- Critical
No employment practices liability in place
Employment Practices LiabilityThe program has no Employment Practices Liability cover.
Recommendation
Quote Employment Practices Liability 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 146 peers in this cohort carry Employment Practices Liability.
- Material
Commercial Property retention high for the value insured
Commercial PropertyThe Commercial Property deductible is $25,000 against $2,500,000 of insured value - 1.00% - where peers retain 0.50%.

Ask the carrier to quote the peer-median retention alongside the current one. A retention this far above the market is often a leftover from a hard-market renewal that nobody went back to.

Across the 146-policy cohort the median Commercial Property deductible is 0.50% of the value insured; yours is 1.00%.
- Material
No cyber & privacy liability in place

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.

Adoption
What peers buy, and what this program has
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.
