Verification
Reading the certificate is a solved problem.
A proprietary interpreter reads the ACORD form with computer vision and OCR, extracts every field, and matches it against your requirement set. What used to take 15 to 30 minutes takes seconds.
90% COI automation rate, with edge cases flagged for review.
What gets read
Four things the interpreter pulls off the page.
Limits are the easy part. Endorsement scope is where manual review usually falls short.
Every field on the ACORD
Policy numbers and carrier, per-occurrence and aggregate limits, effective and expiration dates, named and additional insureds, endorsements, and exclusions.
Multi-certificate files
A single PDF holding several certificates gets each policy pulled out separately, rather than read as one document.
Matched per property
Requirement sets differ by property and risk tier, with owner add-on bundles evaluated server-side rather than remembered by a person.
The reason, not just the verdict
A rejection names what failed. Insufficient general liability, missing endorsement, expired workers comp. The vendor gets an itemized fix list.
Coverage checked
Four policy types, each with its own checklist.
General liability: occurrence and aggregate limits, additional insured endorsements, primary and non-contributory, waiver of subrogation, exclusions
Workers compensation: active status, statutory limits by state, experience modification rate, employer liability
Auto liability: combined single limit, vehicle schedule, hired and non-owned, MCS-90 where required
Excess and umbrella: limits, underlying coverage, follow-form provisions, drop-down coverage
What closes the loop
Most compliance tools stop at non-compliant. That is a buyer with no seller.
When a gap is real, InsurePro places coverage in the same flow at roughly $99 per vendor per year, in 49 states. The vendor goes from non-compliant to covered in minutes rather than losing weeks.
Verification tells you the answer. Placement changes it.

Handwritten additions, three policies in one PDF, an endorsement nobody can parse. That is the useful test.
