For benefits brokers and the people who check their work

The documents, the numbers, and the rules, in one place that shows its work.

Four services, bought one at a time. Two are ready today. Two are being built with the brokers who will use them, and carry no price until they are.

Benefit grids

Choose this if your account team rebuilds plan comparison grids by hand every renewal.

The grids you already send, built from plan-design records, in a new format and legacy formats. Medical live; dental, vision and the other tabs ship with example data, labelled. Open them, change them, send them.

You get: a grid in minutes instead of an afternoon, plan-design fields only, the format version stamped on every file.

AV scenario tool

Choose this if you design or compare plans and need the actuarial value and tier you can defend.

Load a sealed plan block, change a copay or a deductible, and read the actuarial value and metal tier as you type. Pin variants side by side. Export sealed blocks and design files. A labelled rule-of-thumb premium sits beside the AV, never in front of it.

You get: an engine that reproduces the federal calculator bit for bit, and a sealed record of every design you priced.

Underwriting and IBNR

Choose this if you advise self-funded groups and want the reserve and renewal position before the carrier sends theirs.

Lag-triangle IBNR, runout, twelve-versus-twelve performance and plan-year forecasts, from the claims data the reports already read. Design partners re-run one triangle against a known result before anyone is billed.

You get: a method note with every figure, and nothing called a reserve opinion.

Waiting list · no price yet

Regulatory retrieval

Choose this if you answer compliance questions and want the primary source in front of you first.

Pin a jurisdiction and a plan type, ask about a rule, and get the quoted state and federal text with section, effective date and retrieval time. No conclusions. A separate column lists how other broker sites read the same rule, dated and unmerged.

You get: the source itself, and a record of what you relied on; the reliance stays yours.

Join the waiting list

Not sure which? Account managers start with the grids. Plan designers start with the AV scenario tool. Everyone else tells us the job in the contact box and we point you at one of the two.

Silver State Benefits Observatory

A research desk for the questions between benefits, policy and real people. Ask a Nevada benefits question, set the client lens (funding arrangement, employer size, market) and follow the evidence trail to its official starting points. A companion reads the answer aloud if you let it.

Demo data throughout: the answers, the watchlist and the sources are illustrative, not verified. Nothing you type leaves your browser; listening is simulated and speech uses your browser’s own voice.

Staff with a login also have the live voice stage (a microphone conversation with the companion, on its own gated address); its link appears below after sign in.

Pilot · demo data · no price

Find the signal. Follow the evidence.

Choose this if you answer Nevada benefits questions and want to see how a research companion would show its work.

Three prepared questions, a fictional legislative horizon, a source atlas of official destinations, and a companion that listens (simulated) and speaks (your browser’s voice). Reduce motion if you prefer.

You get: a working picture of the regulatory retrieval desk before it exists, and nothing called advice.

Pricing, per firm, per year

simulated for review, not an offer · up to five named seats included · a sixth seat by quote
Benefit grids $900 about a fifth of the grid hours it replaces, by our estimate
AV scenario tool $2,400 standalone; the federal calculator is free, the sealed record is not
Both together $3,000 grids and the scenario tool for one firm

Underwriting and IBNR, and regulatory retrieval, carry no price until they exist for the people building them with us.
