Small and medium-sized insurance companies, and many large insurance companies in Asia lack this data, and some attempts and deploying these systems have met with resistance from the business-side since they could not understand the output from these systems.

InsuPector was designed to allow claims experts to customize and extend the business rules so that new products and fraud cases can be easily added.
