How it works
Two PDFs in, cited flags out.
Most comparisons finish in one to two minutes. Here’s what happens in that time.
- 01
Upload two PDFs
Pick what you're comparing (expiring vs. renewal, or binder/quote vs. issued policy) and upload both documents. Carrier PDFs, password-protected-for-editing PDFs and scans all work.
- 02
Each document is read separately
Renewal Check reads each policy's declarations, schedules and forms list and pulls out the commercial property fields listed below. Each value is saved with the page it was found on. If a field can't be read confidently, it's marked “not found / needs review” rather than guessed.
- 03
Citations are checked
For digital PDFs, every extracted value is checked against the text of its cited page. If a value can't be found on that page, the flag says so. Scanned pages can't be checked this way and are marked “scan – check page.”
- 04
The two documents are compared by rules, not by AI
The comparison itself is fixed, rule-based logic: same inputs, same flags, every time. Locations are matched even when they've been renumbered, and form numbers are compared edition by edition.
- 05
You review the flags
Flags are sorted by severity, and each one shows the value and page from both documents. Review each one against the policy, then export the list to CSV for the client file.
Fields compared
- Named insured
- Policy period
- Locations and buildings
- Limits
- Deductibles
- Coinsurance
- Valuation
- Causes of loss form
- Forms and endorsements schedule
- Additional insureds and mortgagees
Severity
- High
- Likely to change what the client is covered for: a coverage, location or mortgagee missing from the second document, a lower limit, a higher deductible, a new wind or other catastrophe deductible, or a change in valuation, causes of loss or coinsurance.
- Medium
- Worth confirming with the carrier or client: added or removed forms, changed deductible terms, address changes, and anything found in only one document.
- Low
- Usually routine but still different: form edition updates, limit increases, premium changes, added interests.
What it doesn’t do
- It doesn’t replace a full policy check. It can miss discrepancies, especially in endorsement wording.
- It doesn’t give coverage advice or say whether a change is acceptable for your client.
- It covers commercial property only. Package, GL, auto and personal lines aren’t supported yet.
