How ForMotiv works: behavioral data for insurers

Finally, an orthogonal 1st party dataset.

ForMotiv runs inside the digital journeys you already have. It turns how people complete each application, chat and claim into features, signals and scores, and returns them to your systems in milliseconds.

Platform overview

What happens between a keystroke and a decision

The same pipeline runs on every quote, login, policy change, chat and claim. Each step has a clear output your teams can see and use.

01

Capture

A lightweight tag or SDK observes how each field and turn is completed.

cadence, pauses, edits, paste

navigation and backtracking

device, automation markers, network

Output · raw events
02

Understand

Raw events become insurance-specific behavioral features.

familiarity with identity details

time spent on prior-loss questions

edits after the quote on rating fields

Output · features
03

Predict

Signals and models score intent, risk and automation for each session.

human, AI-assisted or automated

purchase-intent and leakage scores

named signals like Rate Evasion

04

Act

Your systems receive results in real time and choose the path.

Integration

ForMotiv plugs into the systems that already make your decisions.

Drop ForMotiv into your journeys with a tag or SDK. Results flow to the systems that already make your decisions, so nothing about how you quote, bind or pay has to change.

ForMotiv platform

Session and agent explorers for your teams to review cases, trends and exports.

Built for insurance IT

What will IT and security ask first?

Integration, performance, privacy and compliance, answered before the first call.

Integration Tag and SDKs

A JavaScript tag for web forms and agent portals, plus mobile SDKs and the Chat Solution. Integration in weeks, not quarters.

Performance No page impact

Collection runs asynchronously, with little to no effect on how fast your pages load or respond.

Delivery API or batch

Real-time API responses in milliseconds, or batch files for analytics and model training.

Privacy Zero PII

ForMotiv captures behavior, not identity. No personal information is collected, stored or transmitted.

Transparency Glass-box outputs

Every signal comes with the reasons behind it, so decisions can be explained to underwriters, investigators and regulators.

Behavioral data & analytics

Flexible data

Use ForMotiv data the way your team already works

Feed it into your own models, act on our signals and predictions, or switch on a ready-made solution. Start with one and mix them as your needs change.

01

DataPacks

Behavioral features for the models you already run

An aggregation of behavioral features that are most predictive for a given model. Running your own conversion, loss or fraud model? Ensemble real-time Behavioral DataPacks to improve model performance.

Who uses itData science teams add DataPacks to the models they already run.

02

Signals

ForMotiv’s Behavioral Rules engine

Out-of-the-box or configurable behavioral rules that you can report on or act on from day one.

Who uses itSIU and underwriting use signals to route and explain a case.

03

Models

MLOps platform enables carriers to quickly deploy and consume behavioral models

Actionable real-time models that predict the likelihood of a certain outcome, i.e., likelihood to purchase, file an early claim, churn, and more.

Who uses itFraud, growth and underwriting teams act on these reads in real time.

04

Solutions

Ready-made for a team and a workflow

Signals, models and workflow actions packaged for a specific job, such as fraud and SIU, underwriting, growth, distribution or claims.

Who uses itBusiness teams that want results without building anything themselves.

Glass box

Follow one application’s edits all the way to your rating engine

An applicant reworks rating answers, some before a price appears and some after. Here is what ForMotiv captures and which signals fire.

Behavior Rating answers reworked

Removes driver and deletes prior violation.

Feature Edits to rating fields edits.driver_removed · deletions.prior_violations · …
Signal Weighed together behavior, device and session history
Result 2 high-risk signals fired Undisclosed Driver · Violation Scrub

Why the flag fired is part of the answer

Your rating engine gets a result it can act on in milliseconds. Your underwriter sees the behaviors that fired it. Your growth team gets a purchase-intent score for the same session. Your data scientists get the features underneath.

ForMotiv Console

How fraud, SIU, underwriting and digital teams use the Console day to day

Real-time decisions happen in your systems. Behind them, teams open the ForMotiv Console to investigate sessions, monitor agents and agencies, and watch trends, then export what they find.

Fraud

Spot a compromised policy before the claim is paid

Fraud analysts see when a policyholder portal login doesn’t behave like the policyholder: a new device and network, unfamiliar navigation, then straight to payment and payout details. They search across sessions by network and identifier to find every other policy the same actor touched, whether it’s one operator or a coordinated ring.

  • Search by policy number, masked IP, ASN, product, state or traffic source
  • See behaviors like Account Takeover and Fraud Rings flagged on the session
  • Count browsers, locations, ASNs, IPs and time zones in one view

Session details for one ForMotiv session: 9 active days, 188 screen hits, 412 field engagements, 7 signals, a Ghost Broker behavior flag, a quote number log and browsers and locations.

Common questions

How does ForMotiv work?

ForMotiv captures behavioral data as a person interacts with a digital form, turns it into hundreds of behavioral features, evaluates signals and models against them, and returns results in milliseconds. Carriers act on those results in the session and analyze them later in the ForMotiv Console.

What are ForMotiv signals?

Signals are out-of-the-box behavioral rules set up from ForMotiv's insurance industry expertise, covering fraud and underwriting risk. Carriers can configure them, and ForMotiv keeps refining them with customer feedback and outcome data.

What is a ForMotiv DataPack?

A DataPack is the set of ForMotiv's behavioral features that are most predictive for a given model or use case. Data science teams add a DataPack to their own conversion, pricing, retention or loss models by real-time API or batch.

What is the ForMotiv Console?

The ForMotiv Console is the offline workspace where fraud, product, SIU and underwriting teams review sessions, compare behaviors against baselines, rank agents and agencies, and investigate cases.

Are ForMotiv results explainable?

Yes. Every result arrives with the behaviors behind it, described in plain language, so a referral or decision can be explained to an underwriter, an agent, an investigator or a regulator.

How fast are ForMotiv results?

Results are returned in milliseconds, fast enough to change what happens on the next screen of an application or claim.

Your applications already know more than they say.
