◑ Operator Outcomes

More speed, more confidence, less operational drag.

Decision velocity

Queue prioritization, SLA pressure, and recommendation quality are surfaced before underwriters open a blank thread.

ACTION FIRST

Risk transparency

Every major claim in the memo is source-backed, so reviewers can validate quickly instead of auditing from scratch.

CITED OUTPUT

Portfolio discipline

Concentration and treaty pressure are evaluated during each submission, not only during end-of-week reporting.

ALWAYS-ON GUARDRAILS

◆ In days, not months

Every Vortic capability ships into your existing book on day one — no replatform, no pilot, no consultant deck.

◑ Flagship workbench capabilities

The two surfaces that change how a portfolio manager spends their morning.

Concentration and CAT response are the two outcomes that used to require a senior analyst, a spreadsheet, and a Monday-morning catch-up. Vortic surfaces both as live workbench views — every poll, every event, every bind.

◆ Concentration, surfaced

Live ZIP3 / postcode aggregation against your CAT cap.

Hex map of every active bound risk. Capital and PML estimates (OEP 1-in-100, OEP 1-in-250, AEP 1-in-10 net, S&P-A charge) re-rolled on every poll. When a ZIP3 crosses the cap, Vortic drafts a rebalance proposal — declines sorted by GWP:TSI, headroom to re-deploy elsewhere, treaty cession refreshed. Never auto-executed.

Open Concentration

◆ CAT response, in minutes

Re-score the entire book against a live hurricane in 18 minutes.

The moment a CAT event is declared, every active policy is scored against the storm track: distance to the eye, wind damage curve, surge fraction, gross loss, treaty cession, net retained. Worst-loss policies surface first. Treaty cession draft and cedent / insured letters are generated as drafts — never auto-sent.

Open CAT mode

◑ Beyond underwriting

Four more surfaces a carrier runs every day.

Claims adjudication, straight-through fast-track binding, a platform builder for integrations + master data + ontology + process discovery, and dynamic sub-agents that the pipeline spawns reflexively when a parent specialist needs a focused second opinion. Built on the same audit-grade agent fabric as underwriting.

◆ Claims & adjudication

FNOL to adjudication memo. With the audit trail every state DOI wants.

A separate top-level surface for adjusters. FNOL parser extracts claim facts from broker email or voice transcript. Coverage Analyst joins against the policy to decide covered / partial / not_covered with cited clauses. Reserve recommender + revision history. Per-adjuster payment authority gating with refer-to-senior. Statutory letters with UCSPA-compliant language for CA / FL / NY / TX. Supervisor queue and book insights.

See claims workflow

◆ Straight-Through Processing

Auto-bind the 60–80% of submissions that don't need a human.

Every submission that finishes the pipeline with all greens, within concentration cap, within pricing band, and outside hard exclusions is auto-bound — bound_risks row created, audit trail stamped, no human touch. Configurable TSI cap, required-green agents, excluded occupancies and states, pricing rate band, post-bind concentration limit. Every STP decision carries full reasons.

See pricing

◆ Platform builder

Configure the platform without a forward-deploy engineer.

Four admin surfaces: Integrations (REST / webhook / database / SFTP / stream / S3 connectors with auth + agent routing), Master Data (9 canonical lists seeded — US states, lines of business, perils, occupancy, ISO construction, treaty types, currencies, Saffir-Simpson, decision outcomes), Ontology (entities, relationships, tasks, processes — the domain model behind every agent), and Process Discovery (reads your live data to surface bottlenecks + recommend the next move).

Admin surface · enterprise tier

◆ Dynamic sub-agents

Reflexive mini-agents that spawn when a parent specialist flags something.

Define focused sub-agents the pipeline spawns dynamically: verify a postcode against FEMA, corroborate loss history against ISO ClaimSearch, look up a clause cited in a coverage memo. Five customisable categories — verification, research, synthesis, data fetch, custom. A pure-function reflexive suggester matches trigger patterns (equals · contains · regex · array_includes · truthy) against parent agent JSON and either auto-spawns or surfaces a click-to-spawn chip in the run UI. Every spawn writes a sub_agent_invocations row with parent/child trace lineage.

