In E&S, the first credible quote usually wins — and the bottleneck is almost never underwriting judgment. It’s the hours between a broker’s email landing and a human deciding the risk is even in appetite. Fix intake and you’ve bought more capacity than any hiring plan.

What’s breaking

Where the hours actually go.

Submissions arrive as email threadsInconsistent ACORD forms, SOVs, and loss runs — triaged by whoever opens the inbox.
Loss runs rekeyed before ratingData entry standing between a submission and a rate indication.
Declinations as slow as quotesCapacity spent on triage instead of pricing the business you want.
No data on why you lostThe submission was never structured, so the hit-ratio analysis can’t exist.
What we build

The systems that fix it.

  • 01Submission intake that reads the email, the forms, the SOV, and the loss runs into structured risk data
  • 02Automated clearance and appetite triage so underwriters see in-appetite work first
  • 03Loss-run extraction feeding straight into rating
  • 04Quote-turnaround instrumentation — where the hours go, by broker and by class
  • 05A hit-ratio dataset that exists because every submission is now structured
Where to startAn Underwriting AI Readiness Sprint to size the intake bottleneck in hours and premium, then a Document-to-Decision Sprint on submissions and loss runs.
