                          Accelerator’s perfect combination of human training and
                          automated coding is, in essence, a manual start with a
                          push-button finish. The client realized dramatic reduction in
                          human costs, while at the same time it increased
                          productivity.

                          Testing revealed:

                          • 96% of total responses were coded through automation.
                          • Productivity improved by nearly 400%, with Accelerator
                            coding
                          • 603 responses per hour versus manual coding of only
                            122 responses per hour
                          • Human costs were reduced by 80%, to 3 cents per
                            response from 14 cents per response.
                          • Response categorization consistently yielded accuracy
                            scores of 85% to 95%.

                        Case Study Results – Global Company
                        In addition to impressive productivity gains within each team,
                        the company found that Ascribe has helped them offer better
                        quality and faster service to customers. Working collaboratively
                        on coding also helped this company increase accuracy of their
                        coding efforts.

                        A productivity analysis showed that the Ascribe platform
                        delivered:

                        •   97% increase in productivity – on average 90RPH
                            (responses per hour) increased to 177RPH
                        •   50% reduction in labor costs – representing a saving of
                            nearly $9 million per year (for processing 70 million
                            responses)
                        •   95% accuracy for coded results

                        Resulting in an annual return on investment of more than 10
                        times the technology expense (1000% ROI – technology spend
                        versus labor savings).
