# Underwrite with complete, defensible files

> Risk factors documented, deviations approved, and pricing rationale surviving audits years later.

**Track:** ☂️ Insurance Operations · **Domain:** Underwriting & Service · **Level:** intermediate · **~35 min**

**Who this is for:** Claims Adjusters, Underwriters, Insurance Ops, Brokers

## When to Use This Skill

Risk factors documented, deviations approved, and pricing rationale surviving audits years later.
Use it whenever a matching task appears in conversation — the agent loads these instructions on demand.

## Steps

1. Complete the risk checklist per line; gaps documented as 'not available', not skipped
2. Every deviation from standard rates carries approver + rationale inline
3. Notes state facts and sources; opinions labeled as opinions
4. Re-underwrite triggers defined: material change events listed per policy
5. Sample own files quarterly against guidelines before audit does
6. Feed loss experience back into guideline updates formally

## Common Pitfalls

- Oral approvals living outside the file
- Renewals rolling forward without re-checking exposure changes
