Insurance & Actuarial Consulting

Actuarial consulting, rebuilt around AI.

Traditional actuarial depth — IFRS 17, SAM, Embedded Value — delivered by a team that also builds the AI platform doing the heavy lifting. We rebuild the actuarial factory, and we stand on the floor while you do it.

The shift

From a quarterly batch to something continuous.

AI changes what the actuarial function is. The work no longer has to run as an expensive, periodic batch — truth produced all at once, on a calendar. It can run continuously: the book watching its own experience and surfacing the correction the day reality diverges.

We're the firm that does the rebuild — and stays on the floor while your team and your models become something new.

The periodic way

You discover a drift six months late, scramble to re-forecast by hand, and explain the surprise to the CFO.

The continuous way

An alert fires the day the drift becomes real. You review the cause, approve, and the updated forecasts are on your desk by morning.

What we do

Four ways we work — one deep bench behind them.

The bread-and-butter actuarial work you'd expect from a senior firm, plus three AI-native capabilities that run inside your own boundary. We are not just an AI shop — we are an actuarial firm that builds AI.

Pillar 01 · the deep bench

Actuarial consulting — the traditional work, done properly.

IFRS 17, SAM (capital & ORSA), Embedded Value, reserving and IBNR, product pricing, and capital strategy — across both life and non-life. Led by an FIA with twenty years across every function of an insurance business. This is real, available-now, bread-and-butter work: the deep bench you'd hire any senior actuarial firm for.

How we work · how you start

The low-risk on-ramp.

You don't reorganise first. You don't bet the book. You run one machine the new way, next to the old one, and let the evidence do the convincing.

Map

We map the function as it runs today — the work, the gates, the people, and the numbers that matter.

One cell in shadow

We stand up a single cell the new way, running alongside the old one on real data — producing real numbers, no disruption.

Promote on a gate

It goes live only when it clears a bar you define. Your gate, your sign-off — never ours.

Scale at your pace

Then you replicate the proven pattern across the rest of the function, one machine at a time.

“Run one machine the new way, next to the old one, until everyone trusts it more.”

Why i²

Built for a regulated, sceptical room.

Private by default

In-tenant and sovereign. Your data never leaves your boundary.

Deterministic numbers

AI explains and accelerates. It never invents a figure.

Level 1 B-BBEE

The highest procurement recognition, built in.

Actuaries who build AI

We speak both languages — the model and the machine.

We build it AND guide it

Not a tool vendor, not a body-shop. On the floor, through every gate.

The team

Actuaries who decided to rebuild it themselves.

Small, senior, and on the floor with you. The two people who set the conviction behind the rebuild — and who do the work.

Ryno van den Berg

FIA, C.Act · Co-founder

Twenty years across every function of an insurance business — pricing, valuation, reporting and risk. The deep bench behind the traditional consulting, and the one on the floor with your team through every gate.

Samantha Pillay

Qualified actuary · Co-founder

Analytics and customer intelligence — the discipline of finding the one number that was overlooked, and the human grounding of why the savings should reach the policyholder.

The belief

AI for protection, not extraction. When the hard things become cheap and fast, the savings don't have to vanish into margin — they can reach the person buying the cover. We're building the instrument that lets insurance be what it was supposed to be.

Let's talk about your actuarial function.

One conversation is enough to see whether we're the right firm — whether you need the traditional bench, the platform, or just a clean way through the mess you already have. No deck required.
