Who is it for?
Built for insurance intelligence, claims, and investigations teams assessing suspect claims where physical surveillance is expensive and slow. Most useful for assessors deciding which claims in a portfolio justify the cost of a deployed capability.

Claim Capability Indicators Beyond the Gym
See how publicly available posts carry dated physical capability, mobility, and financial indicators well beyond a gym check-in.
Incapacity is not only tested in a gym. It is tested by ordinary life: hours in a confined airline seat, a bag carried up a long flight of stairs, a step down into a boat that will not hold steady.
People publish that life themselves, in sequence, with dates attached. Fivecast ONYX collects and analyzes it at scale, so an assessor holds a dated picture of claimed incapacity in hours rather than weeks.
How do analysts detect capability indicators in public content?
The entry point was a hashtag search across publicly available short-form video content, with no name, no case reference, and no case file. It surfaced a post presented as a first-person account of a workplace incident, published deliberately and tagged for reach, and Fivecast ONYX kept the surrounding account activity under continuous review.
What do dated public posts reveal about physical capability?
Five days later, the same account published a birthday weekend montage: air travel, a run of nightclubs, fishing from a small boat, and a cabin reached by a significant flight of stairs. Read as a capability assessment, that is prolonged sitting, load bearing, balance, repeated ascent and descent, and endurance across consecutive days, none of it in a gym.
Why does open-source triage come first?
Public content changes the sequence, not the standard of proof. Investigations run up to 80% faster with Fivecast ONYX, one analyst working in the platform delivers the output of four, and automation saved one government agency 65,000 hours a year.
Does open-source assessment replace surveillance or medical evidence?
No. Open-source assessment does not replace surveillance, examination, or interview: it tells an insurer which claims justify the cost of them. Anything surfaced this way is a starting point for assessment, not a finding.
Findings support the assessor’s judgment. They never automate a decision about a person.
What you’ll learn
- Why the indicator set is wider than fitness content: travel, stairs, boats, nightlife, and manual work all speak to physical capability
- How dated material lets an assessor build a sequence rather than rely on a single post
- Why continuous collection captures timing that periodic manual checks miss
- How one montage carries physical, mobility, financial, and pattern-of-life indicators at once
- Where open-source triage sits relative to surveillance, examination, and interview
