Insurance
A driving record, for AI.
Motor became priceable when verified telemetry existed. AI conduct has none, so when a loss arrives the only record of what the AI did is the defendant’s own logs. Regulayer™ is that missing record: content-free, tamper-evident, and verifiable by a party adverse to everyone involved.
Runs inside the insured’s environment. Its data does not leave it.
The problem
The AI liability line is being built without its raw material.
Every priced line began with a loss history. This one has none, so the market is pricing on model testing and on questionnaires, while exclusions are being written at the same time as the cover is being asked for.
The stop
The stop is now insured. Prove who pressed it.
Cover now pays when an insured suspends its own malfunctioning AI. At claim, the insurer asks when the AI drifted, who stopped it, whether they held the authority, and what ran afterwards. FailStop answers all four from one sealed record.
| The question at claim | From the FailStop record |
|---|---|
| When did the AI drift? | The first action outside the agreed authority, sealed as it happened. |
| Who stopped it, and when? | The named person who pulled the switch, to the moment. |
| Did they hold the authority? | Who held the authority, and who withdrew it, in the same sealed record. |
| What ran afterwards? | Every later request held, until a named person re-armed it. |
The halt and its proof are sealed together. Regulayer™ supplies the evidence; the insurer makes the determination.
The Witness, for insurers
Your book, as it happens.
A working demonstration of the carrier’s view. Open an insured, withdraw a person’s authority, check a claim against the record, and watch binds checked as they are issued. Sample insureds, sample actions.
| Insured | Sector | Actions today | Drift stops per 1,000 | Named person | Record |

Sample insureds, sample actions. The record shows who allowed each action and whether their authority held; the price stays the insurer’s.
What it takes
The technology stack to write AI insurance.
From the carrier’s seat, a control becomes evidence when nine requirements are met. Here is each one, and where Regulayer™ stands today.
The nine requirements come from Regulayer™ market research across carrier, standards and regulator sources. Regulayer™ supplies the evidence; the insurer makes the determination.
The cover line
The authority the insured agrees is the cover.
Named person by named person: which agent may do what, up to what limit. Inside that authority, the action is covered. Outside it, the action is stopped before it takes effect, excluded, or bought as additional cover that extends the authority and the premium together. Every record shows which side of the line each action fell, at the moment it happened.
What an underwriter prices on
AI risk, turned into rating variables.
Read from signed records, per insured and across a book. The models and the price stay the insurer’s.
| Rating variable | From the record | What it prices |
|---|---|---|
| Agreed authority | The cover line, named person by named person | Exposure: what is insured, and what is excluded or sold as additional cover |
| Actions taken | Every action counted, allowed or refused | The exposure base: rates per 1,000 actions |
| Drift rate | Drift stops per 1,000 actions, and the trend | Frequency: a leading sign before a loss, like hard braking in motor |
| Stopping distance | How long after authority is withdrawn an action can still take effect, and how many did | Severity: what can still happen after the person says stop |
| Value held | What refused actions would have moved | Severity: what the control kept from happening |
| Named-person coverage | Share of actions resting on a named person, not a service account or shared login | Quality of control |
| Wrong refusals and availability | Refusals later proved unnecessary; signed periods the control was unavailable | Business interruption caused by the control itself |
| Shared-failure exposure | Release, key custody, time source and dependencies of each control | Accumulation across a book |
| Proof of absence | A signed proof that no other approval existed at a given moment | Renewal and claims certainty |
Delegated authority
Every bind checked as it is issued, not sampled afterwards.
A coverholder, MGA or its software agent binds on the carrier’s paper under a binding authority: classes, territories, limits, expiry. Today that is checked after the fact, from bordereaux and a sample audit.
With Regulayer™, each binder, policy or certificate is checked against that named person’s current class, territory, limit and expiry as it is issued. Narrow or withdraw the authority, and the next bind outside it is refused and recorded. The carrier, its managing agent, a reinsurer or an auditor can verify every bind, not a sample.
At claim
Decided from the record, not reconstructed from memory.
The carrier’s view
Read the whole book, live.
With the insured’s agreement, the carrier reads the records at any time through the Witness: drift, stops, withdrawals and trends across its book, sliced by insured, sector, class, named person and period. The carrier builds nothing.
A carrier can make the control a condition of affirmative AI cover, or price better terms when it runs, the way telematics works in motor.
Two ways in
Start with the proof. Add the control.
The barrier to AI cover, as CSIS puts it, is that carriers cannot see “whether claimed risk controls actually exist.” The Witness shows them. Both run on the same sealed record. The insured holds the control. The carrier holds a read-only view, with the insured’s agreement, the way a driver agrees to a telematics box.
See what the AI did, live.
The insured runs Regulayer™, which seals every AI action as it happens. The carrier reads the book through the Witness: actions, drift, stops and trends, by insured, class and named person.
- Nothing in the insured’s operation changes.
- Every record verifies offline, by anyone.
- The first step for a carrier and a book.
Outside the agreed authority, stopped.
The insured sets the authority, named person by named person. An action outside it is stopped before it takes effect, and the record shows it. This is what makes the cover line hold.
- A condition of affirmative AI cover, or better terms.
- Drift is stopped before it takes effect.
- The basis for every rating variable above.
| The insured | The carrier | |
|---|---|---|
| Holds | The authority and the control, inside its own environment | A read-only view through the Witness |
| Agrees to | Share the sealed record with its carrier | Read it, and price on it |
| Sees | Its own actions and content | The conduct record, content-free |

The precedent
Cyber went through this first.
Early cyber policies took the insured’s word on controls, and the word turned out to be worth very little at claim. The market moved to evidence of controls as a condition of cover, and priced accordingly. AI has arrived at the same point without the equivalent evidence existing yet.
In Johnson v. Dunn the firm had an AI policy in place and its lawyers were sanctioned anyway. The policy was not the failure. The failure was that nothing existed to show whether it had been followed on the day.
Two sides of one market
For the carrier using AI, and the carrier covering it.
What a carrier gets.
The ask
Bring us a book, and we will show you the record behind it.
We are looking for underwriters and claims specialists in professional lines, cyber and technology E&O to answer one question: which fields of a conduct record would actually move an underwriting or a claims decision.
Nothing here asks you to trust us. Every artifact verifies offline, with no contact with us at all.
Regulayer™ supplies the evidence. The insurer reads the record and makes the determination. Any change to a sealed record fails verification.
