IBNR Reserving

Development triangles that build themselves

Multiple IBNR methods run in parallel against each line of business, with credibility weighting, tail selections, and blend ratios locked to the run record.

Methods supported

The methods your team already uses

HyperCal implements the standard actuarial methods in a controlled, auditable environment.

Chain Ladder

Development factor method

Age-to-age factors calculated from historical triangles. Volume-weighted and simple average selections configurable per accident year range.

Bornhuetter-Ferguson

Expected loss blending

Blends experience-based development with a priori expected loss ratios. Particularly stable for immature accident years with limited data.

Cape Cod

Derived expected loss ratio

Estimates the expected loss ratio from the data itself rather than relying on an external a priori. Reduces sensitivity to prior period assumptions.

Frequency / Severity

Count and average severity splits

Develops claim counts and average severities separately. Useful for lines where frequency and severity trends diverge significantly.

Credibility Weighting

Method blending

Credibility-weighted blends of multiple methods configurable per LOB. Blend weights, minimum credibility thresholds, and fallback rules set per carrier.

Tail Selection

Curve fitting and judgment

Exponential, inverse power, and Weibull curve fits applied to select tail factors. Manual overrides permitted with mandatory rationale documentation.
