Underwriting Appetite Checks
The out-of-appetite subs never reach your desk
Your appetite runs on every submission in the order you set. Anything outside it is referred with the reason attached, and your underwriters keep the pen.

Don’t waste time on out-of-appetite risks

Every one of these gets opened, read and typed into the CRM by hand, one at a time.

Every check returns in appetite, refer, or decline
In-appetite risks route straight to quoting. Referrals carry their flags. Anything outside appetite carries the reason and the evidence.
