AI FOR COMMERCIAL INSURANCE UNDERWRITING

From submission to bindable decision, compressed.

Every commercial submission arrives as a mess of ACORDs, loss runs, subcontracts, safety manuals, and broker emails — and underwriters spend 1-2+ hours per submission wrangling it before making a single decision. Speed to Market AI compresses that to 10-15 minutes.

What took an hour now takes ten minutes.

It's the work that happens before any decision — document wrangling, extraction, guideline checks, workbook prep, email drafting. None of it judgment. All of it the bottleneck.

BEFORE
1–2+ hrs
Per submission. Document extraction, underlying review, exposure review, loss history review. Most of it clerical. None of it decisions.
  • Hunt for the documents in a 20+ attachment broker email
  • Open every PDF, Excel, and Word doc manually
  • Copy-paste fields into the rating
  • Cross-check guidelines one operation at a time
  • Draft the referral email from scratch hoping you covered what the reviewer wants to see
AFTER
10–15 min
Review & decide. The brief is already on your desk — structured, cited, audit-logged. You spend time on the judgment, not the clerical.
  • Full Excel pack + summary email delivered by 8am
  • Every field tied to source document, page, and line
  • Guideline stance flagged (Prohibited / Restricted / Referral)
  • Referral email auto-drafted for all levels of underwriters
  • Human-in-the-loop QA logged with who reviewed it

Why it matters at renewal cycles. Broker’s #1 complaint every 1/1, 4/1, 7/1, 10/1 is turnaround. At peak volume the fastest quote wins. At off-peak the saved hours are redeployed into the exceptions that actually need human judgment.

The compounding advantage. AI works twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. It doesn’t take sick days. It doesn’t burn out, it doesn’t complain no matter how busy the season. It doesn’t need months of ramp-up to learn a new line of business or a new appetite — a prompt edit and it’s ready the same day. Applied consistently across a book, its accuracy holds steadier than a rotating team working across time zones, and every submission it processes sharpens the next one rather than adding to attrition risk. Humans still own the judgment. AI owns the repetition.

Three systems. One unbroken chain.

Drop the broker email into the queue. The platform reads the packet, organizes thousands of pages into the few dozen that matter, and fills out the underwriting system with exposures, fleet breakdowns, underlying limits, premiums — everything. You make the decisions: price, forms, terms.

24 modules. Three parallel waves. Watch them finish.

Each module is a specialist — ACORD reader, loss history extractor, subcontract agreement parser, GL/AL quote analyzer, and many more. They fire in parallel the second the submission lands, each citing the exact source page it pulled from. By the time you take a few sips of your coffee, the entire packet has been read and verified.

  • 24 specialist modules · 3 parallel waves
  • Page-level source citations on every extraction
  • Self-verification loop per module
  • Under 150 seconds total runtime
47 docs · 3,127 pages · 150 seconds end-to-end
02 · The File Manager

Every page tagged. Every category colored to only the relevant pages. Every override remembered.

12 built-in categories color-code the entire packet — Loss History in red, Applications in green, Underlying in yellow, the rest matching the real-world doc taxonomy you already use. Thumbnails let you scan a 3,000-page submission visually in seconds down to only the pages needed. Manual renames stick across runs — rename anything once and the override persists.

  • 12 color-tagged categories · automatic routing
  • Per-page thumbnails with full OCR
  • Full-text search across every document
  • Manual renames persist forever

Quote / Refer / Decline Referral Email Audit-Logged

Built for the realities of commercial insurance — across every line.

GL, Auto, Workers' Comp, Excess. Speed to Market AI was built by an underwriter who has sat in the clearance seat, the assistant seat, and the underwriter seat — across every stage of the commercial intake funnel. The use cases below are just examples but can do way more.

The morning deliverable: a decision-ready brief on every submission.

AI agents run overnight against every submission in the queue. By the time the underwriter opens the laptop, a fully structured queue and summary email are waiting — strengths, exposures, class codes, limits, loss trends, guideline flags, open items. No more 7am document triage.

  • Before: 1-2+ hours of extraction and file prep per submission
  • After: 10-15 minute review of a structured brief
  • Human-in-the-loop QA at 100% at launch; fast-pass at ~10% of prior effort
  • Every field tied back to the source document, page, and line
Guideline adherence trending to 98%+.

Every submission cross-referenced against your underwriting guide. Prohibited, Restricted, and Referral classifications flagged with verbatim citation. The compliance team gets pre-bind flags in real time — no more post-audit surprises.

  • Every operation and state cross-referenced against your guide
  • Guideline stance: Prohibited / Restricted / Referral
  • Verbatim citation of the conflict — defensible at audit
  • Aggregates to portfolio-level adherence scorecard for leadership
Risk transfer you can actually defend at claim.

Subcontractor agreements, vendor contracts, lease agreements — the contracts that determine whether losses flow down or stay with your insured. The platform extracts every risk-transfer provision across any commercial line and flags gaps before bind.

  • Full insurance article, indemnification scope, tier limits extracted
  • Additional insured status, primary & non-contributory language verified
  • Flags when contract falls short of ISO contractual language
  • Cross-references against state anti-indemnity statutes
Loss history, decoded in minutes.

Loss runs arrive in every format carriers can produce. The platform normalizes GL, Auto, WC, and Umbrella claims into a single structured view — with penetration analysis, severity trending, and fraud/edit detection built in.

  • Parses loss runs from 40+ carrier formats (table, transaction, block, scanned)
  • Individual claim detail for every loss above your threshold
  • Penetration analysis at primary / $2M / $5M attachment candidates
  • Fraud, edit, and data-quality flags surfaced separately

Built for underwriters. By an underwriter.

