Our Services

Providing best-in-class actuarial science and data science solutions

  • While your organization might not need a full-time staff actuary, perhaps you’d like an actuarial teammate on a part-time basis (e.g., 4 hours weekly) to provide strategic guidance and review actuarial workproducts. Reach out to discuss this option with us!

  • We have 20+ years of experience in reserving and pricing for a wide variety of organizations and will tailor all projects to the needs of your organization.

  • If you’ve never done a formal capital adequacy assessment or it’s time for a refresh, we would love to work with you on this partner with you. We have experience building tailor-made capital models from the ground up and helping organizations fully implement the results from this modeling into all of their business decision-making processes.

  • Chris has spoken to a wide variety of audiences from dozens of varied organizations, including presenting educational workshops to boards and staff. Chris is known for a distinctive and humorous style that is engaging, hands-on, and interactive.

  • We have experience working at all stages of the captive formation process, from the very earliest stage of idea inception/feasibility, to working with all key owners/stakeholders to gain consensus for the venture, and, finally, getting it approved by regulators.

  • We will use actuarial rigor and the latest data science methods to create and implement predictive models. Two examples:

    ● We can “score” all workers compensation claims based on each one’s risk of becoming a high-cost claim.

    ● We can also use predictive models to refine liability or workers compensation prices across a portfolio and potentially identify the risks that may have been historically under- or over-priced, using all available data fields.

  • Three Lions can build a business intelligence solution like DOMO, Power BI, or even a custom analytical application on the web that is tuned explicitly to your needs across all key functional areas (underwriting, claims, financial, actuarial, etc.) of your organization.

  • Repeated manual processes can take extra time, require periodic re-training, and create opportunities for mistakes. Three Lions will set up automated processes and checks to free up your staff’s valuable time and mitigate risk. Here are some examples that our team members have done for organizations in the past:

    ● Convert a manual monthly data process with multiple steps into one that runs in a single-button click and provides standardized output for easy review.

    ● Create many custom reports, all in the same format but each customized to the specific recipient.
