Unite Similar Items
What It Does
Automatically identifies and groups similar coverage items across different policies, even when they’re named differently or structured differently by various carriers.Why It’s Useful
Different carriers use different terminology and structure their policies differently. One carrier might call it “General Aggregate” while another says “Aggregate Limit.” Unite Similar Items uses AI to recognize these are the same coverage and group them together.How to Use It
Review unified comparison
The AI scans all policies and:
- Identifies equivalent coverage items across policies
- Groups them together in the comparison table
- Normalizes terminology for easier understanding
- Aligns similar exclusions and endorsements
View original names
Click the dropdown icon next to unified names to see the original names that were merged.
Example Transformations
- “Bodily Injury Liability” + “BI Coverage” + “Bodily Injury” → Grouped as “Bodily Injury Liability”
- “Property Damage” + “PD Limit” → Grouped as “Property Damage Coverage”
- “General Aggregate Limit” + “Aggregate” → Grouped as “General Aggregate”
Best For
- Comparing policies from different carriers where terminology varies
- Ensuring apples-to-apples comparisons
- Making client presentations clearer and more professional
Wedge Finder
What It Does
Identifies coverage gaps, competitive advantages, and opportunities where one policy provides better protection than another - these are called “wedges.”Why It Matters
Wedges are your selling points. They show clients where their current policy falls short and why switching carriers (or adding coverage) makes sense. This tool automatically finds these opportunities.How to Use It
Review identified wedges
The AI analyzes both policies and identifies:
- Coverage gaps - Where one policy lacks coverage the other provides
- Limit differences - Where coverage amounts vary (higher or lower)
- Exclusion mismatches - Where one policy has fewer exclusions
- Additional benefits - Extra features or services in one policy
- Cost differences - Premium variances relative to coverage changes
What You’ll See
Each wedge is displayed as a wedge card containing:- Impact rating - High, Medium, or Low priority
- Description - What the wedge is and why it matters
- Recommendation - Suggested talking points for client conversations
- Dollar impact - If quantifiable (e.g., $1M higher aggregate limit)
Example Wedges Found
HIGH PRIORITY: Cyber Coverage Gap
HIGH PRIORITY: Cyber Coverage Gap
Wedge: Proposed policy includes Cyber Liability coverage ($1M limit) while incumbent has no cyber coverage.Why it matters: Without cyber coverage, client is exposed to data breach costs, business interruption, and regulatory fines.Talking point: “Your current policy doesn’t include cyber coverage. With the increasing risk of data breaches, this $1M cyber liability coverage in the new policy protects you from potentially devastating financial losses.”
MEDIUM PRIORITY: Lower Deductible
MEDIUM PRIORITY: Lower Deductible
Wedge: Proposed policy has lower Professional Liability deductible (10K).Why it matters: Lower out-of-pocket costs for each claim.Talking point: “The new policy cuts your deductible in half, from 5,000, reducing your out-of-pocket expense for each claim.”
HIGH PRIORITY: Terrorism Coverage
HIGH PRIORITY: Terrorism Coverage
Wedge: Incumbent policy excludes terrorism, proposed includes it at no additional cost.Why it matters: Terrorism exclusions leave clients unprotected for covered losses caused by terrorism acts.Talking point: “Your current policy excludes terrorism coverage. The new policy includes it at no extra cost, providing crucial protection in today’s environment.”
