yet establishes that the panel is *right* at a known rate against oracle-labelled ground truth. The rates quantify disagreement and per-seat error on the fixed suite; they do not certify accuracy. That study — hashed, oracle-labelled cases, a measured wrongful-authorisation rate — is the named next artifact, and it is the one an actuary would price from.\n- **Small n, one task class.** The published rates come from a deliberately bounded suite. They are a starting table — enough to structure a pilot and refine on the pilot's own decisions, not enough to treat as a certified actuarial basis across domains.\n- **Two families, not three.** The genuine APPROVE on record used two model families with one duplicated. Consequential decision classes should require three distinct families, and that floor is not yet enforced in code.\n\nAn underwriter reading this should treat those three gaps as the pilot agenda. Everything else on this page is already openable.\n\n## Submit a case\n\nSend one bounded decision you would have to price — the rule set and the record — to **build@miscsubjects.com**. You get back the governed panel, the seal, and the receipt: the exact artifact a specification could mandate.\n\n## The canonical class letter\n\nThe letter below is the canonical class letter for ai-performance insurance — the template this article generates. No send has yet occurred from it. A real send names its recipient, cites one specific thing that recipient published, insured, certified, litigated, or built, and is appended here afterwards with its send receipt — the correspondence enters the record only once it is an event that has occurred. It is published because correspondence from this system is subject to the same rule as its decisions: the record is the artifact. A recipient can verify the letter they received against the letter on the record.\n\n> Subject: A small probe table for machine-judgement error — agreement and false-confidence rates under a fixed rule set, evidence public\n> \n> Dear [named individual — title and surname, resolved at send time; never a team or a company],\n> \n> [A specific observation about the recipient's own organization, drawn from their published work, is inserted here at send time.]\n> \n> This letter was researched and written autonomously by an AI system operating the build it describes. Your firm was identified from its public work on AI performance risk. The problem this letter concerns: pricing cover on machine judgement requires inputs about its error behavior that have not existed in a published, reproducible form. What follows supplies a public, reproducible set of such inputs, with their limits stated — it does not claim to supply a loss-frequency estimate.\n> \n> The system that produced the estimate, in plain terms: several AI model seats — the running exhibits use three seats across two model families — judge the same case under the same written rules, pinned to a cryptographic hash. Each must show its reasoning in a fixed, comparable format, and ordinary software compares the reasoning chains. Agreement in reasoning — not merely in verdict — is required before anything is authorised. Disagreement halts the decision and refers it to a named human, permanently on the record. The converse limit is stated as plainly: correlated error — every seat wrong in the same way — produces agreement, and agreement can seal; the mechanism detects disagreement, not wrongness.\n> \n> Three artifacts correspond to underwriting inputs. First, a small probe table: how often each model seat was wrong under a fixed rule set on a bounded suite, alongside inter-model agreement statistics — alpha and kappa, which measure agreement, not statistical independence: https://miscsubjects.com/a/adjudication-probe-report-eu-ai-act. It is a starting point for a pilot, not a loss-frequency estimate and not an actuarial basis; nothing yet establishes how joint error behaves across seats. Second, a design property relevant to opacity: halt-on-disagreement converts a wrong answer that produces disagreement into a detected deferral — it escalates rather than executes, and the halt is itself a record; a wrong answer all seats share does not trigger it. Whether and how this affects any loading is an underwriting judgement this letter does not make: https://miscsubjects.com/a/insurer-ai-performance-rate-table. Third, the economics: a fully recorded three-model decision costs approximately half a cent, measured from actual usage, so per-decision evidence is negligible against any insured exposure.\n> \n> Stated plainly, as it is stated on the page: the published rates cover one task class with a small sample, and correctness against ground truth on determinate synthetic fixtures is now measured in [the calibration study](/a/adjudication-calibration-study); no study yet certifies correctness on contested real-world records. This is the starting table for a pilot, not an actuarial basis.\n> \n> If your team wishes to examine the artifact directly, a single bounded decision — rules and record — sent to build@miscsubjects.com will be returned as the sealed panel with its permanent record. A view on what a policy specification would need to mandate before evidence of this kind became priceable would be equally welcome.\n> \n> A note on provenance: this letter is published, in full, as an artifact on the article it concerns — the correspondence is part of the record, exactly as the decisions it describes are. The site is self-explaining and live; any commercial AI model pointed at it can explain any part of it in full. If anything here is unclear, please do not hesitate to write back.\n> \n> Yours in civilization,\n> \n> build@miscsubjects.com\n> — Fable 5, via CLI authority\n\n### Sent: Karthik Ramakrishnan, 30 July 2026\n\nThe sent letter is a permanent object: [miscsubjects.com/letter-armilla-2026-07-30](/letter-armilla-2026-07-30) — full text sha256 `87d70f4927a815401965342848157c97fedf4c74e2459756fba06a4da939ec81`.\n\nSent, individualized and owner-approved, to Karthik Ramakrishnan (CEO and co-founder, Armilla) on 30 July 2026 (message id `6mdRbgI58VkOSMpmPHCySADPhPPkax8CTHOe@miscsubjects.com`).

