Ingestion of the claims

Every day the company sends claims to be verified according to its operational criteria: value, geographic area, sampling, and alerts.

02 / 06

Automatic anonymization

The images are stripped of sensitive elements — license plates and faces. DAFNE is interested in the damage, not the identity.

Four levels of analysis

Every claim leaves traces. Not only in the declared dynamics, but also in the image pixels, file metadata, and attached documents. DAFNE reads them, correlates them, and compares them with historical records. The four levels do not operate in isolation: the evidence cross-references and reinforces each other. No result is sent to the insurance company until validated by an expert operator.

Level 01

Pixel analysis

The same damage, even when everything else changes.

DAFNE compares the visual signature of the damage with the entire archive: it recognizes reused or slightly modified images, already-damaged parts reassembled on different vehicles, crops and copies, and the same vehicle presented with different license plates, even foreign ones.

Level 02

Metadata analysis

Each file tells how it was born.

Behind an image lies information the naked eye can’t see: when it was taken, the device used, and whether it has been altered. DAFNE detects discrepancies between the date of the shot and the date of the accident, traces of editing, images generated or retouched using artificial intelligence, and inconsistencies within the metadata chain.

Level 03

Document analysis

The paper also has cracks.

Estimates, invoices, forms, and appraisals can contain anomalies that are difficult to detect manually. DAFNE detects changed headers, fictitious names and contact details, recurring phone numbers in seemingly unrelated cases, and reused documents with minor variations from one claim to the next.

Level 04

Satellite image analysis

The claim in its context.

Thanks to the partnership with LambdAI Space, the analysis can extend beyond the vehicle to include buildings, roofs, and outdoor areas. A particularly useful tool in property lines, where photographic documentation is often partial and acquired only after the event.

Digital Anti-Fraud Neural Engine

Not a risk score.
Evidence you can verify.

DAFNE does not assign abstract scores or probabilistic indicators: it builds a technical representation of the damage, compares it with the company’s history and produces verifiable visual evidence. The process is designed to be continuous, scalable and traceable, from activation to daily use.

01One-off · a few days

Preparation

Construction of the historical base

To identify damage already submitted in the past, it is necessary to start from historical data. At the start of the collaboration, DAFNE analyzes a set of previous claims deemed relevant by the company, typically two to five years of images: it anonymizes, isolates and indexes each damage in the VISADA database. Thanks to a batch workflow optimized to run in parallel, processing is completed in just a few days. At the end, the system is ready to detect fraud.

02Every day

Operational analysis

Daily use

On a daily basis, the company sends mass claims to be verified according to its own rules: value, geographic area, sampling, alerts. Each image goes through the six-step pipeline: anonymization, damage analysis, matching with the historical data, human validation of high-confidence matches and a report only when confirmed.

03Ready for action

Output

Operational evidence report

Not a simple alert or an abstract risk score: an evidence report designed for operational use, with a direct visual comparison between the claim being analyzed and the related cases, targeted crops of the damage areas and clear identification and timestamps. Anti-fraud and claims settlement teams receive documented, actionable output that can also be used in more formal contexts.

F.A.Q.

Frequently asked questions

The answers we give most often to anti-fraud, claims and DPO teams. Can’t find yours? Write to info@visada.ai.

What is DAFNE, in simple words?

DAFNE is VISADA’s artificial intelligence system that analyzes claim images to identify recurring damage and potential fraud.

It does on a large scale what today only an expert can recognize on a case-by-case basis: it compares the damage, correlates it with the historical data and produces objective and measurable evidence.

Does DAFNE replace experts or anti-fraud teams?

No. DAFNE does not replace experts or anti-fraud teams.

It is a solution designed for insurance companies that supports internal teams, providing evidence and reports that experts can use to make faster and more informed decisions.

What kind of fraud can it detect?

DAFNE analyzes claim images to identify repeated, reused, or inconsistent damage between different claims, even over time or on different vehicles. It is particularly effective in cases where the damage is recognizable to a human expert, but impossible to intercept manually on large volumes.

In particular, DAFNE identifies:

  • damage not attributable to the declared accident, with reused or slightly modified images
  • reassembly of already damaged parts on different vehicles
  • image manipulations (cropping, copying, recurring elements)
  • the same vehicle presented with different license plates, even foreign ones

In these cases, DAFNE transforms seemingly legitimate images into comparable and verifiable evidence.

If damage is visible to the human eye, why do we need AI?

Because the difficulty is not seeing the damage, but remembering it, comparing it, and connecting it on a large scale.

An anti-fraud team can identify an anomaly on a single claim. DAFNE does this across tens of thousands of claims, consistently and continuously, tirelessly, without bias, and without losing historical memory.

Does DAFNE give an automatic verdict of fraud?

No. DAFNE does not issue verdicts or make automatic decisions.

It produces reasoned and traceable reports based on objective and verifiable evidence, understandable even by non-technical specialists. This makes the decision-making process faster and more effective and facilitates stopping the fraud within the insurance company’s anti-fraud processes.

How reliable is the system?

DAFNE is trained on large volumes of real-world data and is constantly monitored.

Each report is verified by an expert operator before being delivered: this ensures that, even in the presence of AI errors, the output remains reliable, verifiable, and defensible, even during internal audits or reviews.

How long does it take to start seeing results?

Results come immediately.

At the start of the collaboration, the insurance company provides a history of claim images (typically from the last 2–5 years). This history is analyzed and indexed by DAFNE within a few days. This way, each new claim is immediately compared with the historical data, making the system effective from the very first stages of use.

Over time, its value grows further as the number of cases analyzed and relationships identified increases.

Is the use of DAFNE compliant with GDPR and privacy regulations?

Yes. DAFNE is designed to operate in compliance with current regulations, with particular attention to data minimization, security, traceability, and process auditability.

By design, we remove identifying elements such as license plates and faces from the images, because the analysis focuses exclusively on the damage and not the subject.

From a procedural standpoint, at the start of the collaboration we propose a DPIA (Data Protection Impact Assessment) that already includes the DAFNE use case, to support the company in correctly framing the system in accordance with the regulatory framework.

How is the value for the company measured?

Value is measured in reduced fraud costs, increased efficiency of anti-fraud teams, and better resource allocation.

DAFNE also helps speed up pre-settlement processes, reducing the overall risk on the claims portfolio. Furthermore, the system’s output provides more robust evidence, which can be used both to support the rejection of a compensation claim and, when necessary, in disputes or legal proceedings.

Each project is accompanied by clear and verifiable metrics, shared with the company.

Why should this also matter to insured citizens?

Because insurance fraud has a real cost that falls on everyone, in the form of higher premiums.

Making anti-fraud analysis more effective means reducing waste, limiting incorrect behavior, and contributing to a fairer insurance system, where costs are not passed on to those who behave correctly.
