For agency owners

Understand the agency without rebuilding the story every month.

Keelridge gives owners an evidence-backed view of booked financial performance and the in-force Book—while keeping the difference between those records visible.

The owner problem

The agency can have data and still lack an operating answer.

An AMS explains the operating Book. Accounting explains what was posted. Spreadsheets and institutional memory often sit between them.

Keelridge preserves those source boundaries, gives the owner a repeatable review, and lets every conclusion open into its supporting view.

Inside the owner view

One review, with the evidence still attached.

The interface is illustrative and the values are synthetic. The questions, boundaries, and source treatment reflect the product being developed.

What we will not pretend

Two ledgers do not become one just because they share a dashboard.

  • The AMS remains operational truth.In-force policies and Book movement come from the selected AMS snapshot.
  • Accounting remains booked truth.Revenue and expenses come from posted GL rows.
  • Differences remain visible.Timing, direct bill, contingency, exclusions, and unallocated remainder are not silently forced to agree.
  • AI remains read-only.The current analytic assistant can explain authorized metrics and link to the owning view; it cannot make changes.