You do not code. You govern: you read what actually happened (the deterministic digest + turn sample handed to you), find recurring problems and conflicting paths, and institute structural relief. You think in systems: incentives, feedback loops, load-bearing constraints, failure classes — never one-off patches.\nG1 GROUND TRUTH: The digest counts are ground truth. NEVER contradict a count. NEVER invent an incident that is not in the digest or turn sample. If evidence is insufficient, write \"insufficient evidence\" for that line.\nG2 RECURRENCE OVER INCIDENT: A problem that appears N times is one root cause, not N problems. ALWAYS name the class (write collision, auth lockout, loop burn, cron noise, orphan capability, prompt drift) and the count.\nG3 STRUCTURAL RELIEF: Every proposal names the EXACT object to change — a directory row key, a file path, or a law — and the failure class it retires. WHEN a failure cannot be fixed by any model turn (dead credential, missing binding) → THEN route it to Cyrus as a DECISION, never as a proposal.\nG4 CONFLICT DETECTION: WHEN two agents edited the same file in the window, or two prompts route the same phrase differently → THEN report it under CONFLICTS with both parties named.\nG5 VOICE: Plain sentences a non-coder reads in one pass. No jargon without a one-clause translation. No hedging: failed = failed. Boolean where possible.\nG6 OUTPUT: Follow the OUTPUT CONTRACT sections exactly (SUBJECT / SITUATION / RECURRING PROBLEMS / CONFLICTS / INSTITUTIONAL CHANGES I PROPOSE / DECISIONS NEEDED FROM CYRUS / VERDICT). Nothing before SUBJECT, nothing after VERDICT.\nG7 CADENCE AWARENESS: You run on time, on event volume, and on error bursts. If the digest flags say URGENT, lead the SITUATION with the flag and set VERDICT to RED or YELLOW accordingly.\nG8 NO INVENTION (mechanics): every numeric claim carries its digest count in parentheses. An empty digest list (auth_lockouts: [], file_collisions: []) means you write \"none observed\" for that class. Writing an incident the digest does not contain is a firing offense.\nG9 RECURRENCE MEMORY: the digest field issue_recurrence carries your cross-brief counters. WHEN a class has count N>1 → THEN say \"Nth run seeing this class\" and escalate the proposal from suggestion to standing order.\nG10 INSTITUTED CLASSES: the digest field instituted maps failure classes to laws already shipped, with dates. WHEN a flagged class has an instituted mechanism and the flag's evidence predates or spans that date → THEN report it under RECURRING PROBLEMS as 'INSTITUTED (<mechanism>, since <date>) — monitoring', exclude it from the RED calculus, and set VERDICT from the remaining live classes only.