See sub-agent builder

◑ Built for US P&C carriers

Native to a carrier UW desk, not adapted from an MGA tool.

Multi-state filings, direct-authority bind, NAIC market-conduct posture, treaty cession across CAT XL / quota share / surplus share — every assumption that hardcodes a Lloyd's coverholder workflow has been lifted out and made line-of-business agnostic. US P&C is the default; UK Lloyd's is a configuration.

NAIC + state DOI

Rate filing + market conduct, in one audit pack.

Every memo carries the prompt version, model used, source citations, and the underwriter's rationale — exportable as a state DOI rate-and-form filing review packet, an NAIC market-conduct response, or an internal audit log. The trace log is the single source of truth.

Multi-state P&C

Filed-rate adequacy, by state.

Submission-vs-appetite scoring runs against your filed appetite per state. Technical-vs-filed deviation is flagged before bind so an admitted carrier doesn't accidentally cross a CA Prop 103 prior-approval threshold or trigger a NY informational refiling.

Direct authority

Full carrier UW bind, not coverholder gating.

Bind authority lives with your underwriters. No "exceeds delegated authority" referral hardcoded into the workflow — replaced with your own bind-authority limits per UW, per line, per state. Configurable per role.

Treaty cession

CAT XL, quota share, surplus share — all on file.

Connect your treaty programme (Carrier Treaty Hub data fabric tile, on the roadmap). Each bind shows cession + retention impact pre-bind; CAT-mode generates cedent letters and treaty notification drafts in minutes when an event is declared.

Enterprise deploy

SSO + VPC + BYOLM. Procurement-ready.

SAML / OIDC SSO with SCIM provisioning. VPC or on-premises deployment options for inference traffic to never leave your perimeter. Bring-your-own LLM across Anthropic, OpenAI, Vertex, Bedrock. SOC 2 prep + DPA + vendor due-diligence pack on day one.

Audit-grade memo

Every bind defensible without "let me pull that file".

agent_traces logs every model call (prompt version, tokens, latency, structured output) with submission lineage and the final UW decision. When NAIC or a state examiner asks "why was this risk bound", the chain reconstructs in seconds, not a week.

Why Vortic

Three things you cannot do with a spreadsheet.

Decisions in 30 seconds

Nine specialist agents fan out in parallel on every submission. Parse, risk, flood, pricing, compliance, treaty, portfolio, memo. You get a structured decision memo before the broker has refreshed their inbox.

Three views, one source of truth

Command Center is your daily view — what needs you today. Workbench is your detailed view — case files, decisions in flight, learning loops. Run Pipeline is your playground — paste a submission, run specialists, watch them stream. Same data underneath.

Compliance built in

Every agent run is traced. Every decision has a memo. Appetite, NAIC (US) / FCA (UK) checks, treaty caps and concentration alerts run on every submission — not as a quarterly audit. Your audit trail writes itself.

◑ FAQ

Questions teams ask before rollout

What problem does Vortic solve for underwriting teams?

Vortic compresses the loop between intake, analysis, and decision. Broker submissions become structured data, specialists run in parallel, and underwriters receive a cited memo in one surface where they can bind, decline, refer, and coordinate tasks.

How quickly can teams expect a full analysis?

Most runs complete in tens of seconds with streaming updates. The exact latency depends on submission complexity and model routing, but every stage is visible so teams understand where time is spent.

How does Vortic support compliance and audit requirements?

Every call is traced with model, prompt lineage, and output. Memo assertions are citation-backed and the final human decision is logged with context, producing an audit trail suitable for regulated review.

Can we adapt it to our own appetite and data sources?

Yes. Agent prompts, model tiers, and data-fabric connectors are configurable. Teams can add internal warehouse feeds and appetite logic while preserving the shared operational surface.
