Protect Your Book from the Start: Accurate Underwriting with URI’s AVP Process
Mistakes, misrepresentations, and coaching affect a significant portion of new business during the policy-writing phase. Whether it's a knowledgeable policyholder, an agent tweaking information to secure the deal, or an honest error during data entry, rating inaccuracies do occur. URI’s AVP process is built to capture accurate information early—during the initial underwriting review period—when there’s still time to properly price the policy or step away from the risk before it’s bound.
Strategic Underwriting Starts with Accurate Data
In an insurance market defined by rapid change and increasing competition, data-driven decision-making is no longer optional—it’s essential. Executives understand that profitability hinges not only on growth, but on the quality and precision of that growth. Robust information-gathering programs are critical across the entire policy lifecycle, especially during the early stages of underwriting when strategic decisions are made.
New business typically operates at a loss for the first three years, placing immediate pressure on margins. At the same time, industry research shows that over 33% of auto policies are underpriced due to inaccurate rating and misclassification—issues that directly impact combined ratios and long-term portfolio performance.
To stay competitive and profitable, it’s imperative to ensure risks are accurately rated and classified from the outset. Leveraging early-stage underwriting tools—like URI’s AVP process—gives your team the insight needed to either price policies correctly or exit unfavorable risks before binding.
The result? Stronger portfolios, improved loss ratios, and a more sustainable path to growth.

Clean Data In, Smarter Decisions Out
URI’s Information Support Center Team ensures the integrity of your new business pipeline by verifying and validating key data on all—or selected—new business applications. Verified insights are returned to your team, enabling any necessary corrections before the policy enters your system. This front-end quality control ensures that policies begin clean, accurate, and ready for efficient processing.
Only applications with material discrepancies or updated information are escalated to underwriting—streamlining your workflow and allowing your underwriters to focus on decisions that truly impact risk and profitability.
