Commercial lines research

Know what a business actually does.

A quote or application tells you how a business describes itself. Underwriter Mind searches its public digital footprint — website, reviews, permits, social profiles — and reports the operations it actually finds, each with a source link and a confidence score.

Delivered as a PDF to your inbox, usually within a few minutes.

Every finding is cited

The report has three parts: the operations found, the ones that carry different exposure than the stated class, and a transparent list of every source checked, including the ones that turned up nothing. See a full sample report.

Increased exposure considerations

Operations that carry a different liability, regulatory, or severity profile than the stated classification are called out separately, with the reasoning written out: suspension modification at a tire shop, off-premises catering at a bar, meal service to infants at a child care center, excavation inside an electrical account, and so forth.

How it works

Submit the risk, and the research runs on its own.

1

You submit the risk

Business name, primary city and state, and the trade as written on the quote or application. Add the website if you have it.

2

Its digital footprint is searched

The risk's own site and service pages, review platforms, permitted work, and more, all matched to that specific business and location rather than a namesake elsewhere.

3

You receive a cited PDF

Operations with confidence scores, exposure considerations, and a citation behind every claim so you can check the evidence yourself.

What gets checked

Every source is listed in the report whether it produced anything or not, so you can see what was searched rather than only what was found.

What it does not do

This is a research tool, not an underwriting decision. It reports operations and cites them. It does not verify licensure or compliance, does not recommend coverage, and does not tell you whether to write the account.

Run one on an account you already know

The quickest way to judge the report is to run it on a risk you have already researched yourself, then compare what it found against what you knew.
