01 · When to engage

The clearest signal: your broker needs answers faster than your team can assemble them.

Founders, COOs, CFOs, Heads of Ops, Legal Ops, and security owners use this when renewal is close enough to matter and the work has escaped the spreadsheet. The score review is designed to decide fit quickly, not drag you into a sales cycle.

T-01

Premium shock is on the table

Last cycle's renewal came back 30–80% higher and nobody has a clean narrative for the carrier yet.

T-02

Broker keeps asking for "one more thing"

Evidence requests are arriving in three Slack threads, two inboxes, and a shared drive nobody owns.

T-03

Cyber application is 19 pages long

The security team has answered most of it three times across three carriers. Nothing is reusable yet.

T-04

COI requests are stacking up

Customers want certificates with specific endorsements and the turnaround is now measured in weeks.

T-05

You've changed since last bind

New product, new geography, new FTE count, new vendor, new SOC 2 — and the application doesn't reflect any of it.

T-06

The CEO is asking what we're paying for

Finance wants a one-page narrative for the board. You don't have one. Renewal is 11 weeks away.

02 · What you get

One score, one packet, six artifacts your broker can actually use.

The diagnostic is built around one concrete promise: turn scattered renewal work into a reusable operating packet before your broker/carrier submission window. Every file is plain, portable, and owned by you.

04 · Where Oread stops

Broker-friendly by design. We organize. Licensed partners place.

If you don't have a broker, we can introduce two or three from our partner network. The diagnostic stays the same either way. We never collect a commission, override, or referral fee on placement.

Oread does operations, evidence, workflow

  • Inventory current policies, COIs, endorsements
  • Build missing-materials checklist & owner assignments
  • Outline cyber/security evidence the underwriter will request
  • Stand up the broker/carrier Q&A tracker
  • Draft the executive summary and remediation calendar
  • Sit in on broker calls as the prep/operations seat

Licensed partners do placement, advice, bind

  • Recommend coverage forms, limits, retentions, endorsements
  • Negotiate premium, terms, and conditions with carriers
  • Interpret policy language and exclusions
  • Quote, bind, and issue policies and COIs
  • Provide claims advocacy and coverage opinions
  • Anything the carrier, regulator, or your GC would call "advice"

Renewal narrative — draft for CEO/CFO

Northwind's 2026 renewal lands against a hardening cyber market and a 38% revenue growth year. The story for underwriters is: headcount up 41%, MFA coverage now 98% (was 71%), SOC 2 Type II completed Q4, zero material incidents. Two open exposures — overseas FTE expansion (UK, 14 heads) and a new third-party data processor — require coverage-sensitive review by licensed partner before submission.

By the numbers

  • PREM-25$487,200 total annualized premium across 7 policies
  • CHG-YoY+22% headline rate increase priced by incumbent carriers
  • EVID62% of cyber evidence packet ready · 11 items open

06 · Is this for you?

Best fit if you can say yes to most of these.

The first step is just a short email. Send your renewal month, policy types, and the biggest thing slowing the renewal down.

Most teams we work with are 50-500 FTE, somewhere between Series B and pre-IPO, with renewal somewhere on the calendar in the next four months. They've outgrown the spreadsheet and don't have a dedicated insurance hire yet.

Probably not a fit if your renewal is more than six months away, you need coverage advice rather than operations help, or you only need a certificate of insurance issued.

Fit criteria

  • 50–500 employees, primarily knowledge-work / SaaS / fintech / health-tech
  • Renewal date 60–180 days out (sweet spot: 90–120)
  • You carry at least one of: commercial GL, D&O, Cyber, E&O, Crime, EPL
  • You already have a broker (or want intros to ours)
  • Someone internally can spend ~4–6 hours coordinating
  • You can share current policies and a recent application under NDA

Get a yes/no readiness score before the chase starts.

Send the renewal month, policies in scope, and the biggest renewal headache. We reply with a quick fit read and a plain next step. If the diagnostic is not useful, we say that plainly.
