IFRS 17 Measurement Conformance

Note (dated 2026-08-04): a chain composes independent computations performed in an analytical order. No step's output is carried into the next step by the execution model; each step computes from its own declared inputs. This is true of every chain on this site, including chains whose per-step copy below reads as a data handoff.

Three-node chain validating IFRS 17 insurance contract measurement from model classification through CSM roll-forward to risk adjustment disclosure. Each stage produces a SHA-256 execution hash, forming a tamper-evident audit trail. Terminal node exports a W3C Verifiable Credential.

Chain summary

IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts (mandatory from 1 Jan 2023) requires insurers to measure groups of insurance contracts using one of three models: the General Measurement Model (GMM/BBA, default), the Variable Fee Approach (VFA, for direct-participating contracts), or the Premium Allocation Approach (PAA, for short-duration coverage ≤12 months). This chain classifies the applicable model, validates the CSM roll-forward arithmetic and detects onerous contracts, and checks risk adjustment technique and disclosure compliance. Nodes: ART-177 → ART-178 → ART-179.

Stage 1 — Measurement Model Classification

classify_ifrs17_measurement_model · ART-177

Classify insurance contracts to GMM/BBA (default), VFA (direct-participating, not reinsurance), or PAA (coverage ≤12 months or elected). Returns measurement_model, eligible_models[], paa_eligible, vfa_eligible, and a SHA-256 execution hash.

      "is_reinsurance": false,
      "premium_allocation_approach_election": false,
      "vfa_election": false
    }
  }
}

Stage 2 — CSM Roll-Forward Validation

validate_ifrs17_csm_rollforward · ART-178

Validate the Contractual Service Margin roll-forward (IFRS 17 para 44–50): computes closing CSM from six movement items, detects onerous contracts (negative closing → loss component), and release excess. Receives execution hash from stage 1 as parent_hash.

      "release_to_profit": 120,
      "fx_adjustments": 10
    }
  }
}

Stage 3 — Risk Adjustment Check (terminal)

check_ifrs17_risk_adjustment · ART-179

Validate IFRS 17 risk adjustment for non-financial risk (para 56–57, 119): technique (VaR/CTE/CoC/other), confidence level disclosure, RA amount, and onerous contract loss component. Returns ra_compliant boolean and gaps[] list. Final stage — artifact exportable as Policy Mandate JSON or W3C VC.

Ask your agent

Copy this paragraph into Claude, OpenClaw, or any MCP-aware agent to run this whole workflow on the server and check one field that answers a real question.

Question: Is this direct participation contract eligible for the simplified PAA model, or must we set up a full GMM CSM rollforward?
Run the AINumbers MCP tool `run_chain` with {"chain":"ifrs17-measurement-conformance"} and read `art-177-ifrs17-measurement-model-classifier.measurement_model`.
Re-run with `inputs` for `art-177-ifrs17-measurement-model-classifier`, reusing the values that result echoed, with `contract` changed so direct_participating_features is true in the contract. Compare the same field.
Verify: call `verify_execution_hash` (https://mcp.ainumbers.co/mcp) with `claimed_hash` set to `composite_execution_hash` and the full `composite_artifact`.
Ledger, for a human re-check: https://ledger.ainumbers.co/
PII rule: send synthetic or anonymised inputs only. The MCP server runs these kernels and logs no payloads.
