Yep. Ive had carriers say they plan to investigate every claim in the first 2 years that was express UW.
From a business standpoint, it makes sense to do it that way vs. on the front end. Assuming you dont have too many major mistakes in UW decisions. Much fewer APS reports to order.

An interesting fact in all of this. Some carriers (I assume most) are "auditing" their automated UW decisions by randomly ordering APS reports for a certain number of policies to ensure accuracy of the system. It does not impact the client, even if the automated decision was way off. Its just an internal process to evaluate the accuracy of the program.
I do think some carriers have rescinded policies when they discover agregious misrepresentation. Heard one where e app & automated UW had someone listed as 170lbs but an audit discovered they were over 300