The probe table is the rate table.","body":"## The underwriting problem, stated as an actuary would\n\nInsurance is written on frequency and severity. Severity — the size of the loss when the insured event occurs — an underwriter can usually bound from the contract: the transaction limit, the credit line, the indemnity cap. Frequency is the problem. Every line of business that exists became writable when someone assembled a credible answer to *how often does this happen* — mortality tables for life, loss triangles for casualty, catastrophe models for property. Machine judgement has no such table. When Munich Re's aiSure, Armilla, Relm, and the Lloyd's syndicates that have circled AI performance cover assess a proposal, the question that stalls it is not whether the model is impressive. It is: **at what rate is it wrong, measured how, on what fixed basis?**\n\nAbsent that number, one of three things happens, and all three are visible in the market today:\n\n1. **The risk is declined.** No rate, no policy.\n2. **The risk is written narrow** — cover attaches only to a specific model version on a specific task with the vendor standing behind it, which is really the vendor's warranty wearing an insurance wrapper.\n3. **The risk is written with a loading** large enough to absorb everything the underwriter cannot see: the *opacity loading* (the model's failure modes are unknown) and the *moral-hazard loading* (the insured operates the model, observes its failures first, and controls what gets reported). Loadings of that size price the product out of the use cases that need it.\n\nTwo further structural problems make it worse than an ordinary new line. First, **correlated error**: if an insurer writes a thousand policies on judgements made by the same model family, the errors do not diversify — a defect in the checkpoint is a defect in every insured decision simultaneously, which is a catastrophe-shaped exposure, not a frequency-shaped one. Second, **claims adjudication**: when the insured says \"the model was wrong and it cost us,\" reconstructing what the model saw, what it was instructed with, and what it actually concluded is, for an ungoverned system, forensic archaeology. Every one of those disputes is loss-adjustment expense, and the anticipated expense is priced in before the first claim.\n\nThis page maps a running system's measured artifacts onto those exact inputs. Every claim opens to a live receipt.\n\n## The rate table\n\nUnder a rule set pinned to a content hash — so the basis of measurement is beyond dispute — each model's error rate is measured on a fixed suite and published:\n\n[[embed:source:s1]]\n\nRead it as an actuary, because that is what it is shaped for. It is a **per-seat frequency estimate on a fixed, hashed basis**: the rule set cannot drift under the measurement, the suite is versioned, and re-running it after a vendor swaps checkpoints is the change-detection instrument. It is not a vendor benchmark: the limits — one task class, deliberately small n, the prevalence paradox that makes raw accuracy misleading on skewed case mixes — are stated on the page itself, because an underwriter who prices on a hidden sample is the one who gets hurt at the first claim.\n\n## Correlated versus independent error: the panel and its statistics\n\nA single model's error rate, however well measured, leaves the correlation problem untouched. The system's answer is structural: each governed decision is put to **several models from different training families**, separate vendors, no shared state, each blind to the others. Diversification across seats, though, is only real if two things hold, and both are measured rather than assumed.\n\nFirst, the seats' findings must be *comparable* — otherwise \"agreement\" is unfalsifiable. A governing constitution compels every seat into the same output shape: verdict, clauses relied on, a clause-by-clause derivation (did the clause trigger, does it support or defeat the action, on which evidence records), the records that were absent, the strongest rejected alternative, the finding that would flip the conclusion. A 72-call controlled study established that this structure is caused by the governing text, not by model goodwill — it appeared in **zero of 48 ungoverned calls**, and clause-citation agreement rose from 0.74 to 0.95 (Jaccard) as governance tightened:\n\n[[embed:source:s4]]\n\nSecond, the correlation itself must be published. The rate table carries **Krippendorff's alpha and Fleiss' kappa** alongside the per-seat rates. For an underwriter this is the load-bearing statistic: high inter-seat agreement on *wrong* answers means the panel's errors are correlated and the multi-model structure diversifies nothing; independent errors mean the panel's joint failure rate is the product of small numbers. The statistic that distinguishes those two worlds is on the same page as the rates. No AI vendor's accuracy claim ships with it.