Akur8, the next generation insurance pricing and reserving solution powered by Transparent AI, announced today an expansion of its long-standing strategic relationship with RSM US LLP (“RSM”), the leading provider of assurance, tax and consulting services for the middle market.

Extending its use of Akur8’s pricing and reserving solutions, RSM will now adopt Akur8 Discover across its enterprise to enhance the regulatory and actuarial services it provides to insurance and financial services clients across the U.S. and Canada. This enterprise adoption reflects RSM’s deliberate investment in technology- enabled regulatory intelligence as a core pillar of its North American insurance growth strategy.

Akur8 Discover will also be leveraged by Risk & Regulatory Consulting (“RRC”), an RSM-affiliated consultancy focused on compliance and examinations, to support regulatory advisory engagements for insurers and state regulatory agencies.

RSM brings deep industry expertise across the insurance and financial services sectors, supporting carriers, MGAs, reinsurers and regulatory agencies with advisory, actuarial, compliance and risk management services. With practices spanning pricing, reserving, capital modeling, compliance examinations and regulatory affairs, RSM plays a critical role in helping insurers navigate an evolving landscape shaped by market volatility, regulatory scrutiny and emerging technology.

Through this expanded collaboration, RSM is repositioning its actuarial and regulatory advisory practice around structured data, automation and AI-enabled insight; moving beyond traditional compliance support toward predictive, insight-driven regulator strategy.

Akur8 Discover transforms unstructured regulatory filings from publicly available sources into searchable, on-demand regulatory and market insights, giving actuaries and regulatory consultants richer context for pricing decisions and deeper visibility into market activity, regulatory developments, and emerging industry dynamics. It extracts data from SERFF and state-level filings and turns it into structured, searchable intelligence, enabling RSM and RRC to enhance advisory engagements, accelerate research workflows, and support evidence-based market analysis across personal and commercial lines.

Embedded across RSM’s Insurance and RRC teams, Discover institutionalizes regulator intelligence as a firmwide capability rather than a case-by-case research function, transforming thousands of pages of rate and rule filings into standardized comparable market intelligence.

RSM’s adoption of Akur8 Discover reflects its commitment to modernizing actuarial and regulatory workflows and delivering greater value to clients, building on RSM’s initial deployment of the platform in November 2025. The broader adoption reinforces the value Akur8 Discover has already delivered in actuarial and regulatory advisory workflows. It enables regulatory and actuarial teams across both organizations to uncover insights from complex U.S. insurance rate and rule filings with greater speed and analytical depth. By integrating pricing, reserving and regulatory intelligence, RSM is building a differentiated, end-to-end advisory capability that bridges actuarial science, compliance strategy and market analytics. This is particularly impactful in the U.S., where regulatory filings across 50 state jurisdictions create significant volume, complexity and variation.

With Akur8 Discover, RSM and RRC now have access to a broader set of capabilities to support actuarial, compliance and regulatory review processes, including the
ability to:

• Search and contextualize rate and rule filings across all 50 states
• Normalize carrier filings for easier cross-market benchmarking
• Detect regulatory changes and rate movement across jurisdictions
• Map rating factors, rules and territories across insurers
• Produce evidence-based insights for advisory and examination engagements

Together, these capabilities enable RSM to deliver faster, more defensible, data-backed recommendations to insurers and regulatory stakeholders navigating an increasingly complex environment.

The expanded use of Akur8 Discover builds upon an already established strategic relationship between Akur8 and RSM. RSM previously selected Akur8 to enhance its insurance pricing and reserving processes, reflecting a broader strategic alignment around data-driven actuarial modernization. Together, pricing, reserving and regulatory insight now form a comprehensive suite of capabilities supporting insurers across the U.S. and Canada. This evolution signals RSM’s broader commitment to scalable data infrastructure and positions the firm as a technology-forward leader in middle-market insurance advisory across North America.

Management Comments

Samuel Falmagne, CEO, Akur8 said “RSM and RRC are trusted advisors to insurers and regulators throughout North America. Their commitment to innovation across pricing, reserving and compliance aligns closely with our mission, and we are proud to deepen our collaboration as they expand their advisory capabilities with Akur8 Discover. RSM’s decision to move to enterprise-wide use also underscores the growing demand for structured regulatory intelligence in North America.”

David Mamane, Partner and P&C Actuarial Services Leader, RSM said “The insurance regulatory landscape in the U.S. has entered a new era of volume and complexity. Navigating SERFF and state filing workflows with traditional manual methods simply does not scale. Akur8 Discover empowers our teams to instantly extract, compare and contextualize regulatory information across states and carriers, which fundamentally enhances how we advise clients on compliance, pricing strategy and market positioning. For insurers in the U.S. and Canada, particularly those with limited historical data in emerging products or niche segments, this level of visibility enables more credible pricing models and more informed strategic decisions.”

Sergey Filimonov, Head of Applied AI, Akur8 and Co-Founder of Matrisk AI added “RSM began with a focused pilot, and we watched a small group of early users become power users as they proved the value in real engagements. That success drove the move to enterprise adoption. It’s been particularly validating to see experienced filings professionals, people who already know SERFF inside and out, consistently uncover new context and accelerate their work with Discover.”
