Write 78.0% confidence that the underwriter agrees

Law firms are an eligible class; staffing is above the minimum, with no prior EPL claims or planned layoffs. The revenue discrepancy needs clarification, but the provided information does not establish that it changes a rating band.

Endorsements HB-MA-01

Schedule modification -10% 94.0% confidence. Apply -5% for the employee handbook and -5% for the HR department. Turnover of 34% does not qualify for a schedule adjustment.
