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.

Write 80.0% confidence that the underwriter agrees

Eligible law firm with 26 FTE, no prior EPL claims, and no planned layoffs. The revenue discrepancy should be reconciled, but the available information does not establish that it changes a rating band or requires referral.

Endorsements HB-MA-01

Schedule modification -10% 95.0% confidence. Apply -5% for the employee handbook and -5% for the HR department. Turnover of 34% does not qualify for a turnover adjustment.

Follow-up to the broker

Hi Broker,

Could you please clarify the annual revenue? The application documents each show $5,088,000, while the email body states $5,600,000. Please confirm the correct figure and provide any supporting updated information if applicable.

Thank you
