Work with us

Start with an E&S program your team already runs.

Bring the disconnected spreadsheets and policy-system customizations that make pricing difficult. We scope a pilot around your underwriting workflow, with General Liability, Commercial Property, Commercial Auto, Inland Marine, and follow-form Excess Casualty as our product focus.

Fork and build

Your version. Your roadmap.

CovCloud is delivered through a fork-and-build model, not as SaaS. Start with your own copy of the workbench codebase and adapt it to your products, raters, and underwriting workflows.

Updates are your choice.

As CovCloud evolves, you choose whether to bring changes into your version. You control testing and release timing, so your roadmap moves on your schedule.

You will never be forced to adopt a new CovCloud version.

Tools to help your team maintain and extend it.

The workbench comes with documentation and tools for AI-assisted development, giving your technology team context to adapt the existing foundation to your business.

Your team and implementation partners direct changes, test premium results, and decide what goes into production. Defined tool permissions, automated tests, and human review support that work.

What to agree before committing.

The pilot scope should make the investment, your team’s commitment, and the ongoing responsibilities clear. Agree these for your program before work begins.

Scope and evidence: Agree the product and transaction cases, what can be demonstrated for your workflow, and what needs configuration or integration. Set acceptance measures against your current process.
Budget and timeline: Define the pilot fee, delivery milestones, dependencies, and time needed from your reviewers and technology team. Include setup, integration, and the cost of the next change in the business case.
Codebase and licensing: Agree the rights to use and modify your copy of the workbench, the delivery contents, and the terms for future updates.
Hosting and ongoing support: Name the owners for hosting, operations, security updates, maintenance, and support. Define the responsibilities of your team, implementation partners, and CovCloud.

Scope the pilot

Choose an existing E&S program and the new-business, renewal, and endorsement cases that matter to your team. Agree the rater, pricing-model connection, comparison records, policy-system handoff, and acceptance measures.

A written scope with success measures agreed up front.

Run it with your team

Your underwriting, actuarial, and product reviewers bring the source material, expected results, and agreed review time. We connect your rater, configure the agreed negotiated pricing rules and customer-model factors, and work alongside your technology team and implementation partners.

A tested result on your product, in your systems’ terms, with every premium traceable.

Decide on the evidence

Run the same representative cases through the current workflow and the pilot. Compare indication response times, underwriting effort, premium agreement, and handoff discrepancies, including setup and integration. Measure one subsequent change to see whether reuse reduces total effort.

A business case in your numbers, and a clear decision about whether to continue.

What a pilot asks of you.

An agreed program scope, access to its rater and representative transaction records, and participation from underwriting, actuarial, and technology owners. Together we define the policy-system connection and the review effort needed.

Bring the messy version: the spreadsheets, the customizations, and the reconciliations nobody wants to own.

Who we work with.

Carriers and MGAs bring the product knowledge and the business decisions. We bring rating, pricing, and integration expertise to the conversation with your technology team and implementation partners.

Systems integrators and rating-platform providers can also bring a shared customer problem, with clear responsibilities at the interface.

What to have ready for a first conversation

The product or line of business involved.
The policy systems, raters, and spreadsheets in use.
The work your team repeats or struggles to reconcile.
The result that would make a pilot worthwhile.
