Submissions and loss runs

Submissions underwriters can say yes to.

coverbound checks you have what the underwriter needs, reads the loss runs and drafts the submission around your client's own figures. You check every word and send it from your own email.

The Prepare submission panel checks the client's answers, five years of claims history, the schedule and the files to attach. A missing policy year is filled by importing a loss run. AI writes the presentation of the risk around merge fields, the broker accepts it, emails the submission to themselves to forward from their own mailbox, then records the three markets it went to so the chase clock starts.

Loss runs read for you

Drop in the insurer's loss run or let coverbound find it in the client's files. Every claim is checked against the page it came from before it's shown.

  • PDF, Excel, CSV or Word. Scanned copies are fine.
  • The loss run beside the claims, with each claim's row highlighted
  • Claims already on file are matched, so nothing is counted twice
  • Anything not found on the page is set aside as Could not verify
  • A year is Nil only when the loss run or the client says so

Claims commentary

Underwriting submission · Brightco

Written by AI

claims.count claims in five years, with claims.total_incurred incurred. The largest was water damage in the roaster room in 2022. [Broker to confirm: the pipework replaced since]

Check it, then accept.RewriteAccept

The words drafted. The figures from the file.

Write with AI drafts the presentation of the risk, the claims commentary and risk management. It answers common underwriter questions from the client's answers.

  • Every figure is a merge field. The AI never types one.
  • A missing fact becomes [Broker to confirm], never a guess
  • It describes the risk. Words like "well managed" or "low risk" are refused.
  • Each AI section is tinted until you accept it or rewrite it
  • Underwriter questions by class of cover, for Australia and the UK

coverbound never emails an underwriter. It sends the submission to you to forward, then keeps track of where it went.

  • Email it to me: the PDF, the files to attach and a covering note to start from
  • Or download the PDF
  • Record the markets and a copy of exactly what was sent is kept
  • Each market's chase clock starts that day. A quiet market gets a chase after 10 days.

Step by step

From the client's answers to the market.

Chase clockMarket results

The quotes that come back sit side by side with the expiring policy. Each difference cites the wording and page number.

Terms and wordingQuoted evidence
An insurer proposal form PDF is uploaded and coverbound turns it into a questionnaire, flagging one question to check.

Built not to overstate the risk

  • The AI describes the risk. It never recommends or speculates.
  • No typed figures. Values, turnover and claim totals are merge fields.
  • A missing fact is marked [Broker to confirm], never filled in.
  • Nothing goes out with an AI section unaccepted or a note left in.
  • Another market's terms can never reach an underwriter.
  • Your brokerage's approval rules apply before it goes.

Before you ask

Questions about submissions.

Does coverbound email underwriters?
No. It sends the submission to you with a covering note to start from. You forward it from your own email, so the relationship stays yours.
Can it make up figures in the submission?
No. Every amount is a merge field from the client's answers, the schedule or the claims history. Sections with typed figures or advice words are rejected.
Which loss runs can it read?
PDF, Excel, CSV or Word, scanned copies included. Up to 40 pages are read free. Longer ones use credits, only when you choose.
What if a year had no claims?
It's recorded as Nil only when the loss run says so or the client confirms it. Otherwise the year shows as missing.
Which classes of cover does it know?
Property, business interruption, liability, professional indemnity, management liability, motor, cyber and construction. Workers' compensation in Australia. Employers' liability in the UK.
