"In the majority of cases"
What happens in the rest of the cases? Does it get them wrong, or does it kick them out for manual review?
What happens when the rules change? (Example: if your data involves ICD codes, there's the recent ICD-10 rollout.)
It needs to fail gracefully, and it needs to allow for whatever amount of manual review/supervision the "old school" people in charge are comfortable with, and for that comfort level to change.
If it doesn't do those things, telling management probably won't get much (except maybe "cool, can you make it actually useful?" or "quit sticking your nose in where it's not wanted").
If it does... that's not what you're there to do. You'll probably still have to fight for management buy-in etc. As an insurance company, they'll probably be against taking unknown risks (like replacing a known working process with untested software someone wrote at home).
If you really want to get them to use your project, you're more-or-less dabbling in a somewhat watered-down version of enterprise sales (minus the enterprise price point, since work-related software you wrote is quite possibly owned by your employer regardless of being written at home during off-hours). Is that something that actually interests you?
