Tail Methodology
• Based on NCCI countrywide financial call data
• Similar to method used in ratemaking

“And Prior” Row
• Development in years prior to ten years displayed
• Compare latest paid to prior reserve (p)
• Compare latest reserve to prior reserve (q)
• Geometric Series of reserve decay, where sum = p/(1-q)
• When p + q = 1, reserves assumed adequate.
