- Critical
No inland marine in place
Inland MarineThe program has no Inland Marine cover.
Recommendation
Quote Inland Marine at the cohort's median limit and price it into the renewal. Going without it puts this account well outside how its peers are built.
Peer evidence
73% of the 62 peers in this cohort carry Inland Marine.
- Critical
No workers compensation with employees on payroll
Workers CompensationThe program shows no workers compensation cover while the business reports 18 employees.
Recommendation
Bind statutory workers compensation and employers liability before the next payroll run. In most states this is a legal requirement above a low headcount threshold, and an uninsured claim is a personal exposure for the owner.
Peer evidence
92% of the 62 peers in this cohort carry Workers Compensation.
- Material
No commercial property in place
Commercial PropertyThe program has no Commercial Property cover.
Recommendation
Put Commercial Property on the renewal agenda. Enough comparable accounts buy it that the decision should be a documented one rather than an omission.
Peer evidence
48% of the 62 peers in this cohort carry Commercial Property.
- Material
No employment practices liability in place
Employment Practices LiabilityThe program has no Employment Practices Liability cover.
Recommendation
Put Employment Practices Liability on the renewal agenda. Enough comparable accounts buy it that the decision should be a documented one rather than an omission.
Peer evidence
45% of the 62 peers in this cohort carry Employment Practices Liability.
- Advisory
Commercial Auto limit below the peer median
Commercial AutoThe program carries $1,000,000 of Commercial Auto, at the 30th percentile of peers who carry the line.
Recommendation
Worth an option at $2,000,000 on the renewal so the client can price the difference themselves.
Peer evidence
Peer median Commercial Auto limit in this cohort is $2,000,000.
- Advisory
No cyber & privacy liability in place
Cyber & Privacy LiabilityThe program has no Cyber & Privacy Liability cover.
Recommendation
Put Cyber & Privacy Liability on the renewal agenda. Enough comparable accounts buy it that the decision should be a documented one rather than an omission.
Peer evidence
29% of the 62 peers in this cohort carry Cyber & Privacy Liability.
- Advisory
No professional liability (e&o) in place
Professional Liability (E&O)The program has no Professional Liability (E&O) cover.
Recommendation
Put Professional Liability (E&O) on the renewal agenda. Enough comparable accounts buy it that the decision should be a documented one rather than an omission.
Peer evidence
35% of the 62 peers in this cohort carry Professional Liability (E&O).
- Advisory
No umbrella / excess liability in place
Umbrella / Excess LiabilityThe program has no Umbrella / Excess Liability cover.
Recommendation
Put Umbrella / Excess Liability on the renewal agenda. Enough comparable accounts buy it that the decision should be a documented one rather than an omission.
Peer evidence
37% of the 62 peers in this cohort carry Umbrella / Excess Liability.
Current versus proposed
This program rebuilt at peer-median limits
Every figure below is repriced from the same peer cohort the benchmark used. The comparison runs in both directions: a program carrying too little cover reprices upward, and that is the correct answer.
Modelled figures, not carrier quotes
Modelled by repricing this program at peer-median limits using peer-median premiums from the same cohort. These are modelled figures from a synthetic corpus, not carrier quotes. Nothing here has been submitted to a market.

Total limits add up each line’s own limit. Coverage lines do not stack in a claim, so this is not one tower of cover.

73% of the 62 peers in this cohort carry Inland Marine at a median limit of $250,000 for a median premium of $4,120; this program carries none. | ||||
A difference in parentheses is that line as a share of its own current premium. Lines added to the program have no current premium, so they show a dollar figure only.

Sorted by peer adoption. A tall hollow bar is a line most of the cohort carries and this account does not.
Data provenance
Peer figures come from a synthetic corpus of 11,000 modelled policies. They are not market data: no carrier, filing, bordereau or real policy is represented here. The corpus is generated by a documented model (seed 20260826) that varies adoption, limits, premiums and deductibles by NAICS sector, revenue band and state, weighted toward Florida and the South Atlantic. It is built to be internally coherent and byte-for-byte reproducible so the analysis behaves the way it would on real data - but every peer statistic on this page is modelled. Replace this corpus with bordereau or rating-bureau data before quoting any figure to a client.
