The Portage Approach

Not a generic AI model. Yours.

Built on your data, your documents, your workflows.

The documents behind specialty & life (re)insurance, private credit, and commercial real estate are complex. Generic LLMs are trained on the internet — not your business — and it shows. Portage AI eliminates manual data bottlenecks by selecting the right model for your use case, training it on your actual data, and deploying it with industry experts who review every exception. Accuracy guaranteed in writing, before we begin.

Your data stays yours.

We select the right model architecture for your use case and train it on your documents and workflows. The result is a proprietary AI asset that belongs to you, improves over time, and performs at a level off-the-shelf tools cannot match.

Accuracy guaranteed. In writing.

We commit to a specific accuracy target before we begin, and we sign it. Transparency and accountability are core to how we believe AI should be deployed. It is a commercial commitment grounded in our values, not a marketing claim.

Fits how you work.

Portage AI connects to your existing systems via API. Solutions are deployed on-premises, in your cloud, or hosted by us. Most clients are live within 10–15 weeks, with measurable results from day one.

Solutions

Automating processes that have always been too complex to tackle.

Purpose-built for specialty and life (re)insurance, private credit, and commercial real estate. Our solutions are a starting point. We shape every engagement around your specific workflow.

Specialty (Re)Insurance

Faster submissions to more accurate bordereaux.

Our models are trained on specialty insurance formats and tuned on your data, for accuracy a syndicate can rely on at a speed no BPO can match. From slip ingestion to bordereaux reconciliation, we automate the entire data lifecycle.

  • Pricing submission slip structuring pre-bind
  • Binder analysis and coverholder data management at inception
  • Bordereaux standardisation post-bind
  • Binder reconciliation each cycle
Life (Re)Insurance

Complex insurance data, structured and ready.

Policy and treaty administration, asset, financial and actuarial data from legacy or acquired books, automated at scale. Built on the founders' direct experience leading one of the most complex life insurance digital transformations in recent history.

  • Policy data extraction, system ingestion, and quality assurance
  • Closed-book and acquired-portfolio migration
  • Multi-jurisdiction, multi-system processing
  • Treaty financial settlements, backoffice processing, and workflow management
Private Credit

Never miss a covenant. Never wait on a loan doc.

Private credit portfolios generate enormous volumes of complex documentation. We automate loan document ingestion and covenant extraction, turning weeks of manual review into structured, audit-ready data your team can act on immediately.

  • Loan document ingestion in hours, not weeks
  • Covenant terms extracted and tracked automatically
  • Early-warning alerts before breach events occur
  • Structured output ready for your portfolio management system
Commercial Real Estate

Capture every recoverable CAM expense.

CAM reconciliation was costing our first client weeks of manual effort every year, driving errors, tenant disputes, and a constant tax on time and trust. Now an AI pipeline reads each executed lease, extracts every CAM term, maps it to the chart of accounts, and delivers audit-ready data. Operations move from data entry to oversight.

  • Lease abstraction at scale
  • CAM terms extracted and mapped to chart of accounts
  • Audit-ready output that resolves tenant disputes before they escalate
  • 80% reduction in processing time
Lloyd's Syndicate

Built for the London market. Ready for the world.

Our London-based team brings deep expertise in submission workflows, bordereaux processing, and the operational complexity of specialty insurance.

We enable underwriters to respond to the market faster with the accuracy their portfolios demand.

What we automate

  • Slip and SOV data extraction for pricing
  • Bordereaux processing and reconciliation
  • Coverholder and binder data management
  • Cat model-ready structured output
"Our partnership with Portage has enabled us to solve our pricing bottleneck process resulting in improved quote times. Portage's platform, and collaboration, has contributed to our digital transformation strategy and deployment of an end-to-end automated submission-to-quote workflow."
