Superman and Spiderman are classics, Deadpool is a personal favorite, but for our purposes Iron Man is the most relevant. Unlike Clark Kent, Peter Parker, or Wade Wilson, Tony Stark has no <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">innate<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> superpowers.

But two years in, it\u2019s a little less Incredible.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I say this based on our \u2018Automation Index.&#8217; This tracks the ratio of customers to team members. Two years ago today we had 96 customers and 21 people on staff: our Automation Index stood at 5. Today, we have under 100 team members and over 250,000 customers, and the Index reads 2,500:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4315 size-large\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/automation_index-1024x536.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"536\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lemonade.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/automation_index-1024x536.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.lemonade.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/automation_index-300x157.png 300w, https:\/\/www.lemonade.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/automation_index-768x402.png 768w, https:\/\/www.lemonade.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/automation_index-400x209.png 400w, https:\/\/www.lemonade.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/automation_index.png 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To put that number in perspective, consider that most efficient legacy insurance carriers have about 1,200 policies per employee, and most lag much further behind:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-4314 size-large\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/policies_per_employee-1024x536.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"536\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lemonade.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/policies_per_employee-1024x536.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.lemonade.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/policies_per_employee-300x157.png 300w, https:\/\/www.lemonade.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/policies_per_employee-768x402.png 768w, https:\/\/www.lemonade.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/policies_per_employee-400x209.png 400w, https:\/\/www.lemonade.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/policies_per_employee.png 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And that\u2019s only if you close one eye and squint with the other. You see, taking \u2018employees\u2019 as the denominator makes insurers appear <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">more efficient<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> than they really are, because \u2018agents\u2019 are a huge part of their workforce without being \u2018employees.\u2019 Likewise, taking \u2018policies\u2019 as the numerator overstates the \u2018customer\u2019 part, because most customers have more than one \u2018policy.\u2019\u00a0 Once we adjust for these, the picture is even more stark:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-4344 size-full\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/customers_per_human-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"628\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lemonade.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/customers_per_human-1.png 1200w, https:\/\/www.lemonade.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/customers_per_human-1-300x157.png 300w, https:\/\/www.lemonade.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/customers_per_human-1-768x402.png 768w, https:\/\/www.lemonade.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/customers_per_human-1-1024x536.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.lemonade.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/customers_per_human-1-400x209.png 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s tempting to dismiss this as an anomaly \u2018because Lemonade is still small,&#8217; but it\u2019s the other way around. Look at the chart above: Farmers &#8211; the company with the lowest Automation Score &#8211; has fewer customers than Allstate and GEICO, and all three are significantly smaller than State Farm. You see, being small makes you <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">less<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> efficient. The fact that \u2018Lemonade is still small\u2019 makes that 2,500 number all the more Iron-Manish.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In fairness, using the Automation Index to compare Lemonade to incumbents is imperfect. Most of Lemonade\u2019s customers bought renters insurance &#8211; a relatively simple product &#8211; while our competitors often sell more complex products. But while it may be flawed, the story the Automation Index tells seems directionally correct. For one, we\u2019re seeing similar efficiencies when handling more complex products, like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lemonade.com\/homeowners\">homeowners insurance<\/a>. For another, the Automation Index actually handicaps Lemonade more than it does incumbents.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How? It\u2019s obvious when you think about it: incumbents are in \u2018maintenance mode\u2019 &#8211; the most efficient state of being. The majority of their customers had <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">zero<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> contact with them in the past 2 years, and their systems, headcount, licenses, and technologies hardly changed during that time. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our own experience couldn\u2019t be more different:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\t<div class=\"tweet-block-container\">\r\n\t\t<div class=\"tweet-content\">\r\n\t\t\t<p><i class=\"fa fa-quote-left\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?text=100%25+of+Lemonade%E2%80%99s+customers+joined+in+the+past+2+years%2C+as+did+80%25+of+the+team.+In+parallel%2C+Lemonade+increased+licenses+20x%2C+released+1%2C500+software+upgrades%2C+and+performed+tens+of+thousands+of+product+and+marketing+tests.&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.lemonade.com%2Fblog%2Ftwo-years-transparency%2F&via=Lemonade_Inc\" target=\"_blank\">100% of Lemonade\u2019s customers joined in the past 2 years, as did 80% of the team.

If we\u2019re hitting 2,500 on the Automation Index now, I think it\u2019s likely we\u2019ll double that number in the next 2 years, and then double it again.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wonder Woman\u2019s Secret<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What\u2019s the secret? Consider Maya. Maya is a real person, with a full time job and a wonderful young family, yet her alter ego manages to sell an insurance policy <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">every 60 seconds, 24 hours a day, seven days a week<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. \u2018AI Maya\u2019 had <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">millions<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of conversations in the past two years &#8211; thousands of them concurrently. And rather than getting tired, she\u2019s just getting started: most days she handles more customers than she did the previous day, with no sign of letting up. Human Maya is a licensed agent and a wonderful woman, but to become a <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">superwoman<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> she dons that exoskeleton.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And it\u2019s not just Maya. Jim does the same thing when handling claims, while Cooper (our Jarvis wannabe) runs much of the company\u2019s back office, providing underwriting, finance, and R&amp;D with their own exoskeleton (see Shai\u2019s post on the <\/span><a href=\"\/blog\/rise-autonomous-organization\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rise of the Autonomous Organization<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Super Happy?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s easy to have a high Customer to Human ratio if you\u2019re willing to let customer satisfaction pay the price. &#8220;Your call is important to us and will be answered in the order in which it was received\u201d is a magic formula for high-efficiency-low-customer-satisfaction.

But not all metrics have been so super &#8211; and on several key measures our performance was distinctly subpar.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lemonade has a unique business model, where we take a flat fee and <\/span><a href=\"\/blog\/lemonade-giveback-2018\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Giveback<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> leftover money to nonprofits.

The upshot of this is that if we have too many claims, these are paid for by our reinsurance partners, ensuring Lemonade has a constant and healthy net \u201closs ratio.&#8221;\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But the fact that our reinsurance agreements protect us from too many claims can\u2019t hide the fact that, since launch, we\u2019ve paid out more in claims than we\u2019ve collected in premiums. Clearly, that can\u2019t continue indefinitely.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The good news is that we seem to have turned a corner. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Insurance is the business of using data from the past to divine how many claims people will have in the future. And so, while our early results kept us on our toes &#8211; they didn\u2019t surprise us. Our competitors had a hundred years of data; we had zero. Over the past two years, as we\u2019ve signed up more customers and handled more claims, we\u2019ve graduated from relying on the proverbial \u2018wild-ass-guesses\u2019 to the more credible \u2018educated guess.&#8217;\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cLemonade has shown the most dramatic improvement in its underwriting results\u201d <\/span><\/i><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/i><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(IBNR Weekly #34, Vol. XXV)<\/span><\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Encouragingly, our loss ratio dropped by half from H1 2017 to H1 2018, and while it\u2019s still too high, a similar progression in the year ahead will get us to where we need to be.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4311 size-large\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/loss_ratio-1024x536.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"536\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lemonade.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/loss_ratio-1024x536.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.lemonade.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/loss_ratio-300x157.png 300w, https:\/\/www.lemonade.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/loss_ratio-768x402.png 768w, https:\/\/www.lemonade.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/loss_ratio-400x209.png 400w, https:\/\/www.lemonade.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/loss_ratio.png 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The disadvantages of being a new insurance carrier are obvious: data paucity.
