InsightDueDiligence · Insurance due diligence on deal targets

Every policy read. Every page cited. Every finding reviewed

Nine agents read the target’s data room and what InsightPulse knows about it, reason over it with Claude and prepare the findings and the report. The engines compute every figure; every finding cites its page. Nothing reaches the buyer until a broker has reviewed it.

Program · Meridian Fieldworks
The program of an illustrative industrial target: nine policies across nine lines, $1.27M annual premium, three claims-made lines and four on the seller's program, each with carrier, limit, retention, premium, term, trigger and structure
1

The program, read from the policies

Nine policies across nine lines and $1.27M of premium, each read from the schedule and the declarations with its page. Three lines are claims-made; four sit on the seller’s master program.

Those are the lines that change at closing — so they are flagged before anyone builds a spreadsheet.

Loss runs · Meridian Fieldworks
Loss runs for an illustrative target: 21 claims over five years, $1.26M incurred, $583K paid, $679K open reserve on nine open claims, frequency up 13%, with claims by year and incurred by line
2

Five years of losses, counted by the engine

21 claims, $1.26M incurred, nine still open and frequency up 13% — by line and year, every claim read from the loss runs.

The loss run agent explains the trend; it never computes the numbers it explains.

The model explains, the engine counts
Findings · To review
Findings to review on an illustrative target: a product liability complaint with a $2.4 million demand cited to the litigation letter, and news on the target cited to InsightPulse, each with Approve, Change and Reject
3

A finding is a page, not an opinion

A $2.4M product liability demand, cited to the litigation letter; the same suit in the news, cited to InsightPulse with its as-of date. A broker approves, changes or rejects each one — only reviewed findings reach the report.

What InsightPulse knows about the target
The problem

Insurance diligence is spent re-typing, and the surprises are in the clauses

Forty documents and three weeks. The hours go into copying limits into a spreadsheet; what hurts the buyer after closing is in the declarations, the conditions and the hierarchy.

Tails

Claims-made cover that stops

D&O, E&O, cyber and EPL end or convert at closing. A claim next year for an act last year finds no policy.

Parent program

Lines that leave with the seller

Lines on the seller’s master program end at closing, and the standalone price is a number nobody modelled.

Structure

The entity nobody named

The hierarchy has an operating subsidiary that no policy names, sometimes in another country.

Hand-off

Findings re-typed into the R&W placement

The R&W team reads the report as a PDF; nobody can say which finding became which exclusion.

How an engagement works

Read → analyse → review → report → hand off

One target’s program against a 25-question playbook. Every step after Analyze is something a broker can open and check.

1

Read

The data room into page-level pieces (InsightXtract in production); InsightPulse for the company and its hierarchy.

2

The engines compute

Premium, claims by line and year, gaps against the benchmark, tails, the cost after closing.

3AI

Nine agents reason

With Claude, over their cited facts, and prepare findings and decisions.

4

Grounding check

A number not in the facts throws the answer away; the check’s own finding stands.

5

A broker reviews

Approve, change or reject each finding against its page. Controls hold the report while high findings wait.

6

Report & hand off

Built from reviewed findings only; R&W-relevant ones go, signed, to InsightDealDesk.

Rejected findings are kept on the record. Nothing is deleted: the report leaves them out, and the decision record shows who rejected what, and why.
The agents prepare; the engines compute every figure; a broker decides. Each step is traced with its model, tokens and cost.
The Diligence Workspace

One page per engagement, with the agents’ work on top

The hero says where the engagement stands — Scoping, Data room, Analysis, Review, Report, Delivered. Below it, seven zones: Findings, Program, Loss runs, Gaps & recommendations, Target 360, Documents and Report.

Findings
Findings on an illustrative industrial target: filters by review status and kind, then each finding with its severity, category, key-finding flag, summary, the document page or Pulse fact it cites, the agent's reading, and Approve, Change or Reject
Findings. Each with its severity, category, citations and the agent’s reading — approve, change or reject. Only reviewed findings reach the report.
The agents

Nine diligence agents, each with one job and a hard limit

The first seven work the playbook; each finds the facts with a check, then reasons over them with Claude. Four actions exist, and every one is capped at ask first, whatever the dial says.

