AI does the heavy lifting, people stay in charge
Classify submitted material, extract candidate fields and draft clarification questions. Deterministic rules test required fields and formats. Keep uncertain extraction visible and preserve the original statement. Do not infer missing material facts.
What your team sees
Key screens: Renewal calendar, client checklist, broker review. Give submitters a mobile-friendly step-by-step form with document uploads and a visible completeness checklist. Staff see a queue with missing items and extracted fields. Place the original document beside each uncertain value. Show submitted, clarification required and ready-for-review states. In this product, the first view is renewal calendar, followed by client checklist and broker review.
Accounts and administration
Secure uploads, configurable checklists, progress saving, duplicate handling, reviewer assignments, clarification threads, deadlines and submission history.
Integrations and data access
Broker-approved policy documents, case records and carrier requirements. Case management, customer records, document storage and notification systems. Begin with an exportable review pack before automating destination writes. These are candidate integration categories, not verified supported connectors.
How we build it
We build with our own AI software development factory, so most implementations take days to a few weeks of creation time, not months. You see working software at every step, and exact timing depends on availability.

Why we start with an MVP
An MVP, or minimum viable product, is the smallest version that your users can actually work with. It is not a cheap version of the full solution. It is a test, built to answer the questions that decide whether the rest is worth building.
- Pick the riskiest assumption. Here: will independent commercial insurance brokers use it to solve "renewals involve repetitive document collection and missing details"?
- Build only what tests it. One team, one use case, a few core modules. People do the rest by hand for now.
- Run a paid pilot. Process a bounded set of historical and new submissions.
- Measure, then decide. Track complete renewals and preparation hours. Then expand, change course or stop, with evidence instead of opinions.
MVP scope for this solution. Begin with independent commercial insurance brokers and one recurring use case. Build the first two modules: collect current schedules; extract expiry dates. Provide operator assistance for the third module: request changed exposures. Deliver broker-reviewed renewal document pack through a manual review queue. Perform other necessary full-scope functions manually during the pilot. Include all applicable access, accuracy and professional-review controls from the start.
After the MVP. After paid pilots establish value, automate the remaining modules: identify missing documents; compare prior submissions; assemble renewal packs. Add one validated source integration, reusable customer configuration and recurring delivery. Expand to additional teams, document formats or languages only after testing the new scope.
What the build depends on. Secure upload handling, reliable extraction, versioned completeness rules, submitter identity and staff routing. Third-party checklist changes require maintenance.

Broker renewal preparation for independent commercial insurance brokers. A client-friendly collection process tailored to one commercial insurance niche. Demonstrate the claim through a complete anonymized renewal pack.

Lead magnet
A complete anonymized renewal pack
The first 30 days
- Week 1: interview five prospective buyers in this segment: independent commercial insurance brokers. Ask to see a recent example of the problem and their current process.
- Week 2: prepare this demonstration using authorized or synthetic material: a complete anonymized renewal pack.
- Week 3: present it through broker associations and seek one narrowly scoped paid pilot.
- Week 4: review complete renewals, preparation hours, total delivery effort and a concrete renewal decision before increasing scope.
Paid pilot
Process a bounded set of historical and new submissions. Include missing, duplicate and unreadable documents. Compare complete submissions and clarification effort with the current intake method. For this solution, use policy schedules, client updates and renewal checklists and evaluate broker-reviewed renewal document pack. Agree success thresholds with the buyer before starting; collect a baseline for complete renewals, preparation hours. A positive signal is payment and repeat use with acceptable quality and delivery cost, not a favorable demo reaction alone.
Success metrics
Complete renewals, preparation hours
Retention and expansion
Review incomplete submissions and simplify recurring friction. Expand to another form or document family after the first workflow reliably produces review-ready cases.
Why clients would pick it
Document-type expertise, tested completeness rules and a low-friction client experience embedded in a repeat administrative process. For this solution, build around a client-friendly collection process tailored to one commercial insurance niche. This advantage requires execution and accumulated customer trust; the base model alone is not a defensible asset.
Alternatives and positioning
Email collection, generic web forms, spreadsheets and existing case management systems. Differentiate on this specific proposed advantage: a client-friendly collection process tailored to one commercial insurance niche. Test it against the buyer's current method on the same task. Competitor coverage and uniqueness have not been established.
Main delivery costs
Document processing, storage, exception review, support, checklist maintenance and customer-specific integration work.
Safeguards
Separate document preparation from coverage, underwriting and claims decisions. Authorized professionals review policy meaning and customer commitments. Validate source access and reviewer availability during the pilot. Maintain customer-level access, data deletion controls and a record of final approvals.
