Challenge

The underwriting process is how insurers determine the price of coverage and is based upon the proposed policies unique circumstances and risk profile. The insurer lacked consistent processes to ensure that new policies and clauses aligned to internal best practices and reference contracts. This lack of standardization resulted in lost sales, time-consuming verification process and unintended risk exposure. Management sought to ensure policies were priced quickly and fairly for the risk exposure.

Solution

The solution utilizes powerful AI tools that automatically read dense structured and unstructured documents and understand the relevant content therein. Using the tool as an extension of the human team, the insurer can  include more factors from more documents during underwriting. This tool helps uncover unintended exposures and policy inconsistencies at scale, enabling experienced underwriters to make smarter decisions faster and speed the quoting and sales processes.
