The premise

The layer Headless 360 doesn't touch.

Salesforce exposed data through APIs. Notch exposes operations — the layer where regulated industries actually live.

Salesforce / Headless 360

Data, exposed as APIs.

Records, queries, CRUD. The data layer becomes addressable.

GET /records/:id
Notch Lab / Headless Operations

Operations, exposed as APIs.

Full pipelines. Multiple models. Deterministic guardrails. Jurisdiction-aware rules. One endpoint.

About Notch Lab

A research and engineering division for regulated AI.

Notch Lab is the research and engineering division of Notch — the team that builds the infrastructure powering our managed insurance and FSI agents. For three years we've operated AI inside regulated workflows: over 20 million conversations processed, FNOL intakes triaged, ACORDs parsed, coverage decisions explained, claims routed under real auditor scrutiny.

The Lab exists for the engineering teams who want to build, not buy. Carriers, insurtechs, and FSI platforms tell us the same thing: the regulatory surface is too big to rebuild from scratch — ACORD parsers, 50-state DOI rule engines, audit trails, jurisdiction-aware decisioning — and too important to hand to a horizontal LLM. So we're shipping our pipelines as primitives. Same engine. Different surface.

Beyond pipelines, the Lab studies the frontiers of voice and agentic AI and publishes openly. Our goal: share what we learn from production — what makes a conversation work, what makes an agent decision auditable, what makes a regulated workflow ship — and give back to the broader community's understanding of regulated AI.

Research areas

The frontiers of voice and agentic AI.

We study what makes conversations work and what makes agent decisions defensible — then publish openly and contribute back to the broader community.

01 / Voice

Voice infrastructure

Building telephony systems that handle real-time voice interactions at scale — speech recognition, synthesis, sub-second latency, and audio quality through carrier-grade load.

ASR / TTS Latency < 800ms SIP / WebRTC Audio QoS
02 / Architecture

Agent architecture

Designing AI agents that reason, plan, and execute complex tasks — model orchestration, multi-agent systems, deterministic guardrails, and prompt-engineering approaches under regulated constraints.

Orchestration Multi-agent LLM-as-judge Guardrails
03 / Capabilities

Agent capabilities

Developing reusable skills for common scenarios: routing, authentication, knowledge retrieval, escalation, and integrations with core insurance and FSI back-end systems.

Routing Auth flows RAG Integrations
04 / Observability

Observability & optimization

Understanding agent behavior through analytics, simulations, and evaluations — then driving continuous improvement from real production data, not benchmarks.

Evals Simulations Drift detection Replay
We publish openly. Lab notes, technical write-ups, and shareable patterns from running AI in regulated production — released as we ship.
A new category

Same engine.
New surface.

The same pipelines that power our managed product — now available as primitives. Build with us, or build on us.

"Every insurance carrier is now an intelligence company, whether they planned for it or not - and Notch helps them understand what they already hold and turn it into faster, smarter, more defensible operations."
— Yuval Peled, CTO @ Notch
The endpoints

Five pipelines, going live.

Each call isn't a single LLM completion. It's a complete pipeline — multiple models, deterministic guardrails, jurisdiction-aware rules, full audit logging — behind one endpoint.

POST /v1/coverage/verify

Coverage decisioning with citations.

In
Policy doc + claim details.
Out
Decision — exclusions checked, endorsements resolved, lienholders identified, citable reasoning.
POST /v1/documents/ingest

ACORDs, loss runs, COIs, MSAs.

In
PDFs, forms, spreadsheets, scans.
Out
Typed, validated, structured data. Anomalies flagged.
POST /v1/submissions/triage

Broker submission, instantly assessed.

In
Broker submission packet.
Out
Appetite match, risk class, missing-info checklist.
POST /v1/claims/triage

Claim routing with reasoning.

In
Claim file.
Out
Severity, attorney involvement, smart routing, subrogation potential.
Inside one API call

A pipeline, not a completion.

Each request runs through multiple models, deterministic guardrails, jurisdiction-aware rules, and full audit logging — and returns a single typed response.

Request
POST /v1/fnol/intake

Multiple models

Specialized for transcription, extraction, classification, scoring.

Deterministic guardrails

Transaction limits, access caps, configurable per tenant.

Jurisdiction rules

50-state DOI, GDPR, FCA — applied as code, not judgment.

Typed output

Schema-validated, citable, ready for business logic.

Full audit trail attached to every response — record-keeping by default, not as an afterthought.
For every operator

Built for the four sides of the insurance stack.

Carriers, MGAs, brokers, and reinsurers all face the same operational tax. Notch Lab pipelines remove it — same engine, surface tuned per role.

Carriers

Standardize intake, expand capacity.

Move from inbox triage to underwriting-ready files in seconds. Same headcount, more throughput — with a defensible audit trail under every decision.

  • POST /v1/submissions/triage
  • POST /v1/coverage/verify
  • POST /v1/fnol/intake
MGAs

Scale binding authority with ease.

Bind faster without expanding ops. Appetite checks, document validation, and risk classification run as primitives — each decision encoded against your binding authority.

  • POST /v1/submissions/triage
  • POST /v1/documents/ingest
  • Authority matrix via Playbooks
Brokers

Submit complete files the first time.

Pre-flight every submission. The agent reads, checks, and fills the carrier-specific missing-info list before you press send. Fewer round-trips. Faster quotes.

  • POST /v1/documents/ingest
  • Completeness checks pre-send
  • Carrier-specific Playbooks
Reinsurers

Portfolio insight with clean data.

Bordereaux, loss runs, and cessions normalized into typed data on arrival. Real-time portfolio view, anomaly detection, and audit-grade lineage for every line.

  • POST /v1/documents/ingest
  • Anomaly & lineage hooks
  • Custom schemas via Playbooks

2 Your guidelines, not ours.

Every pipeline runs against your Playbook — underwriting appetite, claims SOPs, reserve policy, authority matrices, state-specific endorsement rules, fraud indicators. Upload once. Version like code.

The pipelines are shared infrastructure. The decisioning is your IP — and it stays your IP.

Carrier A
POST /v1/coverage/verify
playbook: carrier_a:v3
Covered. Endorsement E-204 applies. Lienholder must consent before settlement.
Carrier B
POST /v1/coverage/verify
playbook: carrier_b:v7
Excluded. Carrier B's appetite excludes vacant commercial property after 60 days.
Same endpoint. Same input. Different judgment — because the rules are yours.
