A year in your role
CH. 01
Every CIO at a modernizing P&C carrier carries the same four-quarter cadence. Upgrade. Integration. Regression panic. Board review. VeriQuant changes each one.
Q1
A major core-platform release lands. Your team needs to validate the entire policy lifecycle, rating engine, integrations, and UI across 14 states and 6 LOBs. Before VeriQuant, this was a six-month marathon. Now, your regression suite runs in 4.2 seconds.
Q2
Marketing announces a D2C auto portal. The rating that powers it has to be bulletproof from day one. You validate every edge case pre-launch, produce a CISO-ready audit trail, and ship on schedule. No whiteboard war room.
Q3
Procurement wants the $710K annual QA-tooling bill cut. You show them five contracts consolidated into one, $310K net savings, and a vendor Guidewire itself has chosen. Procurement’s quarterly win becomes yours.
Q4
“Modernization ROI” used to be a one-slide hand-wave. Now it’s three numbers you defend with confidence: leakage caught YTD, filing cycles compressed, vendors consolidated. You leave the boardroom early.
What you stop fighting
CH. 02
Five QA vendors. Four licensing renewals. Three incompatible reporting conventions. One VeriQuant covers API, UI, performance, and rating in one DSL — and retires the rest.
5 → 1 vendors · ~$310K net savings
Selenium scripts break on every core-platform release. VeriQuant is API-native and engine-agnostic — and the testing partner Guidewire itself chose. Upgrades stop being risk events.
0 rework on last 3 upgrade cycles
On-premise deployment by default. Rate IP, PII, premium data never leave your network. No cloud dependency. Your CISO sleeps. Your board approves.

The bigger platform
↗ Beyond rating
The 5→1 consolidation doesn’t stop at rating. The same engine underneath VeriQuant — Karate — and its self-hosted AI test runtime, Karate Agent, test the entire insurance estate: policy admin, claims, billing, the integrations between them, and the legacy you’ve grown through acquisition. One platform, one security posture, end-to-end.
One platform, the whole estate
Consolidation past rating
Policy admin, claims, billing, integrations, and acquired legacy systems — tested in the same low-code framework that retired your rating-QA sprawl.
Karate Agent, in your VPC
Self-hosted by design
A single-tenant Docker install behind your perimeter — your model, your keys, no data egress, no cloud dependency. Passes CISO review on the same terms as VeriQuant.
De-risk every upgrade
Across the board, not just rating
Your core platforms ship major releases on their own cadence; regression the whole estate through each one — API-native and engine-agnostic — so upgrades stay schedule events.
The same platform your pricing and QA teams already trust for rating — extended across the estate you own.
