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 98.0% confidence that the underwriter agrees

Refer: this restaurant has 68% turnover, above the 60% referral threshold, and two prior EPL claims. It has 8.5 FTE, so it does not trigger the minimum-staff hard decline; two claims do not exceed the hard-decline threshold.

Endorsements HB-104, HB-112

Schedule modification 15% 98.0% confidence. Apply +10% for turnover above 50% and +10% for each of two prior EPL claims, offset by -5% for an HR department: net +15%.

Premium

Premiums come only from the fixed pricing rules, never from the AI. A schedule modification is the percent change to the base premium for the risk's features.
