The Renewal Operations Stress Test

Carriers change appetite. Producers leave. Pricing swings in both directions. None of that is the test. The test is what your operation can do about it: shop a renewal, feed a second market, reach E&S paper, absorb a departure. Twelve questions to grade the machine, with the gaps measured in dollars.

12 questions~3 minutesNo right answers, only honest ones
First, size the book

Two numbers before we start.

These don't affect your grade. They turn your report from adjectives into dollars. Ballparks are fine.

Total commercial lines premium, all carriers.
$15M
Roughly. If you'd have to look it up, your best guess beats skipping it.
Now, how you slice it

Draw your own lines.

Small, mid market, large. Every agency draws these lines differently, and where you draw them says a lot about how the book runs. Set them the way you actually think about them.

Drag both handles. Left handle: where small ends. Right handle: where large begins.
By premium, not account count. Rough is fine.
