## Frequently Asked Questions

#### What are Pinpoint’s Discovery Models?

Discovery Models are flexible, actuary-built predictive tools that let carriers design and test custom models for any defined two-outcome event (churn vs. retention, program adoption vs. decline). They provide a safe, fast way to experiment with predictive solutions across underwriting, claims, marketing, and retention.

#### How do Binary Classifiers work?

When carriers can define an outcome as “did” vs. “did not,” Pinpoint can model it as a Binary Classifier. Upload labeled records and OnPoint trains and validates a custom classifier, returning results within 24 hours. With a few clicks, the model is production-ready via configurable APIs—turning hypotheses into real-world value fast.

#### What business challenges can Discovery Models help solve?

Pinpoint builds custom models around the outcomes your organization is prioritizing, aligning each build to your most consequential challenges. OnPoint trains on your labeled outcomes and promotes models to production rapidly, with no fixed catalog or constraints on what you can model. The result is a production-ready model precisely focused on your current priorities.

#### Do carriers need their own data science team to use these models?

No. OnPoint automates model build and validation end to end—feature prep, training, testing, and promotion—so both business and technical teams can experiment and deploy without custom development. You provide a correctly pulled labeled dataset (minimal internal effort), the platform returns results within 24 hours, and production enablement is a few clicks via configurable APIs.

#### How can carriers access Discovery Models?

Commercial clients receive annual allocations to build and run Binary Classifiers. Prospective clients can also use Discovery Models in Proof of Value engagements when paired with core Pinpoint solutions like Loss Predictions, Early Cancellation Risk, or Attorney Rep Propensity.
