A bound policy that does not match what was quoted is an E&O claim waiting to happen

Patra checks it against the source documents and on two service levels, carries the E&O.
Policy Checking AI compares a bound policy against the documents it should match — the prior policy, the ACORD application, the binder, the bind order, the proposal or the quote — and reports what does not line up. It runs on Patra’s own AI, machine learning and natural language processing. Four service levels are available, from automated review with no human involvement to full process management by Patra processing executives. It is for retail agencies and brokers checking commercial policies at volume.

The problem

Policy checking is the step most often compressed when volume rises, and the cost of compressing it arrives later

Discrepancies surface after issuance

A coverage or limit that does not match the quote is cheaper to catch before the policy is bound than after a claim tests it.

Manual review does not scale

A thorough check runs to more than 900 points per policy. Volume forces a choice between depth and turnaround.

The exposure sits with the agency

An error in a bound policy is the agency's problem, and rework is the smaller half of the cost.

What Patra does

Patra’s AI extracts, analyzes and compares policy data, then reports discrepancies through a color-coded summary an account manager can scan

How much human review sits on top of that is the agency's choice.

Self-Service

The same AI automation through an interface your team drives. Extracts, compares and highlights discrepancies between policy versions.

Full-Service

AI review plus dedicated Patra processing executives who manage the process end to end, with final human oversight. Includes coverage for Patra E&O on every policy checked.

Custom

Tailored workflows, customized quality control and specialized reporting, with full process management and coverage for Patra E&O.

Why Patra
Depth of the check

A checklist of more than 900 points covering policy header, coverage and limits, exposures, and form schedules.

Coverage for Patra E&O

Included on Full-Service and Custom, on every policy checked.

Human review is a setting, not a fixed model

The same technology runs under four levels of oversight, so the agency decides where the judgment sits rather than accepting one arrangement.

Patented technology

The extraction and comparison technology is Patra's own. Patra holds two AI and technology patents.

Breadth of coverage

Twelve commercial lines, representing roughly 85% of policy volume, are handled with AI-powered extraction. Custom extends to all commercial and personal lines.

Output the agency can use

Color-coded discrepancy reports delivered in-app, by email, or saved directly into the client system, in XLSX, CSV or PDF.

Proof: client

One agency’s first year

A large multi-location agency managing complex commercial accounts began in April 2025 with 50,000 policies. It evaluated the service levels and chose a mix of Self-Service and Full-Service, assigning each by account complexity and premium level rather than running one model across the book.

75% reduction

in time spent on policy checking workflows.

$300,000 reduction

in annual policy checking expense.

30% handling

time savings.

The agency extended policy checking across its entire book, including lower-premium accounts it had previously skipped, and moved the recovered staff time to client-facing work and new business development.

Year two projections

The agency projects expansion to 90,000 policies and an annual policy checking cost reduction of $500,000, with no additional headcount as the book grows.

How it works

What happens to a policy once it reaches Patra

01
Upload

The policy document is uploaded, in-app or through the intake method for the chosen service level. Output: a policy queued for checking.

02
Compare

The AI compares the bound policy against up to two source documents — the prior policy, ACORD application, binder, bind order, proposal or quote. Output: a matched pair ready for review.

03
Check

The comparison runs against the 900-plus point checklist, including form detail comparison. Output: every discrepancy located and classified.

04
Report

Findings are returned as a color-coded discrepancy report and summary. Output: a report an account manager can scan and act on.
