AI drafts

The AI drafts the appetite. Jordan Lee, the underwriter, approves or changes every draft. The EPL (employment practices liability) cover asked for is the policy line these drafts price.

Refer 87.0% confidence that the underwriter agrees

Retail is an eligible class, but the reported prior EPL claim warrants referral. The claim history also conflicts between the two submitted documents and should be reconciled.

Endorsements HB-104, HB-112

Schedule modification 0% 72.0% confidence. Apply -5% for the employee handbook and -5% for the HR department, plus +10% for the reported prior EPL claim. Turnover of 35% does not trigger a schedule adjustment.

Follow-up to the broker
