Contact Centre Call Analytics for Insurance Brokers

Every compliance breach
started with a call
nobody reviewed.

FCA expectations have materially increased under Consumer Duty. The evidence your brokerage needs to demonstrate good outcomes cannot be built from a 5% sample. Cognifai analyses every recorded conversation, surfacing compliance risk before the FCA finds it first.

The Real Cost

The fine is rarely the thing
that does the damage.

For an owner-managed broker, an FCA Section 166 skilled person review typically runs from around £50,000 to well over £200,000 in costs, and the firm pays every penny before the regulator has reached any conclusion. Insurers and brokers were billed £2.7 million for just eight such reviews in the year to March 2024. And the bill is only the start. Then comes the cascade: internal teams pulled off their day jobs for months, call recordings retrieved and reviewed across thousands of interactions, agents redeployed from revenue-generating activity to manual remediation, sales pipelines that go cold, and brand damage in a relationship-driven market that takes years to reverse.

Source: FCA Freedom of Information disclosure, year to 31 March 2024 (general insurance & protection: 8 skilled person reviews, £2.71m total).

The risk is hiding in the calls you don't listen to.The industry manually reviews fewer than 5% of calls. Many contact centres score just one to four calls per agent per month. The other 95%+ is never heard, and that's exactly where the next breach is sitting.
The Problem

The calls you don't review
are where most regulatory risk actually lives.

The Regulatory Case

The FCA is not waiting for complaints.
It is demanding evidence.

Source: FCA interventions team data, obtained via Freedom of Information disclosure (as reported by Compliance Corylated): 15 voluntary outcomes (2019/20) rising to 102 (2023/24).
01
Consumer Duty proof
Firms must demonstrate, not assume, that they are delivering good outcomes. Without 100% call data, you cannot.
02
Sales practice scrutiny
The FCA is examining whether customers properly understand policy coverage, exclusions and limitations before purchase.
03
SM&CR personal accountability
Under SM&CR, accountability sits with named individuals. A firm whose permissions are varied or restricted mid-investigation can see its ability to write new business curtailed, and the senior manager answers for it personally, not just the business.
04
Vulnerable customer identification
Firms must identify and appropriately serve vulnerable customers. Manual sampling at fewer than 5%, leaving 95%+ unreviewed, cannot do this at any meaningful scale.

What Cognifai Delivers

One intelligence layer.
Three outputs. Every call.

Risk
Catch every breach as it happens, not when the regulator's letter lands.
Every compliance breach flagged, timestamped, attributed, and evidenced. Not after the damage is done, but as it happens. A broker who knows about a systematic sales practice failure in week one can fix it in week two. A broker who finds out in a regulator's letter is facing the full cascade.
Quality
Every agent scored on every call, not four in a hundred.
Every agent scored across every call. Not the four in a hundred that a QA manager got to this week. All of them. Coaching conversations grounded in evidence. Performance management that is fair, auditable, and defensible.
Revenue
Surface the revenue already sitting in your call recordings.
Every coverage gap. Every upsell moment. Every retention signal. Surfaced, categorised, and routed to the people who can act on it. Revenue the business never knew it was leaving on the table.
The Report

This is what lands
in your inbox.

Harrison, Founder of Cognifai Intelligence
Built by an operator

Built by someone who ran contact centres, the old way.

Cognifai didn't start in a lab. Before founding it, Harrison spent years building and running regulated contact centres, living the exact problem the product now solves: the manual QA, the fewer-than-5% sample, and the uneasy knowledge that the next compliance breach was probably sitting in one of the 95% of calls nobody had time to hear.

He spent the next six years inside the SaaS and AI sectors, building and exiting an international search business that placed leaders into some of the world's fastest-moving technology companies. It gave him a front-row seat to what modern technology could now do, and made it obvious that the problem he'd lived with in the contact centre was finally solvable.

"I've sat in your chair. I built Cognifai because I know exactly what's hiding in the calls you don't listen to."

Cognifai was built by someone who's carried that risk personally, not studied it from the outside. It's the system Harrison wished he'd had: every call heard, every risk surfaced, long before the regulator ever picks up the phone.
