01
What happened?
Build a clear, usable picture of the loss, claim history and insurer position.
Approach
The Claims-Lab Method
A disciplined way to test whether a commercial claim is ready, supported, valuable and suitable for deeper engagement.
An introduction to Claims-Lab
A clearer way forward for complex claims.
Watch this short introduction to see how Claims-Lab brings commercial judgement and evidence-led structure to claims that have become difficult, delayed or unclear.
The Claims-Lab decision gates
A visible route through a difficult claim.
Claims-Lab turns a complex claim into three practical questions: what happened, what holds up and what should happen next.
02
What holds up?
Test what the policy, documents and evidence support — and what needs more work.
03
What should we do?
Choose the most commercially sensible next move: clarify, negotiate, escalate or step back.
The Claims-Lab method
A practical lab process for claims under pressure.
Scientific enough to be disciplined. Human enough to be useful when a business owner is under stress.
1
Diagnose
Clarify claim type, insurer position, status, value, documents and urgency.
2
Assemble
Collect policy material, correspondence, reports, photos, quotes, invoices and calculations.
3
Assess
Score readiness, evidence strength, commercial value, complexity and fit.
4
Act
Recommend a grounded next step: proceed, refine, escalate, negotiate or pause.
Customer journey
From first inquiry to a structured readiness review.
Step 1
General Inquiry
The client explains the claim at a high level and requests a consult.
Step 2
Initial consult
Claims-Lab quickly tests whether the matter may be worth exploring further.
Step 3
Private readiness portal
Pre-qualified clients receive a private link to provide structured claim information and documents.
Step 4
Decision and next step
Claims-Lab decides whether to quote, request more information, accept the matter or decline it.
Operating promise
Scientific, but not cold. Commercial, but not careless.
Claims-Lab should feel like a structured assessment room for complex claims: calm, evidence-led and practical. The tone should help clients feel less lost without pretending the claim is simple.
Evidence first
The work starts with documents, dates, amounts, correspondence and proof rather than assumptions.
Commercial judgement
The best next step may be to pursue, refine, negotiate, escalate or stop. The economics matter.
Clear decisions
Clients should know what is strong, what is weak, what is missing and what John recommends next.
Readiness pathway
The private portal is a filter, not a formality.
After the first consult, the Client Readiness Portal gives John a structured view of the matter before committing meaningful time or resources.
1
Client profile
Who the client is, what business is affected and how urgent the issue is.
2
Claim snapshot
Claim type, status, insurer, broker, policy details, amounts and dates.
3
Evidence package
Policy documents, correspondence, reports, photos, quotes, invoices and calculations.
4
Review decision
A readiness score, risk flags and John review determine whether Claims-Lab proceeds.
Values
How Claims-Lab should behave.
Clarity under pressure
Business owners often arrive stressed, frustrated or confused. The site and process should make the next step easier to understand.
Evidence over volume
More documents are not automatically better. The useful question is which evidence proves what.
Commercial honesty
A claim can be emotionally important and still not be commercially sensible to pursue.
No false certainty
Claims-Lab can improve structure and strategy. It should not promise insurer decisions, legal outcomes or guaranteed payments.
Ready to test whether the claim is worth exploring?
Start with a short General Inquiry and John can decide whether to invite the client into the private readiness pathway.
