One renewal package, from arrival to a signed file
Granite Ridge Mechanical’s renewal from Ashgrove Mutual arrives on Wed 7 Oct: 142 pages, 61 forms. Their crew mobilises at the Alder Point Medical Pavilion on Mon 19 Oct, and the general contractor needs the endorsements, not only a certificate, before work starts. Here is what happens, screen by screen, in the working solution.
- 01Mon 12 Oct
The next policy that needs her, already checked
Tamsin Reyes · Senior policy checkerTamsin opens the solution on the policy that needs a checker first: Granite Ridge Mechanical, Inc., Ashgrove Mutual ACP 4418207, premium $49,870 against $48,612 quoted. It arrived Wed 7 Oct and was checked in 6 minutes. The quote sits on the left, the issued policy in the middle with a tick rail down its edge, the binder on the right.
“Work starts at Alder Point Mon 19 Oct · 7 days”
- 02Replay
The check, step by step
The agentsThe run log replays what the agents did. The policy reader read 142 pages and 61 forms and took out 186 terms with their pages. The three-way comparer matched them against quote Q-26-88140, binder BND-30412 and expiring policy ACP 4418206. The promise finder read Marla Svoboda’s renewal request of 11 Aug and the Sterling Vance subcontract’s Exhibit C: 23 promises, 4 printed nowhere.
“The promise finder fills this pile as it reads.”
- 03One click
Each difference is a tick, and a click opens all three documents
Tamsin Reyes · Senior policy checkerFinding 2 is red: the products-completed operations aggregate is $1,000,000 on page 4 of the policy, against $2,000,000 on page 6 of the quote and page 2 of the binder. Clicking the tick scrolls the quote, the policy and the binder to the same passage and highlights it in each, with a note on what differs and the proposed correction.
“The expiring policy also carried $2,000,000. Exhibit C requires $2,000,000 for three years after completion.”
- 04Promised but missing
The waiver that was quoted, bound, contracted, and never issued
Promise finderThe pile on the right holds what was promised and printed nowhere. The first slip is the CG 24 04 waiver of subrogation for Sterling Vance Construction and Alder Point Health Partners: quoted on page 11, bound on page 2, required by Exhibit C §4.3. A dashed slot marks where it should be, around page 131.
“Searched by form number (CG 24 04, CG 24 53), by title and by wording (‘transfer of rights of recovery’): no match on any page.”
- 05Our own gap
The endorsement that was never quoted
Promise finderCG 20 37, additional insured for completed operations, is in Marla’s request and Exhibit C §4.1, but it was never in the agency’s submission, so Ashgrove never quoted it. The slip is marked “Never quoted · our gap”, and the decision on it reads “Request + tell client” instead of “Correct”.
“This one is our gap: Owen needs to tell the client.”
- 06Drafted
One correction request, every item with its page
Correction drafterThe request to Helena Strand, Senior Underwriter at Ashgrove Mutual, lists 10 of the 11 findings, each with the page in the policy, the quote and the binder, effective 1 Oct 2026, reply needed by Fri 16 Oct. Tamsin accepted the CG 20 10 edition as issued, with the reason on the file: 04 13 is Ashgrove’s filed edition in Colorado and has the same effect for ongoing operations.
“Removing terrorism coverage returns the premium to the $48,612 quoted.”
- 07Sent
The carrier gets the request, the client gets the truth
Owen Marchetti · Account managerTamsin sends the 10 items to Ashgrove and the client note to Owen. The note tells Marla Svoboda what was found, that Ashgrove has been asked to fix it by Friday, and that one item, CG 20 37, was the agency’s own miss. Owen approves it, and it goes to Marla.
“We will send the endorsements to Sterling Vance before you mobilise on the 19th.”
- 08Signed
A checked file, with nothing hidden
Tamsin Reyes · Senior policy checkerThe policy file shows the 12 areas checked, from named insureds to changes from the expiring policy, each with its page and outcome: 2 clean, 10 with findings. Tamsin signs as checker. The file is signed with 10 corrections open, and each stays on the E&O log until Ashgrove’s endorsement arrives.
“Checked and signed with 10 corrections open · each stays on the E&O log until Ashgrove’s endorsement arrives”
- 09Every Monday
Every open exposure, with the date the client relies on it
Lorraine Abbott · E&O and compliance managerThe E&O log holds 47 open items on 33 policies, each with its age, its owner and the date the client relies on the coverage; 19 are relied on within 7 days. Items open over 14 days go to Lorraine every Monday. An item closes only when the endorsement arrives.
- 10Since July
Checked on arrival, and a record for the carrier meeting
Kofi Mensah · Service centre leadPolicies checked within 3 days of arrival went from 9% in April, by hand, to 99% in October, and 96% since July. The carrier view shows, for each carrier, the share of policies with a finding, the most common difference and the median days to correct.
