Pre-Check: Your SOV Data Health Inspection

4 min read
July 26, 2024

Just as a regular checkup ensures our physical well-being, a thorough review of your client's Statement of Values (SOV) ensures the health of their property data. Brokers are taking a step towards ensuring client data health and improving entire portfolios by adding cutting-edge AI tools, such as Pre-Check, to their toolkit.

There’s No Better Time than Now for Pre-Check

Don't procrastinate or wait around – data health should be prioritized now to avoid any data health scares during renewal season. Now is the perfect time to take a temperature check on your data before starting your submission. Pre-Check acts as a meticulous health inspection, giving you a clear regimen to achieve better data – a prescription for improvement.

Brokers: The Doctors of Data Quality

Pre-Check prepares SOV data insights for you, so you can spend more time on strategic advisory, ensuring that if the modeling results come out unusual, you can drill down to specific attributes and identify discrepancies. This assessment of your client's SOV health is vital for preparing accurate and compelling submissions.

Pinpoint and Prioritize Improvements

Pre-Check is an essential health check that helps your customers understand where to focus their efforts to improve submission results. Here is how it works.

Step 1: Get a Live Assessment of Data Health

Just like a health checkup, your data assessment starts with diagnostics. However, unlike blood panel tests, the result is immediate—simply drag your latest SOV into Archipelago and see where you’re at.

Step 2: Prescribe the Treatment Plan

The good news is that, regardless of where your data is right now, Archipelago’s AI can help you take it to the next level by prescribing a course of high-impact actions. And while there are hundreds of new data points, not all of them are created equal. As such, customers receive prioritized recommendations on how to improve SOV health, categorized by Total Insurable Value (TIV) and hazards. Specifically, these recommendations are designed to make the biggest impact on CAT modeling and Average Annual Losses (AALs). So, instead of filling out all the empty cells, you can focus on the ones that matter the most.

Pre-Check's dynamic reporting capabilities allow you to continuously monitor and share updates with clients. By visualizing each client's property portfolio through map views or prioritized lists of data gaps, you can effectively communicate improvements and areas needing attention. Upload inspection reports and other property documentation to keep the SOV current and accurate, ensuring you always have access to up-to-date, actionable insights.
