Working alongside teams like
Des Moines is one of the largest insurance and financial-services hubs in the country, second only to Hartford by some measures. Principal Financial Group anchors the skyline downtown, alongside Nationwide, Wellmark Blue Cross Blue Shield, and EMC Insurance, with a dense cluster of carriers, actuaries, and pension managers across the Western Gateway and East Village.
Surrounding the city is some of the most productive farmland in the world. Iowa agriculture and agtech, from seed genetics to grain logistics, feed a second economy of cooperatives and processors. Together, insurance and agriculture make Des Moines a document-heavy, risk-heavy market.
arosplatforms builds production AI for Des Moines carriers and agribusinesses that must satisfy actuaries, regulators, and auditors, not just a demo. Grounded, owned by you, deployed in your own cloud.

It depends on scope. A focused readiness assessment or a single production use case, like claims triage at Principal-scale or underwriting document extraction, is a fixed-fee engagement. Larger builds are scoped after a free discovery call with an honest range.
Insurance and financial services lead, given the volume of policies, claims, and actuarial documents. Agtech and health benefits follow closely. These are exactly the document- and risk-heavy workflows where grounded AI pays off.
We are remote-first, work on Central time, and meet clients on the ground in the downtown Financial District and West Des Moines for discovery, workshops, and key milestones. Your AI runs in your own cloud, not ours.
Yes. We build with auditability and trust boundaries from day one, deploy in your environment, and produce the controls and evaluation evidence that carrier compliance teams and SOC 2 auditors expect.
A first production use case typically goes live in weeks, not quarters. We start from the highest-leverage workflow, like a single claims or underwriting flow, prove it with evaluation, then expand.