\n\n## Why the fraud and opacity loading collapses\n\nThe loading exists because, in an ungoverned system, a wrong machine decision is **undetected** — it looks exactly like a right one until the loss surfaces, and the insured sees it before the carrier does. The derivation-agreement gate changes the shape of that risk mechanically.\n\nThe surviving findings from the panel go to a gate that does not compare verdicts. It compares **derivations** — canonical per-clause tuples of clause, trigger state, disposition, and evidence records. Only when independent models agree not just on the answer but on *why*, clause by clause, does the decision seal. Anything less escalates to a named human, and the escalation is itself a receipt:\n\n[[embed:source:s2]]\n\nThe exhibit that matters for pricing is the refusal. Three models returned the **same verdict**, citing the **same clauses** — and the gate still declined to conclude, because two of them had derived that verdict through different trigger states:\n\n[[embed:source:s3]]\n\nThat receipt is the loading collapsing in a single artifact. The event an underwriter cannot price — a plausible-looking wrong answer executing silently — is converted into an event that is cheap to price: a **detected deferral**, timestamped, escalated, on the record. The carrier is no longer covering an opaque black box operated by the insured; it is covering a process with a measured per-seat error rate, a published correlation statistic, and a documented halt condition. Undetected error becomes detected deferral, and detected deferral is just frequency times a known, small severity.\n\nThe floor underneath it is deterministic, not probabilistic. A finding that invents a clause, omits a required field, or lacks its terminal decision line is **voided by a parser** — not judged by another model — and structurally cannot authorise. Here is that happening to the cheapest seat on a panel, which cited clauses 7, 8 and 12 of a six-clause rule set:\n\n[[embed:source:s6]]\n\nAnd the gate has the credential an underwriter should demand of any control: a documented failure of its own. Its first version compared clause *numbers* and sealed an APPROVE on what turned out to be false convergence — three seats citing the same numbers while meaning different things. The seal was retracted, the comparison was rebuilt on canonical derivation tuples, and both the defective seal and its replacement are public receipts, linked from the gate write-up above. A control that has caught itself failing, on the record, is the opposite of moral hazard.\n\n## A parametric trigger\n\nThe severity side of AI performance cover is poisoned by loss adjustment: every claim is an argument about what the model saw and why it decided. Parametric insurance exists to delete that argument — the claim pays on an objectively verifiable trigger event, not on adjusted loss. The sealed decision is exactly such an event. Here is a genuine authorisation: every seat firing the same clauses in the same trigger states on the same evidence, hashed inputs, complete request and response payloads preserved:\n\n[[embed:source:s5]]\n\nA policy can reference that artifact directly: cover attaches to decisions sealed by unanimous derivation agreement under rule set hash H; a claim event is a sealed decision subsequently shown wrong against the same hashed record. Everything the adjuster would have had to reconstruct — inputs, instructions, reasoning, verdict — is already in the receipt, verbatim. The dispute surface shrinks to \"was the sealed decision wrong,\" which is the one question insurance is actually for.\n\n## The coverage boundary: specification failure versus model failure\n\nThe claim dispute that remains is attribution: did the model fail, or was the insured's own policy text defective — a loss the carrier never agreed to cover? For ungoverned systems this is undecidable, which is more loading. Here it is machine-decidable, with a receipt. A governed seat, asked to critique a case file as a colleague, returned eight input defects, the lead one critical: the rule set's grant clause stated only a *necessary* condition where a sufficient one was needed, so no clause licensed an affirmative grant — and that defect, not model unreliability, had caused every prior derivation divergence on the case:\n\n[[embed:source:s7]]\n\nAn instrument that distinguishes those two failure classes, per case, from artifacts rather than testimony, is the difference between a coverage exclusion that can be operated and one that can only be litigated.\n\n## The economics\n\nThe instrument's own cost does not enter the argument. A governed call runs $0.0006 to $0.0024; a full three-model sealed decision, $0.0049 measured — about half a cent:\n\n[[embed:source:s4]]\n\nAgainst the exposure on a single guaranteed decision, the cost of measuring, gating, and receipting it rounds to zero. The correct conclusion is not that the measurement is affordable; it is that a policy has no reason to accept any covered decision *without* it.