Generic AI underwriting tools built by ex-Google ML teams miss the texture of the job. Speed to Market AI was built by a working underwriter solving his own desk problems — 13 years across clearance, assistant, and underwriter roles. What that looks like in practice:

Most AI underwriting tools were built by engineers talking to underwriters. This one was built by the underwriter.

Speed to Market AI OURS

  • Specialty depth across GL, Auto, WC, and Excess — with line-specific knowledge (NY §240, nuclear corridors, subsidence, ALAE allocation, etc.)
  • BYO-API — bring your own Anthropic, OpenAI, or on-device LM Studio key. Your data never touches a third-party cloud
  • 10+ document formats parsed natively in-browser (PDF, DOCX, XLSX, MSG, EML, RTF, HTML, CSV)
  • Every output source-cited with automatic QC validation loop until 100% field coverage
  • System prompts are visible, editable per session — transparency, not black box
  • Live web search via Claude-native web_search tool for insured websites
  • Multi-carrier by design — not tied to any one insurer's data model

Most AI tools THEM

  • Generic commercial platforms — don't know what a §240 claim or a subsidence exclusion means
  • Isolated cloud environment — your submission data processed on vendor's infrastructure
  • Narrow document support — usually PDFs and maybe Word, limited table / spreadsheet handling
  • Outputs that sound confident but don't link back to source
  • System prompts proprietary and hidden — you can't verify or tune
  • No external data — only what the broker sent
  • Tuned to one carrier's proprietary guidelines

Security, audit, and deployment — handled.

Every question a CISO asks — answered from day one. Every question a regulator asks — logged. Built for private VPC or on-prem deployment, with SOC 2 on the roadmap and NAIC/NYDFS-aligned vendor packages ready.

IDENTITY & ACCESS
SSO · Okta / Azure AD
Role-based access with least-privilege defaults. Inherits from your existing identity layer — no parallel user system to maintain.
DATA STANCE
No training. No leakage.
Customer data never trains models by default. PII redaction at ingest. Customer-controlled retention. BYO-API keeps your data path entirely under your control.
AUDIT TRAIL
Who · when · which model · which prompt
Every output logged with model version, prompt version, reviewer sign-off, and evidence provenance. Defensible under regulatory review. Exportable for internal audit.
DEPLOYMENT
VPC · on-prem · region-pinned
Private VPC on AWS / Azure / GCP. On-premise install. Region pinning for data residency. Whatever your CISO already signed off on last year is what we deploy into.
COMPLIANCE
SOC 2 · NAIC · NYDFS
SOC 2 Type I artifacts on the near-term roadmap; Type II within the year. Vendor security package aligned to NAIC and NYDFS cybersecurity requirements.
INTEGRATIONS
Reads your stack
O365 / Exchange intake for broker emails. SharePoint, OneDrive, Box, S3 for document stores. Guidewire and Duck Creek hooks for core-system write-back.

A tool today. A platform tomorrow.

Speed to Market AI starts at the underwriting prep layer because that’s where the hours are being lost today. The arc is bigger. Three horizons, each anchored to work already in-flight.

Now
2026
The prep layer.

Live at speedtomarketai.com. Browser-based, nothing to install. Handles ACORDs, loss runs, subcontracts, vendor agreements, safety manuals, and broker emails — PDF, Excel, or Word in; full Excel pack plus summary email out. Pilot-ready today.

  • Morning underwriter brief across any commercial line
  • Guideline cross-reference with verbatim conflict citation
  • Loss history normalization across 40+ carrier formats
  • Subcontractor & vendor risk-transfer extraction
Long term
2028+
The connective tissue.

The infrastructure layer between brokers and carriers for the commercial market. Multi-carrier routing. Portfolio intelligence. Claims feedback that makes every future submission smarter than the last.

  • Multi-carrier submission triage & routing at broker firms
  • Claims intake feedback loop — closed claims re-inform exposure scoring
  • Cross-carrier portfolio intelligence (MGA / reinsurance)
  • International expansion into Lloyd’s and EU commercial markets

Each horizon is a natural extension of the underwriter workflow — not a pivot. The data you capture in the prep layer is the exact data that feeds pricing, portfolio analytics, and eventually the cross-carrier infrastructure layer. Same product, widening surface area.

What underwriting leaders are asking for.

Brokers' number one complaint every renewal cycle is turnaround. The carrier that decides fastest binds the account. We needed something that could compress the hours we were losing on prep.
Head of Underwriting ADVISOR CONVERSATION · U.S. COMMERCIAL CARRIER
What matters to my audit team isn't that AI did the work — it's that we can trace exactly which model, which prompt, which version, and which reviewer signed off on every output. That audit trail is the difference between a pilot and a real deployment.
Chief Underwriting Officer ADVISOR CONVERSATION · SPECIALTY BOOK
My clearance and assistant team was drowning in the same three documents they extract every day. Automating that didn't eliminate the team — it freed them to handle the 15% of exceptions that actually need human judgment.

Justin Wray

Built by someone who has done every job it automates.

Justin Wray, CPCU has spent 13 years in underwriting — ground-up, from a clearance seat to Executive Casualty Underwriter — plus 5 years applying AI to underwriting workflows and guideline automation. He carries the CPCU designation (completed 2024), the industry’s gold-standard technical credential. Every module on this platform automates a task Justin personally performed thousands of times. Nothing ships until it would survive his own audit.

He is already leading AI underwriting work at his carrier: machine-learning models for operational summaries and exposure identification, automated business classification, and contract interpretation for indemnification, hold-harmless, and subcontractor limits. Speed to Market AI is the productization of those patterns — hardened for any carrier.
