Independent calculation validation for insurance, payroll and tax

Every number looks right. Which ones are?

A premium. A net pay. A tax due. VeriQuant computes each one independently from your approved rates, tables and rules, and grades what your system produced against it, on every case, to the cent. When the two part ways, it names the step.

Guidewire’s first testing technology partner Built on Karate, used across the Fortune 500 Runs inside your network. Nothing calls home.

The problem

A wrong number never throws an error.

A mis-keyed factor. A deviation that stopped applying. A wage base from last year. A bracket that moved in October. Your system still returns a plausible figure, so the error surfaces late: as leakage nobody measured, a refund with interest, a corrected W-2 run, an amended return. Spreadsheet macros and a few dozen hand-picked scenarios only catch the cases someone thought of.

Insurance · from the public record

$4M+

refunded by one carrier, with interest, on fewer than 400 policies, after it found its own rating error.

Most of those policyholders had already left.

State insurance department consent order, 2026. The carrier is not named here.

What VeriQuant does

One bar answers the four questions that follow.

Every case is a match, or a mismatch that names the first step where the two calculations part ways. Anything unexplained stays open. Never counted as passed.

In force

Does the system apply the rules in force for the right effective date?

Rows

After a change, did only the intended rows move?

Already run

What has already gone wrong on the cases you have already processed?

Platform

When you move platforms, does the number hold?

How it works

Three industries

Three plausible numbers. Three stale tables.

The same check on a premium, a net pay and a tax due. Each case below is a mismatch, and each names the first step where the system and VeriQuant part ways.

Another industry with calculations this complex? Pricing, commissions, benefits, lending. We build the rulebook during your evaluation.

For your role in insurance

The same check. Three jobs done.

Proof

The bar isn’t ours. A carrier wrote it.

A large commercial carrier wrote it into its own acceptance criteria: the simulator’s premium must equal the policy system’s premium, on every case, to the cent. It is the bar we are measured against today, and the same bar applies to a pay period or a return. You can open a public example report built the same way.

The next step

Bring us the calculation you worry about most.

A rate revision. A January table load. A bracket that moved. An edge case nobody trusts. In 45 minutes, a senior member of our team walks whoever owns your rules, your Head of QA and your CIO through how the check is built for that case, and how your team runs the comparison in your own non-production environment, exactly as you test today.

  • The three flows on your case: set-up, the change, the back-test
  • A live run of the private demo, on synthetic data, with a stale table to find
  • A scoped build for one line of business, pay group or form, then an evaluation on your own rules