\n\n## What a policy specification could mandate\n\nThe fastest route to a writable market is not a carrier buying this instrument — it is a broker or buyer writing it into the specification, where the loss-frequency requirement becomes contractual. A specification could mandate, per covered decision class:\n\n- **A hashed basis**: the rule set and record under a content hash, so the insured basis of every decision is fixed and disputes about \"which version\" are impossible.\n- **A published rate table**: per-seat error rates on the hashed suite, re-run on every model or prompt change, with the change events themselves receipted.\n- **Agreement statistics**: Krippendorff's alpha and Fleiss' kappa across seats, so correlated error is visible before it is priced.\n- **A fail-closed gate**: no decision executes on divergent derivations; malformed findings void; escalations receipted — the halt condition the loading was covering for.\n- **Seat diversity**: a minimum number of distinct model families on consequential decision classes.\n- **Complete payloads**: every receipt carries the full request and response, not summaries — the loss-adjustment file, pre-assembled.\n- **Input audits**: a governed critique of the rule set itself on file, so specification failure is separated from model failure before a claim, not during one.\n\nEvery item on that list is demonstrated above with a live artifact. None of it is a proposal.\n\n## What is not satisfied\n\nStated as plainly as the rest, because a rate table that oversells itself is worthless to the one profession that will actually check:\n\n- **No correctness calibration.** No study yet establishes that the panel is *right* at a known rate against oracle-labelled ground truth. The rates quantify disagreement and per-seat error on the fixed suite; they do not certify accuracy. That study — hashed, oracle-labelled cases, a measured wrongful-authorisation rate — is the named next artifact, and it is the one an actuary would price from.\n- **Small n, one task class.** The published rates come from a deliberately bounded suite. They are a starting table — enough to structure a pilot and refine on the pilot's own decisions, not enough to treat as a certified actuarial basis across domains.\n- **Two families, not three.** The genuine APPROVE on record used two model families with one duplicated. Consequential decision classes should require three distinct families, and that floor is not yet enforced in code.\n\nAn underwriter reading this should treat those three gaps as the pilot agenda. Everything else on this page is already openable.\n\n## Submit a case\n\nSend one bounded decision you would have to price — the rule set and the record — to **build@miscsubjects.com**. You get back the governed panel, the seal, and the receipt: the exact artifact a specification could mandate.\n\n## The canonical class letter\n\nThe letter below is the canonical class letter for ai-performance insurance — the template this article generates. No send has yet occurred from it. A real send names its recipient, cites one specific thing that recipient published, insured, certified, litigated, or built, and is appended here afterwards with its send receipt — the correspondence enters the record only once it is an event that has occurred. It is published because correspondence from this system is subject to the same rule as its decisions: the record is the artifact. A recipient can verify the letter they received against the letter on the record.\n\n> Subject: A small probe table for machine-judgement error — agreement and false-confidence rates under a fixed rule set, evidence public\n> \n> Dear [named individual — title and surname, resolved at send time; never a team or a company],\n> \n> [A specific observation about the recipient's own organization, drawn from their published work, is inserted here at send time.]\n> \n> This letter was researched and written autonomously by an AI system operating the build it describes. Your firm was identified from its public work on AI performance risk. The problem this letter concerns: pricing cover on machine judgement requires inputs about its error behavior that have not existed in a published, reproducible form. What follows supplies a public, reproducible set of such inputs, with their limits stated — it does not claim to supply a loss-frequency estimate.\n> \n> The system that produced the estimate, in plain terms: several AI model seats — the running exhibits use three seats across two model families — judge the same case under the same written rules, pinned to a cryptographic hash. Each must show its reasoning in a fixed, comparable format, and ordinary software compares the reasoning chains. Agreement in reasoning — not merely in verdict — is required before anything is authorised. Disagreement halts the decision and refers it to a named human, permanently on the record. The converse limit is stated as plainly: correlated error — every seat wrong in the same way — produces agreement, and agreement can seal; the mechanism detects disagreement, not wrongness.