Atlas Professional Lines
“We write complex D&O and E&O risks where a missed detail — a securities claim exclusion, an SEC investigation — can blow your loss ratio. Orb catches the things that slip through when your team is under pressure. The ROI was visible inside the first month.”
Where manual underwriting broke down
Atlas Professional Lines specializes in management liability: D&O, E&O, and EPLI for mid-market companies. Their underwriters needed to cross-reference SEC EDGAR filings, OFAC sanction lists, D&B credit data, and internal loss history for every account. A single missed disclosure in a publicly-traded D&O risk had cost the book $2.4M the prior year. The compliance review process was taking two underwriters full-time, preventing growth.
How Orb changed the workflow
Atlas integrated Orb with their existing portal feed, enabling the system to run automatic SEC EDGAR checks, OFAC screening, D&B firmographic pulls, and prior-loss pattern analysis in parallel with every new submission. The compliance agent flags adverse disclosures, securities investigations, and sanctions matches in the decision memo. Underwriters receive a structured risk summary with direct citations to source documents — no manual research required.
Measurable impact in 30 days
In the six months after deployment, Atlas saw their professional lines loss ratio improve from 58% to 52% — a 6-point improvement attributed primarily to better identification of adverse disclosure risks during underwriting. The compliance catch rate improved from 71% (manual review) to 94% (Orb-assisted). Each underwriter now handles 2.3x more submissions per day. The freed capacity allowed Atlas to launch a new tech E&O product without hiring additional underwriters.
