The problem

Why it matters

Referrals travel by email with half the facts; seniors re-read the submission, broker deadlines slip, and the reasons behind a decision are rarely on file for peer review.

What it does

How the solution handles it

Agents check every quote against the underwriter’s authority, write a cited referral, route it to the right referrer, watch the broker’s deadline and record the decision with its reasons. A senior underwriter approves, declines or adds conditions; every exception stays on file for peer review.

How it works

How a referral moves

Five agents check authority, write the referral, route it, watch the broker’s deadline and record the reasons; a senior underwriter approves, declines or adds conditions.

What it changes

The difference, in numbers.

Every figure is labelled: a target the solution is built to, an estimate, a typical published result, or a proven one.