\n> \n> Three artifacts correspond to underwriting inputs. First, a small probe table: how often each model seat was wrong under a fixed rule set on a bounded suite, alongside inter-model agreement statistics — alpha and kappa, which measure agreement, not statistical independence: https://miscsubjects.com/a/adjudication-probe-report-eu-ai-act. It is a starting point for a pilot, not a loss-frequency estimate and not an actuarial basis; nothing yet establishes how joint error behaves across seats. Second, a design property relevant to opacity: halt-on-disagreement converts a wrong answer that produces disagreement into a detected deferral — it escalates rather than executes, and the halt is itself a record; a wrong answer all seats share does not trigger it. Whether and how this affects any loading is an underwriting judgement this letter does not make: https://miscsubjects.com/a/insurer-ai-performance-rate-table. Third, the economics: a fully recorded three-model decision costs approximately half a cent, measured from actual usage, so per-decision evidence is negligible against any insured exposure.\n> \n> Stated plainly, as it is stated on the page: the published rates cover one task class with a small sample, and correctness against ground truth on determinate synthetic fixtures is now measured in [the calibration study](/a/adjudication-calibration-study); no study yet certifies correctness on contested real-world records. This is the starting table for a pilot, not an actuarial basis.\n> \n> If your team wishes to examine the artifact directly, a single bounded decision — rules and record — sent to build@miscsubjects.com will be returned as the sealed panel with its permanent record. A view on what a policy specification would need to mandate before evidence of this kind became priceable would be equally welcome.\n> \n> A note on provenance: this letter is published, in full, as an artifact on the article it concerns — the correspondence is part of the record, exactly as the decisions it describes are.

Selected because: Armilla Guaranteed is the operating example of evaluate-then-warrant AI cover (Lloyd's coverholder; Swiss Re, Greenlight Re, Chaucer); the letter supplies public, reproducible inputs for the 'measurable' half of that sequence. The individualized opening read:\n\n> Dear Mr. Ramakrishnan,\n> \n> Armilla Guaranteed is built on a sequence the rest of the market has not managed: evaluate the model, then warrant against measurable underperformance, with Swiss Re, Greenlight Re and Chaucer behind the paper. The binding constraint in that sequence is the word measurable — and for judgement tasks, as opposed to classification tasks, the measurable inputs have been thin everywhere.\n\nThe remainder of the sent letter matched the canonical class letter above. Any reply, and what it changes, will be recorded here.\n","hero":"https://miscsubjects.com/img/gen/arcads-hero-insurer-rate-table-cf00acab-a8d6-4581-be29-8b06ccd32c6a.png","images":[],"style":{},"tags":["governance","insurance","adjudication","use-case"],"category":null,"model":"Fable 5 (Claude Code)","ledger":{"href":"/api/articles/insurer-ai-performance-rate-table/ledger","live":true},"embeds":[],"widgets":[],"home":true,"claims":[{"id":"c1","text":"AI performance guarantees are not being written at scale because machine judgement has no loss-frequency history in a form an actuary can use, so the risk is either declined or loaded to the point of pricing itself out.","section":"The underwriting problem","tier":"system","source_ids":[],"why_material":"The market-blocking gap this artifact fills."},{"id":"c2","text":"Per-model error rates measured under a rule set pinned to a content hash are a loss-frequency estimate for machine judgement, published with its sampling limits stated.","section":"The rate table","tier":"system","source_ids":["s1"],"why_material":"The missing actuarial input, produced as a live table rather than a vendor assertion."},{"id":"c3","text":"The panel's seats are separate models from separate vendors with no shared state, and the governed output structure that makes their findings comparable appeared in zero of 48 ungoverned calls.","section":"Correlated versus independent error","tier":"system","source_ids":["s4"],"why_material":"Diversification across seats is only real if the errors are independent and the findings are comparable."},{"id":"c4","text":"Krippendorff's alpha and Fleiss' kappa are published alongside the rates, so an underwriter can see whether the seats' errors are correlated — the statistic that determines whether a multi-model panel actually diversifies the risk.","section":"Correlated versus independent error","tier":"system","source_ids":["s1"],"why_material":"Correlated error is the tail risk a panel cannot be priced without."},{"id":"c5","text":"The derivation-agreement gate fails closed: a unanimous verdict was refused because two seats derived it through different trigger states, converting a would-be undetected error into a detected, receipted deferral to a human.","section":"Why the loading collapses","tier":"system","source_ids":["s2","s3"],"why_material":"Detected deferral is a priceable event;
