02 — Deep Dive

Commercial Property: A Complexity Crisis

The underwriter's journey is fragmented across systems, data sources, and manual processes—creating risk and inefficiency

Submission Intake

Parse ACORD apps, SOVs, loss runs across PDFs, emails & broker portals

Data Enrichment

Verify COPE, pull hazard data, validate property values from 6+ sources

Risk Assessment

Score CAT exposures, analyze loss history, evaluate protection class

Pricing & Terms

Calculate premium, set deductibles, structure coverage limits

Quote & Bind

Fragmented Data Landscape

SOVs in Excel, loss runs in PDF, COPE from inspections—no single source of truth

High Impact

Inadequate Values

35% of commercial properties are underinsured due to outdated replacement cost estimates

Critical

Climate Blind Spots

Traditional models miss emerging perils—convective storm, wildfire, flood beyond zones

Growing

Cycle Time Pressure

Brokers expect quotes in hours; current process takes 3-5 days per submission
