A 5-minute self-assessment for AI initiatives in regulated workflows.
In the AI era you can build almost anything, but speed doesn’t guarantee you’re building the right thing, the right way. Use this check to pressure-test where one initiative really stands before you commit to build, buy, or partner.
Pick one initiative you’re weighing: a claims step, an underwriting workflow, a servicing capability.
For each question, drag the slider to where you honestly land. Left leans Build, right leans Buy, the middle is Blend / Partner.
At the end, see what your pattern suggests and find the better questions to ask next.
Read each row like a slider. The further left you sit, the more it points to Build; the further right, the more it points to Buy. Land in the middle and you’re in Blend / Partner territory, where most regulated AI initiatives end up.
Just a few honest ticks in the green middle like fuzzy workflows, limited capacity, high stakes, security that has to be right from day one; and you’re already in partner territory.
Read the direction your ticks lean. Your live read above highlights the closest pattern.
A core differentiator built on your own data, control, and clarity.
Fuzzy workflows, limited capacity, high stakes, security that has to be right from day one.
Commodity, standard workflows where standard vendor compliance suffices.
Most teams need a blend and someone who can help them decide what to build, what to buy, and how to get it right from day one. You need a partner who can help you make the right decision. We can help you explore what’s best for you.

As builders and strategic partners, we help insurers and insurtechs ship the right thing with security and compliance from day one. GBH shared the “Build, Buy, or Partner? Making the Right Innovation Bet” panel with leaders from Hippo, NFP, Liberty Mutual Ventures, and Selective Insurance.
