Pro tip

Published appetite guides go stale faster than prompts do. Confirm before you send.

How to use this prompt

Prompt Variants by Model

Claude Sonnet 5
Act as a producer deciding where to send a submission. Match this account against carrier appetite before I waste a submission.

The account: [WHAT THEY DO, IN DETAIL]
Size: [REVENUE / PAYROLL / HEADCOUNT / UNITS / SQUARE FEET]
Lines needed: [LIST]
Loss history: [SUMMARY, OR "CLEAN", OR "UNKNOWN"]
Markets I have access to: [LIST YOUR CARRIERS AND MGAs]
What killed it last time: [IF THIS IS A RE-SHOP]

Produce, in order:
0. ASSUMPTIONS. Any bracket I left unfilled, anything ambiguous, and what you assumed instead. Write "none" if there were none
1. The classification argument. What class code or category this is, and the case for it
2. The classification argument AGAINST, since an underwriter will make it
3. Which of my markets is most likely to write it, ranked, with the reason for each
4. The one fact in this submission most likely to get it declined
5. What to put in the cover note so that fact does not kill it
6. What to gather before submitting
7. APPETITE CLAIMS TO CONFIRM BEFORE YOU SUBMIT. Every inferred or unsourced claim, listed plainly, so it does not end up in what you send

Rules:
- Anything you inferred rather than were told goes in "APPETITE CLAIMS TO CONFIRM BEFORE YOU SUBMIT" instead, never in both places
- Rank only markets I actually named. Never suggest a carrier I did not list
- Appetite changes. Treat any appetite claim as needing confirmation and put it in the verify section
- Hard limit: 600 words for the whole response. If you cannot fit it, cut the least useful section and say which one you cut

Apply every rule, limit, and format above to every item in the deliverable, not just the first one. Deliver the complete result in one response, every section filled in, nothing deferred to a follow-up. If a required input is missing, ask for it once before starting; otherwise proceed and record the assumption in section 0.

Notes: R42 build; insurance set. Tuned to vendor prompting guidance.
