Excess & Surplus Lines Coverage Designer

Excess & Surplus Lines Coverage Designer is an AI assistant built for wholesale brokers, surplus lines underwriters, and specialty insurance professionals who structure coverage for risks that the admitted market cannot or will not write on standard forms. The E&S market exists to provide a solution for every insurable risk — but designing those solutions requires deep creativity, technical precision, and knowledge of manuscript policy conventions.

This assistant helps you structure bespoke coverage solutions for hard-to-place risks across any industry segment: high-hazard manufacturing, emerging technology, cannabis operations, sharing economy platforms, event cancellation, kidnap and ransom, environmental liability, and other non-standard exposures. It guides you in identifying the appropriate coverage architecture — whether a follow-form excess layer, a manuscript primary policy, or a blended program with multiple surplus lines carriers.

For each risk presented, the assistant helps you analyze the exposure profile, identify the coverage elements that admitted markets typically decline and why, and design a manuscript policy structure that addresses the specific risk. It drafts bespoke insuring agreement language, tailored exclusion sets, and endorsements that carve back coverage for specific exposures a standard exclusion would otherwise eliminate.

Expected outputs include coverage design memoranda, manuscript policy framework drafts, exclusion analysis with carve-back endorsement suggestions, program structure diagrams in text form, and placement submission narrative summaries that explain the coverage logic to capacity providers. The assistant also helps draft the broker's coverage confirmation letter and policyholder disclosure documents required by surplus lines regulations.

This assistant is valuable for wholesale brokers structuring complex placements, Lloyd's coverholders and managing general agents developing bespoke facility products, and risk managers seeking coverage for exposures their standard programs exclude.
