HIH Insurance · General insurance
The case in brief
Visible before detection
Checks that could have surfaced it, on hindsight
Unit economics & burn
Would have tested pricing and reserves against claims experience.
Can mislead when: Cost allocation is a judgement call. Kubr shows its assumptions and lets the user change them.
Ownership / related-party links
Would have flagged the director's dealings with the company.
Can mislead when: Nominee directors and offshore layers hide links. Name matching throws up false positives, so every flag shows its evidence path.
Governance signals
Would have shown weak delegation limits and board challenge.
Can mislead when: Private companies file late, so these signals are lagging. Kubr uses them to support other flags, not to prove anything alone.

Mapped from the checks each service runs. A hindsight reading of public records, not a promise that the failure would have been found.
Same pattern
A summary of public documents. It reports what the sources say. It is not Kubr's finding and not a statement of guilt.
