Use the outputs of these models to help the company make better decisions e.g. should we buy an additional layer of reinsurance coverage or not? Should we continue writing a particular type of insurance business?

Reserving: support half yearly reserve assessments, monitoring performance with interim analyses including actual vs expected and portfolio analysis. Helping to provide business analysis/MI for reports and accounts.
