How to Detect AI Cheating in a Claims Adjuster SQL/Excel Test
Claims adjuster skills tests typically involve spreadsheet-based reserve calculations, settlement valuation logic, and loss-ratio formulas. AI cheating shows up as instantly-perfect formulas pasted from Copilot/ChatGPT instead of built incrementally, since these calculations require judgment steps an AI tool can shortcut. Neuroxa's Browser Proctoring logs paste events and tab switches during the test.
| Threat Model | Observable Tell | Confidence |
|---|---|---|
| Reserve/settlement formula pasted whole from an AI assistant | Paste event with no incremental keystroke history | High |
| Tab switch to ChatGPT or an insurance-calculation help site mid-test | Tab-focus-loss logged with no declared reference material | High |
| Excel Copilot auto-generating valuation formulas | Formula syntax inconsistent with the candidate's earlier manual entries | Medium |
| Webcam shows repeated glances to a second device | Gaze/attention flag at consistent intervals correlating with answer jumps | Medium-High |
Interviewer script (test instructions): "This test is browser-locked — please stay on this tab with no outside tools. If a formula concept is unclear, use the built-in hint." Review the paste and tab-switch timeline against the final answers before scoring.
Evidence to capture:
- Keystroke and paste-event log per question
- Tab/window-focus change timestamps
- Webcam snapshot at flagged events
- Time-per-question vs. cohort baseline
- Formula pattern comparison against known AI-generated solutions

FAQs
Why does formula authorship matter for claims adjusters specifically? Reserve and settlement calculations require judgment about coverage, liability, and precedent that an AI-pasted formula skips — testing unassisted work verifies that judgment is genuinely the candidate's.
What if the candidate is simply fast at Excel? Neuroxa flags paste-without-typing and tab-switch patterns, not raw speed — a fast, manually-built formula isn't flagged.
Can this run alongside live video monitoring? Yes — pair Browser Proctoring with AI Meeting Proctor for combined webcam-plus-browser signals during the test.
How should a flag affect the hiring decision? Use it to prioritize which submissions get a manual review, not as an automatic disqualifier.
