AppetiteMap AI — Carrier Appetite Matching for Commercial Insurance Brokers

AppetiteMap AI is a carrier-appetite matching tool built for commercial insurance brokers and agencies who place hard-to-place risks. In the insurance market, "appetite" refers to the specific classes of business, geographies, exposure types, and coverage limits a carrier is currently willing to underwrite. Carrier appetite shifts constantly — markets open and close lines of business, tighten or relax guidelines, and place moratoriums on entire regions after catastrophes. Brokers today track this through stale PDF appetite guides, cold-calling underwriters, and memory. AppetiteMap AI replaces that guesswork with a structured, auditable matching workflow.

A broker enters a risk profile — the insured's business description, NAICS code, state of operation, exposure types (General Liability, Property, Auto, Workers' Compensation, Umbrella, E&O), annual revenue, payroll, fleet size, and coverage need. AppetiteMap AI then maps that risk against known carrier appetite guidelines and returns a transparent market-fit result: Preferred, Possible, Restricted, or Refer. Every result carries full source provenance — where the guideline came from, when it was dated, what version, and its review state — so a broker can trust and verify each match before acting on it. No result is a black-box label; every fit status comes with a human-readable rationale explaining the match.

The platform is built for wholesale brokers, retail agents, and managing general agents (MGAs) who need to move submissions quickly without wasting time on markets that will decline. It is designed around transparency and compliance: sample and demo data is always clearly labeled, no automated pricing or binding is performed, and every sensitive action — source ingestion, search, match result, user review, route-to-submission, risk profile creation, and evaluation runs — is recorded in an immutable audit trail. AppetiteMap AI is a decision-support tool, not a replacement for the underwriter's judgment. It points brokers toward possible routes for further review; it never fabricates quotes or claims a market will bind.

When a broker finds an eligible market-fit result, they can route it to a draft submission, preserving the original risk profile and matching rationale. This creates a defensible, auditable record of how every placement decision was made — which carrier was considered, why it was a fit, and what source backed that conclusion. The goal is a faster, more honest path from submission to market, and to give agencies a compliant record of how every placement decision was made.
