## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt).


# README

## Claims Evidence Packager

> Collate photos, invoices, incident reports and policy excerpts into a structured, assessor-ready evidence bundle — in milliseconds, not hours.

---

### What it does

Insurance claims handlers spend hours manually gathering scattered documents (emails, portals, scanned PDFs) and assembling them into a coherent evidence pack for assessors.  
This Actor accepts a claim's metadata plus a list of document objects and returns a **fully structured evidence bundle** containing:

| Section | What you get |
|---|---|
| **Claim metadata** | Normalised claimant, policy, and incident details |
| **Document records** | Classified, date-extracted, and checksummed document entries |
| **Timeline** | All documents ordered chronologically by detected date |
| **Financial summary** | Per-invoice breakdown and grand total claimed (AUD) |
| **Coverage check** | Cross-validates policy numbers mentioned in documents against the declared policy |
| **Bundle summary** | Document-type counts, completeness flag, and any documents with validation issues |
| **Integrity checksums** | SHA-256 per document — auditable chain of evidence |

#### Document types recognised
`photo`, `invoice`/`receipt`, `incident_report`/`police_report`, `policy_excerpt`/`policy_schedule`, `correspondence`/`email`/`letter`, `other`

#### Date formats supported
- ISO 8601: `2024-03-15`
- Australian: `15/03/2024`
- Long form: `15 March 2024`

---

### Who buys this

- **Insurance claims teams** at Australian general insurers (motor, home, commercial)
- **Loss adjusting firms** that receive unstructured document bundles from claimants
- **Claims management software vendors** embedding evidence assembly into their workflow

### Suggested Apify pricing

| Tier | Volume | Price |
|---|---|---|
| **Pay-per-claim** | Any | **$8 per claim bundle** |
| **Starter** | Up to 100 claims/month | **$350/month** |
| **Professional** | Up to 500 claims/month | **$1,200/month** |
| **Enterprise** | Unlimited + SLA | Custom quote |

Loss adjusters processing 200+ claims/month break even versus manual collation (~2 hours/claim at $60/hr) within the first week.
