Decision

Umbrella referral underwriter in a staffing firm with deteriorating loss development must choose Bind / Restrict / Decline / Hold using renewal large-loss narratives that contradict the application after a reserve increase that blows the account's loss ratio.

Hypotheses to test

• A reserve increase that blows the account's loss ratio is noise around an already-controlled Treaty and Excess process in a staffing firm with deteriorating loss development, given renewal large-loss narratives that contradict the application.
• A reserve increase that blows the account's loss ratio is the event in renewal large-loss narratives that contradict the application that forces Bind for umbrella referral underwriter under Insurance Underwriting.
• Renewal large-loss narratives that contradict the application shows a one-file miss after a reserve increase that blows the account's loss ratio, not a Treaty and Excess program failure.