Data room

The checklist: policies, five years of loss runs, contracts, a litigation letter.

Prepares the seller request

Program

Every policy into the program: lines, carriers, limits, retentions, premiums, triggers, structure.

Coverage gap

The program against the practice’s benchmark for the sector and size: missing lines, thin limits.

Loss run

Frequency and severity by line and year, open reserves, large losses, the trend.

Tail & run-off

Claims-made tails, the sellers’ D&O run-off, change-of-control clauses.

Subsidiary

InsightPulse’s hierarchy against the named insureds; company, industry, leadership.

Contingent liability

Litigation, environmental, product and warranty exposure, and whether the program responds.

Report

The program after closing; the report from reviewed findings.

Prepares delivery & the hand-off

Supervisor

Runs the engagement controls; writes the practice leader’s brief.

Prepares sign-off; never decides

Copilot

Answers questions about the engagement from eight read-only tools, with numbered sources. Never acts.

The autonomy dial

The level for any action is the lowest of three: the agent’s level, the action’s hard cap and the practice’s ceiling. The ceiling ships at L2.

L1

Draft

The agent drafts; a person does the work. Where every action starts.

Default ceilingL2

Ask first

The agent prepares the decision; a broker accepts, changes, rejects or asks.

L3

Act and tell

Acts, tells the person and lets them pull it back.

L4

Act

Acts on its own — only if the practice raises the ceiling.

The diligence copilot

Ask the engagement. Get an answer with its sources

The copilot answers from eight read-only tools on the engagement in front of you — overview, program, claims, findings, gaps, Target 360, data room search and the cost after closing — and says what the record does not hold.

  • Every figure checked against what it read; an unsupported one becomes “not in the record”
  • Only engagements in your scope
  • Suggests follow-up questions — it never takes an action
  • Facts-only mode when no model is configured, and it says so
Diligence copilot · “What are the large open losses?”
The diligence copilot on an illustrative industrial target answering what are the large open losses: one large open general liability product claim with its incurred, paid and reserve, cited to the claims history and the data room, then what the record does not say, with suggested follow-up questions
Controls

Standards a practice leader can read, and a report that waits for them

Rules Studio

Engagement controls

High findings unreviewed (block), loss runs shorter than five years (warn), claims-made cover with no tail planned and due within a week with gaps open (refer) — written, tested on a real engagement and versioned.

Decision record

Signed, in order

Every control run, finding review and answer to a prepared decision, with who signed it. Runs are appended, never overwritten.

Stage machine

No shortcuts

No Analysis without documents, no Report with high findings pending, no Delivered without a final report and with a blocking control firing.

Rules Studio
The Rules Studio on illustrative data: four engagement controls, all published, 13 hits in 30 days, and the busiest rules with their conditions and effects
Rules Studio. The engagement controls and how often each fired — the same Studio InsightDealDesk uses for placement controls.
The connected suite

Diligence that feeds the placement

Company intelligence from InsightPulse and documents through InsightXtract in; reviewed findings out to the R&W placement in InsightDealDesk under a signed, versioned contract.

FAQ

What deal practice leaders ask first

Does an agent send anything to the seller or the client?

No. Asking the seller, delivering the report, sharing with the R&W placement and signing off are all capped at ask first. Outside production, sends are dry runs and nothing leaves the product.

What stops the model inventing a limit or a premium?

The engines compute every figure; the model only reasons over them. Any number in a model answer that is not in the facts throws the answer away, and the check’s own finding stands.

Whose benchmarks are the gaps measured against?

The practice’s. The demo ships illustrative benchmarks by sector and revenue band, uplift by program structure and tail multiples; a practice replaces them with its own.

Do we need InsightDealDesk?

No. Without it the report stands alone and the hand-off is held. With it, reviewed findings reach the R&W placement as likely exclusions without re-typing.
