Consumer-speed quotes. Filed-rate discipline. Every channel.

Yes — and this is the single most important design constraint of the platform. Every rating call is routed through a filed-rate verification gateway that checks the quote against the active filing for that state, line, and effective date, and stamps the response with the rate version. Rate-drift monitors run in production and alert on distribution anomalies so drift is caught in hours, not in a market-conduct exam. We build this into the architecture from day one because filed-rate integrity is the single line a carrier cannot cross.

Yes. We build against Earnix, Guidewire Rating Management, Duck Creek Rating, Sapiens, and proprietary rating engines using REST APIs, SOAP services, and direct database bridges where an API does not exist. The platform is deliberately engine-agnostic — the filed-rate gateway sits between the quoting workflow and whichever engine owns the rate math, so you can replace or add a rating engine without replacing the quoting platform. Integration architecture is documented as part of discovery so there are no surprises at build time.

Yes. One canonical submission model and one rating spine power every channel — consumer web, agent and broker portals, comparative-rater feeds, and partner API callers. Each channel gets its own presentation and authentication posture, but they all hit the same rules engine, rating engine, and filed-rate gateway. That is what makes rate integrity possible across channels; any architecture that forks rating logic per channel is the architecture that eventually drifts.

Rating variables and any model-assisted scoring are tested against protected classes, configurable per state, and aligned with NAIC guidance on AI/ML in insurance. The system generates disparate-impact reports and explainability documentation that your compliance and actuarial teams can review before filing. We focus on explainable rules and model outputs so every rating decision can be traced to its inputs — no black-box rating. We are not regulatory counsel and recommend your compliance team sign off on final filings and model documentation.

A custom quoting platform covering multi-channel intake, rules, rate gateway, comparison, and a bind workflow typically takes 18–30 weeks from kickoff to first production line-of-business go-live, depending on the number of channels, lines, states, and integrations in phase one. Investment typically ranges from $200,000 to $750,000 for a full custom build. We deliver in phases — the highest-priority line and channel go live first, so your team sees operational impact before the full platform is complete.

Yes — this is the default approach, not an option. Big-bang multi-state, multi-line quoting launches are a well-known failure mode, and we design against them. Each line, each state, and each channel is a configuration unit with its own rate-deck binding, eligibility rules, and filing trail. Once the core platform is live, adding a state is typically a configuration and filing exercise of a few weeks, and adding a line is 4–8 weeks of configuration plus integration testing — not a platform rebuild.
