RTL-Q — best estimate of loss reserves and the IFRS 17 risk adjustment

RTL-Q guides the actuary along the whole reserving path: data, segmentation, actuarial methods, loss reserve, risk adjustment, summary. Every number drills down to its formula, and every decision goes into a journal with a data fingerprint.

What the product includes

19
actuarial methods
Chain ladder, Bornhuetter–Ferguson, Cape Cod, Benktander, Credibility, Barnett–Zehnwirth, Fisher–Lange, separation method, FS methods, Tweedie GLM, Clark — with built-in help and applicability diagnostics.
9
risk adjustment methods
Mack, Merz–Wüthrich, Bornhuetter–Ferguson, ODP bootstrap, residual and pairwise bootstrap, Tweedie GLM, Clark curves (LDF and Cape Cod) — distributions, quantiles and standard errors for every segment.
6 formulas × windows
ways to calibrate development factors
Volume-weighted, simple and geometric averages, median, regression, power — with any window, smoothing and manual values; a map of all variants; three tail-factor curves — inverse power, Weibull and Bondy; Munich chain ladder and RBNS-based calibration.
2
calculation bases
Paid and incurred losses with a comparison of results and a recommendation by mature periods; a method choice for every accident period.
3
levels of diagnostics
Mack tests, residual analysis, a back-test on a held-out diagonal — with step-by-step calculation, methodology and recommendations applied with one click.
4
views of results analytics
Reserve summary by segments and accounting groups, loss ratio dynamics, reserve dynamics and run-off — a retrospective check of past estimates.
IFRS 17
Built into the overall IFRS 17 reporting process
Best estimate of the liability for incurred claims (LIC), risk adjustment, liability for remaining coverage (LRC) and discounting — in one loop with common segments and accounting groups. The result is a full report in Excel and Word, the actuary's decision journal and locked calculations for audit.
TransparencyFormula mode: click any cell to see its formula with numbers and all of its sources.
AssistantsThe advisor points at weak spots in the setup; the AI chat answers using the model's data.
Your own dataCSV or Excel: claim registers are mapped by columns, triangles are loaded from a workbook.
ControlLocked calculations, a decision journal with a data fingerprint, estimate history and run-off.

The reserving pathScreens of the product in calculation order — from data to summary

1 / 19
Data
1. DataRegisters of payments, RBNS, subrogation, direct claims settlement and premiums become triangles: amounts, counts, averages; cumulative and incremental; any granularity.
Segmentation
2. SegmentationThe portfolio is split into segments by accounting groups, products, regions and amounts — with an integrity check.
Actuarial methods
3. Actuarial methods19 methods in four groups with built-in help: when a method applies and what it is sensitive to.
Loss reserve: parameters
4. Loss reserve: parametersFor every development step — averaging formula, window, smoothing, manual value; tail by three curves: inverse power, Weibull, Bondy.
Factor charts
5. Factor chartsIndividual factors by period, the selected vector, Munich chain ladder and RBNS-based calibration.
Variant map
6. Variant mapAll “formula × window” variants on one map — a variant is applied with a click.
Method visualisation
7. Method visualisationThe completed rectangle, metrics by period and formula mode: every number drills down to its sources.
Method breakdown with formulas
8. Method breakdown with formulasStep-by-step calculation of Barnett–Zehnwirth, Fisher–Lange and the separation method — with residual charts.
Choosing between methods
9. Choosing between methodsEach accident period gets its own method; diagnostic recommendations are applied with one click.
Method comparison
10. Method comparisonResults of all methods side by side; methods unavailable on this data — with the reason.
Diagnostics
11. DiagnosticsMack tests, residuals, a back-test on a held-out diagonal — with step-by-step calculation and methodology.
Paid vs incurred
12. Paid vs incurredTwo calculation bases, a comparison of results and a recommendation by mature periods.
Risk adjustment: parameters
13. Risk adjustment: parametersAnalytical, simulation and parametric methods: Mack, Merz–Wüthrich, bootstrap, Tweedie GLM.
Risk adjustment: details
14. Risk adjustment: detailsDistributions, quantiles and standard errors for every method and segment.
Risk adjustment summary
15. Risk adjustment summaryApplicable methods side by side; the selected one goes to the reserve summary.
Reserve summary
16. Reserve summaryDevelopment forecast, reserve, IBNR, risk adjustment, subrogation and direct claims settlement by segments and accounting groups; a full report in Excel and Word.
Loss ratio dynamics
17. Loss ratio dynamicsEarned premium, ultimate loss and loss ratio by valuation dates, segment comparison.
Reserve dynamics
18. Reserve dynamicsHow incurred loss, reserve and IBNR changed over time by segment.
Run-off
19. Run-offRetrospective re-estimation of the forecast: past estimates against actual development.
