UnderwritingOS · Insurance Underwriting Operations, as a line of five stages. Receive: an AI model reads, classifies, extracts or drafts. Complete: an AI agent works the case within the limits you approve. Prepare: an AI model reads, classifies, extracts or drafts. Refer: your team decides. Progress: the work is done in your systems.

The problem

## Submissions arrive in every format, rarely complete.

Your underwriter opens one to find the SOV half-filled, the loss runs out of date, and no reply from the broker.

Who it serves Chief underwriting officers, underwriting operations, commercial lines, and MGA operations

What the service includes

## We do the work within the limits of your policy.

Your service schedule lists the tasks your operation includes.

01

### Clearance and sanctions

We clear each submission against in-force business, quotes, and the broker of record, and screen the insured for sanctions.

02

### ACORD capture and broker follow-up

From email, portals, and attachments, we capture the ACORD data and chase the broker for missing documents and answers.

03

### SOV normalization and enrichment

We normalize the SOV into your template and enrich it from your approved data sources, with each field’s source.

04

### Loss-run analysis

For each prior carrier, we structure the loss runs by year, line, and cause, calculate frequency and severity, and flag large losses.

05

### Appetite and referral

Against your criteria, we check appetite and completeness and refer cases above your authority limits to the right underwriter.

06

### Quote, bind, and renewals

We prepare quotes from your terms, track subjectivities until your underwriter clears them, and assemble renewals ahead of expiry.

How the service works

## Five stages, and who does each one.

Each stage runs on the method that fits the cost of an error.

Questions

## What buyers ask before they scope.

Can brokers keep using their existing channels?

Yes. We take submissions through the channels brokers use today.

Can it cover more than one insurance line?

Yes, one line at a time. Each line and jurisdiction is its own service, with its own rules and acceptance criteria.

What happens when two brokers submit the same risk?

We flag the conflict with each broker’s clearance evidence, and your insurer or delegated underwriter decides which to work with.
