A leading specialist insurer transformed their opaque calculation engine into a transparent, explorable platform using xflow's digital twin capabilities.

The Challenge

At the heart of a leading specialist insurer's operations sat a powerful calculation engine processing every critical number across actuarial, finance, and regulatory reporting. Despite its mission-critical status, the platform remained fundamentally opaque with business rules buried in code and data transformations happening in darkness.

Our Solution

xflow enabled a fundamentally different approach - creating a digital twin that made the platform's inner workings transparent. This living representation evolved with the platform itself, cataloging every calculation with full business context, complete data lineage at cell-level, business rules in natural language alongside technical implementation, and visual process flows accessible to all stakeholders.

Key Features

The Outcome

The transformation was immediate. The platform became explorable, business teams could analyze production issues without engineering support, and engineers could explain change impacts visually and immediately. The digital twin didn't just document the platform - it democratized understanding of it.

Key Results

  • Accelerated Development: Engineers spend less time deciphering existing logic

  • Proactive Support: Support teams investigate issues independently

  • Audit Efficiency: Comprehensive documentation replaced weeks of manual explanation

  • Risk Reduction: Change impacts visible before implementation
