Claims operations at Axiom Health ran on attention: every claim, simple or not, waited for a person. The team wasn't slow — the queue was undifferentiated. Routine approvals consumed the hours that complex cases deserved.

Clearline is a rules engine with a console on top. Hard rules deny what must be denied, clean claims approve themselves, and only genuinely ambiguous cases reach a reviewer — with the engine's full reasoning attached. The result their CTO quoted back to us: dozens of hours of manual work removed each week, and every claim traceable to something in production.

Automation with an audit trail.

/01

Rules-based adjudication engine

Eligibility, code validity, fee-schedule ceilings, duplicate detection — explicit, versioned rules that approve, deny, or escalate every claim with a confidence score.

/02

Human-in-the-loop review

Ambiguous claims route to a reviewer with the engine's reasoning pre-loaded. Decisions require a note, and overrides join the same audit trail as the automation.

/03

The adjudication trail

Every claim carries a step-by-step record of every rule that fired — engine build, confidence, and outcome. Compliance stopped being a quarterly scramble.

/04

Operations console

Live queue with filtering, search, touchless-rate KPIs, and CSV export — the whole claims cycle visible on one screen.

Judgment where it matters.

Healthcare automation earns trust through explainability, not accuracy alone. We made the audit trail the product's spine: the engine was designed to show its work first and act second. Every rule is named, versioned, and visible in the console.

We resisted the machine-learning reflex. Axiom's adjudication logic was policy, not pattern — so we encoded it as explicit rules the compliance team can read, and reserved statistical confidence for routing decisions. Intelligence where it multiplies judgment; humans where the stakes are high.

The threshold between auto-approval and human review is a config value, not a constant — operations tunes it as trust in the engine grows. Six weeks in, the touchless rate was still climbing.
