Plain-language manuals, fully worked Excel demonstrators and ready-to-teach instructor keys for non-life reserving and pricing. Rigorous enough for a regulator, clear enough for someone seeing a triangle for the first time.
Built by Dr. Ortopah Kojo Botchey · triple-qualified actuary (FIA, SAV, FASG) · 17+ years P&C and reinsurance.
Each product is a complete teaching set: a plain-language manual, a worked Excel demonstrator with every formula visible, and an instructor key with an auto-grader. Start free, upgrade to the full bundle when you're ready.
From the loss-development triangle to Chain Ladder, Bornhuetter-Ferguson, Cape Cod and a stochastic peek — with the paid-versus-incurred diagnostic and the case/IBNR split regulators look for.
The full technical-pricing arc: exposure, burning cost, frequency-severity, GLM relativities, credibility, large-loss and reinsurance loadings, and the technical premium — taught on motor and fire side by side.
The next in the series: practical predictive modelling for non-life — data preparation, model building, validation and governance — in the same plain-language, fully-worked style.
Take Reserving and Pricing as a bundle for your training programme, with both instructor keys and auto-graders. The natural backbone for an underwriter or junior-actuary onboarding curriculum.
Every product moves the same way, so once you've used one the next feels familiar.
A short, plain-language guide with a Quick Start page a non-actuary can finish in ten minutes.
A live Excel workbook where every formula is visible. Change one blue cell and watch the answer move.
Expected answers, a marking rubric and a 90-minute lesson plan, ready to take into a classroom.
Students build their own answer; the workbook marks it green, amber or red against the model.
A ready-made training asset for underwriters, product staff and junior actuaries — practical, consistent, and built on real African-market examples.
A transparent, documentation-first approach with a built-in AI reasonableness layer — a natural fit for supervisory capacity-building workshops.
Manual, workbook, instructor key and auto-grading drop straight into an actuarial or insurance programme as a hands-on unit.
We run tailored workshops for insurers, regulators and universities — half-day to two-session formats built on these exact materials, adapted to your team and your book. The documents are the curriculum; the workshop is the experience.
