RATERECON / FIELD NOTE 0301—05

THE AUDIT UNDER A MICROSCOPE

Your audit has numbers.
We find the ones that don’t add up.

RateRecon reviews workers’ compensation policies, payroll, final audits, and supporting records to identify unexplained differences, organize evidence, and show what deserves a closer look.

SIGNATURE UI · EVIDENCE TRACE

Follow the value, not the story.

RateRecon connects the source document to the exact value, the comparison, the difference, and the state of verification.

WHAT SURFACED?

Findings stay specific.

Sample findings show how a review separates the observed difference from the conclusion that still needs proof.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Data should be the art.

Quiet tables make the important interruption obvious. No decorative finance imagery—just the values an analyst needs to inspect.

Compare totals, class codes, modifiers, and premiums.

03

What supports it?

Locate the exact page, row, cell, or document.

04

What needs proof?

Show blockers and verification states clearly.

05

What do we ask?

Export a professional report for the carrier or team.

VERIFICATION

Evidence first. Conclusions second.

Three lanes keep the review useful without overclaiming: document reconciliation, customer-recorded external verification, and permitted rule-assisted review.

01

Document reconciliation

Works from the records you provide. No regulatory rule pack required.

02

External rule verification

Restricted sources stay outside RateRecon and are recorded as customer verification.

03

Permitted rule-assisted review

Only terms-permitted sources are processed temporarily, then deleted.

REPORT PREVIEW

Evidence becomes an action list.

A finished review gives your team a clean handoff—not a dramatic conclusion.

Source trail, assumptions, missing evidence, and carrier questions stay together in the customer-safe report.

CLEAR BOUNDARIES

Precision without fake certainty.

Does RateRecon decide whether the carrier is wrong?

No. It identifies observed discrepancies, preserves the evidence trail, and shows what still requires qualified review.

Do I need an NCCI subscription?

No for document reconciliation. External NCCI checks stay outside RateRecon and are recorded as customer-supplied verification.

Can I use a customer rule document?

Only a permitted non-NCCI source with terms confirmation. It is tenant-isolated, processed temporarily, and deleted after analysis.

PRIVACY

Your audit data isn’t our training library.

Customer files remain tenant-isolated. Permitted temporary rule sources are not shared across customers and are deleted after processing according to policy.
